From the author: Although heating energy consumption for these buildings was successfully reduced, electrical energy consumption was much greater than in the existing stock of schools. Obvious causes are the increase in the use of IT in schools, as well as more stringent internal air quality standards. Less obvious causes are lack of building management training for "intelligent" buildings, new regimes of usage in the buildings, and control strategies that default to equipment and lights being on rather than off. The paper calls for more postoccupancy evaluation to ensure that genuine low-energy buildings are produced.
