  1. The relationship between personal values and energy efficiencyA case study from Keele University Máté János Lőrincz PhD Researcher, Keele University

  2. Keele University: Facts and Figures UK’s largest and most attractive university campus, with 617 acres of landscaped parkland, fields, woodlands and lakes. Although Keele is one of the largest and most attractive university campus in the UK, it is one of the smallest universities in terms of student numbers, with a genuine, friendly student and staff community.

  3. Strategy Keele University’s Strategic Aim: To develop an environmentally aware and sustainable outward-facing campus community • Strategic Objectives • To demonstrate environmental sustainability through innovation, good practice and ethical choices in all our activities • To unlock the potential of the University Estate so that it underpins the attainment of our vision • To share and provide the University’s expertise in environment and sustainability to local, regional, national and international communities and partners

  4. Green buildings arenot-so-green because of people! 2011 2012 “One reason that some green buildings are not achieving their environmental performance is because employees, tenants and visitors are not doing their part to leverage green building technology, or to help the building with its conservation goals(William Grayson, 2011).”

  5. Awarness One powerful way to build awareness of resource use is to context employees actions in environmental and economical terms. Source: Darby, 2006

  6. AutomationTechnologyMotion Sensors Failure Some automated controls remove too much control from occupant. There is a need to identify how to design control systems that meets end users requirements while minimising energy use. Source: Bordass et al., 1993

  9. Behaviour and Energy Use “The relationship between a dwelling and its occupants is highly complex and varies over time. Together a building and its occupants form an integrated system in which people live their lives and emit carbon (Bell et al., 2010).”
