Energy Performance and Thermal Comfort in a High-Rise University Halls of Residence

Energy Performance and Thermal Comfort in a High-Rise University Halls of Residence

This project intends to investigate the impact of occupant-related parameters on energy performance using a newly built ‘BREEAM excellent’ University Halls of residence building as a case study. More specifically, it will address the challenge of achieving energy efficiency and comfortable indoor conditions in a building which accommodates international students with potentially very different and contradicting thermal comfort preferences and habits.
