This project will research key relationships between occupant health and wellbeing and low energy buildings. Firstly, how active building monitoring can ensure ongoing performance-gap-free energy performance. Secondly, the relationship between low energy buildings and the health and wellbeing of occupants.Existing research has demonstrated gaps between predicted and in-use energy performance in non-domestic buildings of 2-10 times. Low energy/carbon buildings can be achieved in practice through best practice to reduce the energy performance gap, using high levels of design and construction scrutiny. However, the performance of low energy buildings with regard to their indoor environmental quality is still poorly understood: this includes indoor temperature, moisture/humidity, air pollutants, and associated exposures that could impact on human health and wellbeing. Commissioning issues and user operation can still impact in-use energy demand and environmental conditions which can positively or negatively impact occupant health and wellbeing, along with their satisfaction and productivity. Building monitoring can potentially enable real-time and retrospective insights into these key conditions.Architype Architects have been delivering industry-leading low energy buildings for almost 4 decades, with over 15 years of experience delivering Passivhaus projects. Their in-house Building Performance team have expert experience in these topics with an online portal for real-time monitoring of buildings. They have previously undertaken and supported multiple research projects in this area. The successful candidate will be supported by members of Architype's building performance and research team and will be welcomed by the wider practice community.

该项目将研究居住者健康和福祉与低能耗建筑之间的关键关系。首先，主动建筑监控如何确保持续的性能-无差距的能源性能。第二，低能耗建筑与居住者健康和福祉之间的关系。现有研究表明，非住宅建筑的预测和使用中的能源性能之间存在2-10倍的差距。低能耗/低碳建筑可以通过最佳实践在实践中实现，以减少能源性能差距，使用高水平的设计和施工审查。然而，低能耗建筑在室内环境质量方面的表现仍然知之甚少：这包括室内温度，湿度/湿度，空气污染物以及可能影响人类健康和福祉的相关暴露。调试问题和用户操作仍然会影响使用中的能源需求和环境条件，这可能会对居住者的健康和福祉沿着他们的满意度和生产力产生积极或消极的影响。建筑监测可以实时和回顾性地了解这些关键状况。近40年来，Architype Architects一直在提供行业领先的低能耗建筑，拥有超过15年的被动式住宅项目经验。他们的内部建筑性能团队在这些主题方面拥有专业经验，并拥有一个在线门户网站，可对建筑物进行实时监控。他们以前曾在这一领域开展和支持多个研究项目。成功的候选人将得到建筑性能和研究团队成员的支持，并将受到更广泛的实践社区的欢迎。
