Transcript of HPB newsletter
THE BASBi-monthly newsletter for Buildings that work for you &your tenants
Building AutomationSystems We provide the latest Building
Automation Systems that get
rid of the chaos and reduce
operating cost of managing
your buildings.
T H E C C I B U I L D I N G by BD&O We believe it is possible to
obtain energy savings of
more than 50% compared
with traditional control
strategies.
Manually report – utility
billing. – The BAS can be
used to provide utility and
track building performance
to reduce maintenance.

WHAT IS HIGH PERFORMANCE BUILDINGS? A building whose structural envelope and services have been integrated to optimize energy efficiency
and water usage.Critically it provides an indoor environmental quality to ensure occupant satisfaction
and productivity.
Buildings in South Africa areresponsible for over 40% of thenational energy uses. Toensure our energy supplies,reduces energy demand andcosts and reduce carbonemissions, the energy use ofexisting buildings needs to besignificantly reduced.
At the same time, buildings
must perform effectively the
functions for which they are
built. They need to be
comfortable, at as appropriate
temperature, well ventilated
and lit and have appropriate
acoustics. They also need to use
water efficiently, both because
it is becoming an expensive
scare resource and because the
processing, distribution and
disposal of water is energy
intensive.
In addition, there are many
buildings that are claimed to be
green “low energy or high
performance buildings”.
Experience shows that there is
a major credibility gap between
design intent the potential
performance of the building as
initially constructed and the
reality of everyday practical
operation.
We use an internationally
recognized set of building
performance metrics to enable
the measurement of
performance in buildings. These
identify what to measure how it
is measured and how often it
measured.
THE GLASS HOUSE BUILDING
It is efficiently operated
and maintained through
its entire life cycle to
increase its economic
value.
