Research Fellow in Building Performance Evaluation

We are pleased to announce a new and exciting full-time post of Research Fellow in Building Performance Evaluation, based in the Low Carbon Building Research Group at the School of Architecture, Oxford Brookes University (Oxford, UK).

This new research post is part of our growing portfolio of cutting-edge research projects on building performance evaluation and post-occupancy feedback. These include: ‘Counting the real carbon’ project which seeks to develop bespoke and industry-focussed measurement and monitoring protocols embedded in a soft-landings framework, for both domestic and non-domestic buildings; and a range of ‘Building Performance Evaluation projects’, which aim to reduce the credibility gap between designed and actual performance by evaluating the actual energy and environmental performance of case study buildings from both technical and occupants’ perspectives.

The closing date is 7 February 2012.

The Low Carbon Building Group (LCBG) at Oxford Brookes University has a strong international reputation in the field of carbon counting (RIBA award-winning DECoRuM model), building performance evaluation, climate change adaptation of buildings and neighbourhoods, and low carbon communities.
