What has #BuildingPhysics ever done for us?

last month we travelled to Leeds to give a presentation to CIBSE Yorkshire entitled ‘What has Building Physics ever done for us?’. We had a marvellous time, and Simon Owen kindly created a Storify for the event. https://storify.com/CalibreSimon/what-has-building-physics-ever-done-for-us?utm_campaign=website&utm_source=email&utm_medium=email You can see our presentation (the first one we’ve done in Prezi) here: https://prezi.com/i5eoyhuoyul8/what-has-building-physics-ever-done-for-us/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy

Mind the ‘Performance Gap’ – Inkling offering CIBSE TM54 predicted in-use energy modelling

The “Performance Gap” – the difference between design predictions and operational energy use – is a serious issue for our industry. The CarbonBuzz web site shows that many buildings consume between 1.5 and 2.5 times the predicted design energy. In order to address this, the industry needs both better energy-use predictions and a greater […]
