Abstract
Project has been running since March 2011.
• Three dwellings monitored include the first Scottish Passive house, a Low Energy House (no MVHR), and a 1950s dwelling; located in Dunoon, Scotland.
• Monitoring includes: energy use; internal and external conditions (Temperatures, RH and CO2 levels inside and temperature and solar radiation outside); and systems performance (including solar hot water).
• Post occupancy evaluation (POE) carried out through inspection and questionnaire.
• Energy used, CO2 and relative humidity levels compared.
• Operation of the different ventilation schemes highlighted.
• Costs and electricity tariffs highlighted.
• Learnings identified include ventilation, heat pump, solar and auxiliary hot water services.
• Improvements to current processes are suggested.
• POE and monitoring are essential feedback for the building design and construction process.
