WORLD GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL new report finds “overwhelming evidence” that office design significantly impacts the health, wellbeing and productivity of staff. Health, Wellbeing and Productivity in Offices: The Next Chapter for Green Building finds that a range of factors – from air quality and lighting, to views of nature and interior layout – can affect the health, satisfaction and job performance of office workers.
The report – sponsored by JLL, Lend Lease and Skanska – also presents a simple toolkit that businesses can use to measure the health, wellbeing and productivity of their buildings and inform financial decision-making.

Salford Energy House – 400 sensors and solid wall insulation http://bit.ly/1uCNJ28 What do you get when you carry out a whole house retrofit under environmentally controlled conditions and measure the impact with over 400 sensors? Headline results:
63% reduction in heat loss (solid wall insulation being responsible for 72% of this) 50% reduction in air leakage (42% from the new airtightness membrane) Heating bills in the property down from £554 to £206 (a £348 saving!) In this project involving Salford and Leeds universities and Saint-Gobain, a fabric first approach was taken on a full scale typical 1919 end-of-terrace house in a controlled chamber. This is a chamber in which weather conditions like rain, snow, wind and temperature can be produced at the flick of a switch. External wall insulation was fitted to the side and rear of the house. Internal wall insulation was fitted to the front wall. Loft insulation was topped up, underfloor insulation was added and existing double glazing was upgraded.

Design and construct a low cost, zero carbon, family starter home, transport it to Spain, build it, landscape it and open it to the public. That was the challenge faced by a group of students from the Department of Architecture at The University of Nottingham when they agreed to enter the first ever Solar Decathlon Europe in 2010. Now the Nottingham HOUSE (Home Optimising the Use of Solar Energy) is back home on University Park.
Saint-Gobain's insight:
In response to the growing demand for housing in the United Kingdom, Saint-Gobain and the University of Nottingham have developed a new habitat solution: the Nottingham H.O.U.S.E (Home Optimizing the Use of Solar Energy). Officially launched in June on the University campus, this project was a collaborative effort with architecture and engineering students. The house has been designed to perform at the lowest level of energy usage and is a viable, repeatable low-cost family home. The Nottingham H.O.U.S.E was opened in the presence of Zero Carbon Hub, an organization supporting the delivery of zero carbon homes, and Build Offsite, an organization promoting prefabricated offsite construction.
