Mind the performance gap - regulated vs unregulated

For a number of years we have been measuring building energy performance in different ways, often comparing oranges with apples. There is a clear gap between the way we measure and compare predicted and actual energy performance. Designers look at regulated loads whereas facilities managers look at the whole energy bill including unregulated loads. Energy certificates have taken a similar line with EPCs only considering unregulated loads based on perfect operation.

Can we  bridge the performance gap between regulated and unregulated? Where does poor management and waste fit in? How can we provide the construction industry and more coherent way of representing building energy performance? This conference seeks to address some of these questions in order to ensure that actual performance can be related to design.

This conference is for:

• Designers
• Facilities managers
• Modellers
• Researchers
