Internal gains for the meeting space are calculated to accomodate up to 10 people at onces, the building material aims to conserve internal energy gains however, more activity and internal gain may assist energy performance of the building (Motuzienė, 2017).

Graph does not reach CIBSE Reccomended Temperature Requirements, Possible active systems may be needed to be utilised in order to push building temperatures higher for indoor thermal comfort.

Maximum Operative Temperature at 10°C on 2nd January. The building envelope is not adapting to the climate therfore, solar gain is restricted and thermal properties of materiality is not being used to its full potential during the cooler period of the year (Designing Buildings, 2022).

South Facing large span openings for maximum Solar exposure to floor surface and utilisation of Thermal Mass. Potential cause of overheating during summer (Designing Buildings, 2022).

Maximum Dry-Bulb Temperature 12°C on 26th January. Passive heating will need to be maximised to its full potential, utilising solar gain and window placement for sun orientation.

7°C Average Operative Temperature - too low to comply with thermal comfort (CIBSE, 2005).

Summer Solstice

Large North Openings help to cool the building down through ventilation flow, however prevents energy conervation during Winter.

January recorded graph does not reach the reccomended CIBSE Guide A Reccomendations for indoor reccomended Thermal Comfort (Fig.X) (CIBSE, 2012).

Highest recorded Operative Temperature is 17°C on 02nd January. Required Indoor Thermal Comfort is not achieved and will require a strategy of Active systems powered by Naturally Sourced Energy.

Minimum Operative Temperature at 3.5°C on the 8th January. Building Performance does not comply with CIBSE Guide A Substantually (CIBSE, 2005).

Minimum Dry-Bulb Temperature is as low as -5°C. Building will require substantual natural heating and Thermal Properties to maintain comfort for users.

Maximum Dry-Bulb temperature reaches 28°C on the 15th July. Cooling required to keep the building comfortable.

Maximum Operative Temperature Complies with CIBSE reccomendations at 23.5°C on 15th July (CIBSE, 2005)

Average Operative Temperature

Lowest Operative Temperature at 17.5°C on 01st July, Improvement needed to comply with CIBSE, Passive Strategies will be able to push temperatures up from 9.5°C - 12°C to reccomended temperatures of 23°C25°C to comly with (Fig. X).

Lowest Dry-Bulb Temperatureat 9.5°C on 8th July, requireing maximum solar gain to allow the building to capure passive heating from the sun.

Reccomended CIBSE Indoor comfort complies with the buildings indoor temperature for Conference / Board Rooms of between 23°C25°C (CIBSE, 2012).

Lowest Operative Temperature in the buidling is at 12°C. Slight use in acvtive systems will need to be utilised in order to achieve CIBSE Standard, passive energy will need to be utilised for solar gain potention such as Solar Cells and Wind power in order to provide enrgy for active systems to heat the spaces to reach thermal Comfort in the Winter (Designing Builidng, 2022) active systems will not be needed as cooling in the summer is needed in order to prevent overheating to the space.

Dry-Bulb Temperature highs of 12°C on 26th January. Building Performance meets outdoor temperature at this date.

Active systems will need to push indoor themperature up to reach indoor thermal comfort.

Minimum Dry-Bulb temperature of -5°C on the 5th January.

Building Performance maintains 15°C therfore slight active strategy will be required to achieve Building comfort of CIBSE reccomendations of 22°C 23°C.

Highest Outdoor Dry-Bulb Temperatures reach 26°C on 15th July. slight overheating of 25.5°Coccurs here, will need minimal assistance from any active systems to comply with CIBSE Standards (CIBSE, 2012).

North Facing Windows restricted to smaller widths and height to minimise heat loss during the Winter and control indoor temperature for thermal comfort.

Multiple smaller span openings towards the South to minimise head gain during the summer and heat loss during the Winter.

Lowest Indoor Temperature reaches 22.5°C on 1st July.

Lowest Dry-Bulb Temperatures reaching 9.5°C on the 8th July however, building comfort maintains a balance of 24°C utilising passive strategies.

Maximum Indoor Temperature with Highs of 26°C on the 30th July Minimun need for active systems as open windows can minimise this number.

Average Temperature ranging at 25°C withing acceptable CIBSE reccomendations (CIBSE, 2012).
