POST OCCUPANCY EVALUATION AND ADAPTIVE CONTROLALGORITHMS

A Post Occupancy Evaluation was performed in the Administration and Student ServicesBuilding (ASSB) in Southampton University as part of the European project SustainableArchitecture Applied to Replicable Public-Access Buildings (SARA). This building wasfinished in the spring of 2006, and the staff has been asked to comment on itsperformance over the first summer and winter. This POE was developed according toprevious research done by Oxford Brookes University for the British ResearchEstablishment and other European projects.An adaptive control algorithm was also installed at the BMS level affecting this building inan attempt to show the potential for reducing energy consumption based on setting up acomfort temperature using the adaptive thermal comfort approach. The impact of these twoactions are discussed in this paper
