Why do award-winning 'green' buildings so often have higher energy
bills than ordinary buildings? Why do expensive refurbishments
deliver outcomes that are far from the promises of improved
sustainability? Why does your building have high running costs and
still the occupants complain about being too cold or too hot and
are otherwise dissatisfied? The UK's failure to produce buildings
that are comfortable with excellent energy performance should be
regarded as a national scandal. Yet achieving low energy buildings
does not involve learning rocket science: just some basic building
physics, a clear language for talking meaningfully about
energy-efficient outcomes with all those in the buildings cycle,
and an outlook that casts a new low energy perspective on old
problems. This book provides that common language. It outlines a
path towards understanding what makes for a good quality low energy
building, the stakeholders that need to be engaged, and encourages
new ways of thinking about how to reduce energy use and costs.
