What is adaptive thermal comfort?

Overheating in buildings has historically been quantified by the number of occupied hours per year that the indoor temperature exceeds a particular temperature, irrespective of external temperatures. However, recent research has shown that comfortable room temperature changes with the external air temperature meaning that occupants are comfortable with higher room temperatures during warm weather. This […]

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 […]
