2、with support for case studies from Santander Universities. Research Councils UK and the Carbon Trust were members of the steering group, and the Carbon Trust advised on best practice in carbon footprint.SummaryIt is estimated that non-domestic buildings were responsible for 18% of UK total greenhous
3、e gas emissions (582 Mt CO2e/year) in 2010. Of non-domestic building emissions, 34% (36 Mt CO2e/year) was due to lighting, office equipment and catering and 46% (49 Mt CO2e/year) was due to heating.A team consisting of researchers at the University of Reading, the Universitys Facilities Management D
4、irectorate and Newera Controls Ltd. conducted two separate investigations to measure and demonstrate the potential for two important and complementary approaches in achieving energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emission reductions in buildings. The first focused on influencing user behavior, in an
5、office building on the main campus. The second considered an interventionist approach in an accommodation block at the Henley Business School using intelligent monitoring and control systems. To date, the first investigation has demonstrated a 20% saving in lighting, office equipment and catering en
6、ergy use, largely through user awareness and behavior change. The second has indicated that savings in heating energy of the order of 24% can be achieved by enhancement of legacy Building Management Systems (BMS) using a Building Energy Management System (BEMS). There is also scope for further savin
7、gs if the BEMS system is extended to other services such as lighting.General descriptionOver the past 20 years many different buildings have been labeled as “intelligent” (Clements- Croome, 2004). Industry has many established intelligent building solutions but finds it difficult to demonstrate and
8、prove their benefits. Intelligent sustainable buildings improve business value because they take into account environmental and social needs, and occupant wellbeing, which leads to improvement in work productivity. The ideal system links the building, systems within it and the occupants so they have
9、 some degree of personal control. Intelligent controls help to match demand patterns (Qiao et al., 2006; Noy et al., 2007). It has been demonstrated that effective action on greenhouse gas emissions requires building users to be involved in both the process and the operation, so that they feel part
10、of carbon management of plans. An integrated building management system (BMS) allows separate systems to work together, in this case for effective building control. Often, a BMS cannot meet the user expectations due to a number of challenging factors:The systems may be wrongly specified because of m
11、ultiple stakeholders with conflicting requirements.The systems have not considered usability.It is difficult to reach a consensus on the criteria for optimum performance of the BMS to match the buildings behavior. The lack of compatibility and inter-operability is between different systems. Confound
12、ing factors arising from socio-economic and organizational issues can complicate the operation of the BMS. A team from the University of Reading School of Construction Management and Engineering, University of Reading Facilities Management Department and Newera Controls Ltd. Conducted two separate i
13、nvestigations to provide examples of reducing emissions through both technical solutions and novel ways of encouraging behavioral change.The first investigation considered reducing energy use in the Carrington Building at the University of Reading, by influencing the behavior of building users. It i
14、s part of a wider energy reduction project involving a number of buildings on the Reading Campus.The Carrington Building is a modern, three storey office block, completed in September 2007, housing the universitys Student Services. The building is occupied by office-based university staff, students
15、visit the building with queries (e.g. housing, finance etc), and several meeting rooms are available for use by other university staff. The building has several environmental design features, including a ground source heat pump, and was designed to be energy efficient. However, it became apparent th
16、at, in practice, the building was not performing as efficiently as anticipated. Therefore, during the first academic term of 2009/10, the universitys Facilities Management Directorate (FMD) energy team and Carnego Systems set up a project to investigate the poor energy performance of the building and to determine whether energy savings could be made by influencing user behavior in the building
