Description

Energy performance feedback is essential for addressing the climate crisis. This book provides a practical guide to understanding how energy is used in buildings and driving down operational energy use. It draws on evidence from building performance evaluations, original research, and case studies of seven exemplary buildings across the UK and abroad that have achieved low energy use through effective building design and operation. The book explains what works and why it often doesn't, providing a clear roadmap to understanding aspects that impact comfort and satisfaction. By exploring the factors behind energy use and how to track it across a project's life cycle, this book offers valuable insights for architects, students, clients, building services engineers, contractors, and other stakeholders seeking to create buildings that perform as intended.
