Authors: David Cowan CEng, Graeme Maidment FInstR, Issa Chaer FInstR
Paper 2
This paper provides a short summary of work carried out over a 20 year period exploring the possibilities and challenges of low energy buildings, how policy has gradually shifted in this direction and where the current challenges lie. It draws on a few particular examples to explain what has and what has not worked.
