Would be interested to know how they achieve the air movement required to adequately supply fresh air.

Steamy Tea may have something to say on the Thermal Mass claims too..!]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=11918&Focus=199289#Comment_199289 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=11918&Focus=199289#Comment_199289 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:19:40 +0100 SteamyTea https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=11918&Focus=199290#Comment_199290 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=11918&Focus=199290#Comment_199290 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:29:14 +0100 Ed Davies https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=11918&Focus=199291#Comment_199291 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=11918&Focus=199291#Comment_199291 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:32:32 +0100 Ed Davies Posted By: SteamyTeaNot the same climate regime as the UKBit warmer in summer, bit cooler in winter but not dramatically different (in the way that bits of continents and major islands beginning with 'A' are).

I'll bet the occupancy density is quite low in terms of m2/person and the building will run out of range occasionally - monday mornings might get a bit chilly for the first few hours and it may well run over 26C on late afternoons by friday.

I don't really see why calling in external consultants to model the building is an issue - it's quite normal to do that (if only to shift risk)

If it doesn't work, you can see the liabilites from tenant to owner occupier being quickly shifted to the building physisists - who will be equally quick to point out what constraints exist on the occupancy behaviour

I get the impression that when it's cold outside, user control of vents is disabled and all bets are off in relation to air quaility in favour of maintaining temperature

Built from 36cm bricks and I presume 4cm cavity.

Thermal mass anyone?]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=11918&Focus=199301#Comment_199301 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=11918&Focus=199301#Comment_199301 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:35:04 +0100 Jonti
Climate in Austria only really differs in the humidity levels compared to the UK and that it has a lot less wind.

April fool's joke? maybe, maybe not.
