Development and initial trial of a tool to enable improved energy & human performance in existing commercial buildings

Abstract

Green Building has been a large focus for the construction industry, with Green Star certified commercial buildings becoming the new standard for commercial office buildings. However there has been little focus on the improvement of existing buildings, and many of Australia's capital cities have ageing building stock that is not operating efficiently and contributing to the nation's growing greenhouse gas emissions.
