An occupant-centric assessment of the building performance gap in low utilisation, higher education facilities
Seminal literature advocates that the occupants of buildings are the real consumers ofenergy, not the buildings. While this is a helpful philosophy for design and retrofit analysis, it is not entirely accommodating of operational building energy demand. An optimistic amendment would suggest that it …
