MC Building Physics

Post occupancy

The handover of a building is far from the last point at which Building Physics plays a part in high performance buildings.

MC Building Physics can offer the following for the evaluation and improvement of building performance, post occupancy.

Weather station

Performance monitoring

Measurement and evaluation of actual conditions within the building's spaces and of plant operation can identify opportunities to improve efficiency and occupant satisfaction.

We have experience ranging from internal monitoring to investigations into plant operation.

Cooling tower smoke test

Energy audit

Energy use in a building can be audited from meter readings to give an overall picture.

Greater detail can be achieved using logging power meters installed in areas of interest.

Soft landings

The offerings described on this page can be used during the post occupancy phase of a Soft Landings approach to building design and handover.

Soft Landings involves closer interaction between designers, contractors and building users with the aim of better performing buildings.

Post occupancy surveys

Find out how the occupants feel about the building.

There is a range of established techniques for this from web based surveys to workshops. We can help select then apply the method that best suits you.
