Achieving Energy Efficiency in Office Building
Abstract This paper is to present a case of a newly built office building in the UK and to show how the energy efficiency technology in building might contribute to the energy conservation and therefore in full compliance with Part L building regulation. A large array of solutions are used which include the use of ventilation system with good high heat recovery system, limiting the heat loss and gain through the fabric by enhancing levels of insulation of building fabric to achieve lower u-values, limiting the heat loss and gain through the fabric of the building by improving air tightness to minimise any uncontrolled air leakage, provision of space heating and hot water systems which are energy efficient, improve daylight levels and reduce artificial lighting energy, provision of lighting control systems with appropriate lamps so that energy can be used efficiently improve control and monitoring of mechanical heating and ventilation systems. The office building in case study has shown the compliance with the building regulation and thus conserves the energy. Energy conservation and the compliance with building regulation are achieved through early incorporation into the building design.
