Impact of User Behaviour in Office Building on Energy Reduction Strategies
Onyango J (1) and Ciaran R (2)
Energy use in non-domestic buildings (offices and factories) in the UK contributes an estimated 17% of total emissions. With smart-metering it should be possible to decrease this by 70-75% by 2050. However, research shows actual energy demands in offices are typically higher than modelling suggests is needed, due to idiosyncrasies of individual behaviour. This article features a case study in a library, and highlights the need to share energy data and energy management strategies with all users.

The Paper Industry Technical Association (PITA) is an independent organisation which operates for the general benefit of its members – both individual and corporate – dedicated to promoting and improving the technical and scientific knowledge of those working in the UK pulp and paper industry. Formed in 1960, it serves the Industry, both manufacturers and suppliers, by providing a forum for members to meet and network; it organises visits, conferences and training seminars that cover all aspects of papermaking science. It also publishes the prestigious journal Paper Technology and the PITA Annual Review , both sent free to members, and a range of other technical publications which include conference proceedings and the acclaimed Essential Guide to Aqueous Coating .
