Author(s) : ROBINSON D.

Type of article: Article

Summary

A quasi-automatic system has been developed to monitor the energy and environmental performance of a new university learning resource centre. The centre is a THERMIE demonstration project. Monitoring has concentrated on global performance indicators, micro-performance indicators, to describe performance at the zonal level. The effectiveness of the building in reducing energy consumption and providing a pleasant internal environment has been quantified. Results suggest that greater attention should be paid to humidification, distributing daylight, and appropriate automatic and manual occupants controls.
