Building Energy Efficiency is a hot topic at the moment. If you ask an architect about energy efficiency, they will say it is mostly to do with design and construction. A controls person will tell you that real energy efficiency requires a state of the art BMS system. The air conditioning engineer will of course, tell you it’s all about the air conditioning design. The St Columba School library project is a great example of how a holistic approach that integrates design, construction, BMS and air conditioning technology can produce truly exceptional energy efficiency results.
