CommentIs commissioning the key to successful building performance?
Fine-tuning a building’s performance is not easy and more work needs to be done to help facilities managers and building owners
CommentDoes old insulation work?
We know how to build insulated but we don’t know how the thermal performance of building materials deteriorates over time - perhaps we should …
CommentRubbish in, rubbish out
What’s the use of different energy prediction software packages producing such varied results?
CommentWhy are we so bad at data entry?
Simple errors, such as using the wrong unit of quantity, happen too often and make much of our building performance data meaningless
CommentWhat performance gap?
Energy comparisons of buildings are meaningless unless we define our terms very clearly
