Building Energy Research Group (BERG)

SportPark Pavilion 4 has a Green Apple Award Environmental Best Practice! It's one of the very few certified #Passivhaus office buildings in the UK and the first on @lborouniversity -setting the benchmark for sustainable campus development 💚 @bedform @LboroVC @SustainLboro

Our first Passivhaus building, and we will be monitoring the performance as part of our research.

'Housebuilder helps PhD students' The benefits of energy-efficient homes – and how they’re constructed – came under the spotlight during a visit by 20 ERBE PhD researchers from the UK and Ireland to the award-winning housebuilder William Davis Homes. uknewsgroup.co.uk/housebuilder-h…

"Building Performance measurements can help us to identify homes that are too expensive to heat, or that get too hot in the summer." Academics @LboroABCE are supporting a push to improve the energy performance of our homes. More 👇 lboro.ac.uk/media-centre/p…

Great new guidance from the @FutureHomesHub on where to start with Building Performance Evaluation irp.cdn-website.com/bdbb2d99/files…

Few weeks back, I had the opportunity to present a small part of my PhD research at the @Cisbat_ conference. The piece highlighted findings from an online survey. 1/3rd of the respondents reported poor sleep quality and heat was the primary contributor to sleep disturbance.
