Invited lecture: Improving building performance

The Architecture, Climate and Environment Research Group brings leading expert in building performance evaluation Bill Bordass to Nottingham.

The research group is holding one of its meetings on Wednesday the 30th of April 2014 and has organised an open lecture as part of the day. It is a great opportunity to hear from one of the leading contributors to building science in the UK.

The lecture by Bill Bordass, OBE, is entitled Improving building performance: Sparing no expense to get something on the cheap?

Bill Bordass is a building scientist who worked at RMJM London, where he led its building services and energy groups. In 1984 he set up William Bordass Associates, which studies the technical and environmental performance of new, existing and historic buildings in operation and works closely with human factors specialists. He was on the Probe team which undertook and published 20 post-occupancy evaluations of recently completed buildings. He is research and policy adviser to the Usable Buildings Trust charity, which collects and disseminates information on building performance and its implications. He has contributed to over 200 publications including energy consumption guides, the Soft Landings Framework (2009) and the Special Issue of Building Research & Information on New Professionalism (2013).

The day will be followed by a social at the Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, Brewhouse Yard.
