Green buildings arenot-so-green because of people!
20122011
“One reason that some green
buildings are not achieving their
environmental performance is
because employees, tenants and
visitors are not doing their part to
leverage green building
technology, or to help the building
with its conservation goals
(William Grayson, 2011).”

One powerful way to build awareness of resource use is to context employees actions in environmental and economical terms.

There is a need to identify how to design control systems that meets end users requirements while minimising energy use.

Behaviour and Energy Use
“The relationship between a dwelling and its occupants is highly complex and varies over time. Together a building and its occupants form an integrated system in which people live their lives and emit carbon
(Bell et al., 2010).”
