DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In the pursuit of greater energy  efficiency\, build
 ings have become sophisticated pieces\nof equipment that require occupants
  to operate them in precisely defined ways. Creating a comfortable environ
 ment demands an unprecedented level of skill from occupants as well as an 
 understanding of how buildings and their systems work. This talk will exam
 ine new trends in low energy building design and what these mean for occup
 ants. The work draws on detailed field studies of how people use their hom
 es and the environments they create.\n\n*Biography*: Professor Chris Tweed
  is the BRE Trust Research Chair and Director of the BRE Centre for\nSusta
 inable Design of the Built Environment (SuDoBE) in the Welsh School of Arc
 hitecture at Cardiff University. His research is focused on the interactio
 n between people and built environment technologies\, with the intention o
 f informing design to improve the quality of human experience. A pervasive
  theme monitoring and analysing building performance from a human perspect
 ive.
