Abstract
In well-designed and well-managed buildings, comfort and energy efficiency can go together. Occupants should enjoy reasonable comfort under automatic control, but should also be able to alleviate discomfort manually when necessary. BRE studies show that improved controls for temperature, lighting and ventilation will lead to energy savings.
