Buildings Behaving Badly Webinar

In this webinar, Dr Richard Jack, Technical Director, presents compelling findings from our unique performance database to quantify precisely how much models and measurements differ and why, offering unprecedented insights into the scale of the problem.

When measured, heat loss in buildings fails to match energy models more than half the time. This widespread discrepancy raises crucial questions about the effectiveness of current design, construction, and validation practices.

This session isn't just about identifying the problem; it's about providing solutions. We will outline actionable strategies and innovative approaches that can identify and address the performance gap. We’ll discuss the vital role of robust testing and measurement in validating building performance, enabling you to:

  • Identify issues early and optimise energy efficiency
  • Gain valuable knowledge on how to move beyond theoretical predictions and achieve actual, high-performing buildings
