  • Thermal Memory and Transition in Lobby Spaces
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Energy Procedia 62 ( 2014 ) 502 – 511 6th International Conference on Sustainability in Energy and Buildings SEB-14 Thermal memory and transition in lobby spaces Gloria A Vargasa *, Fionn Stevensona aThe University of Sheffield - School of Architecture,The Arts Tower , Western Bank , Sheffield S10 2TN, United Kingdom Abstract This paper investigates people’s short term thermal history in transitional lobby spaces. It sets out the first stage for exploring the possibility that repeated short term experiences can modify people’s long term thermal history and thermal memory towards a better thermal adaptation. Data from 50 lobby spaces in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in the UK was collected in order to identify lobby typologies. Fieldwork was carried out during the summer of 2013 in three different buildings in Sheffield, UK. Surveys involved 610 questionnaires along with simultaneous environmental monitoring at four specific points and two sequences of spaces from exterior to an interior environment. People’s thermal perception was analysed in space sequences with lobby and without lobby. Methodology and initial results are presented in this paper. Outcomes suggest that people’s thermal perception can be altered over short periods of time. Temperature differences from one space to another, temperature sequences and direction are the main factors affecting people’s thermal memory in the short term. The paper provides valuable insights on the key factors that impact upon people´s adaptation and tolerance to changing thermal experiences. © 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Steve Betney (BSc Physics 1965) Thank you This magazine is the result of a request for memories of student life from alumni of The University of Sheffield who graduated in the years 1965 to 1984. The publication provides a glimpse into an interesting period in the University’s history with the rapid expansion of the campus and halls of residence. The eyewitness accounts of the range and quality of bands promoted by the Students’ Union are wonderful testimony to the importance of Sheffield as a city of music. And the activities of students during the Rag Parade and Boat Race would create panic in the Health and Safety Executive if repeated today. I wish to thank everyone who responded so generously with their time and sent us their recollections and photos. Just a fraction of the material appears here; all of the responses will become part of the University Archives.

  • Post Occupancy Evaluation of University Buildings in the UK
    Post Occupancy Evaluation of University Buildings in the UK (Case Study: The Diamond, Sheffield) Mohamed Elsayed 1 and Ranald Lawrence 2 1 MSc Sustainable Architecture, Department of Architecture, University of Sheffield, UK [email protected] 2 MA, MPhil, PhD (Cantab) [email protected] Abstract: The Diamond, housing teaching and research space for the Faculty of Engineering, represents the largest ever capital investment for the University of Sheffield. Costing £81m, construction began in 2013 and the building was officially opened on 28th September 2015. The building employs a complex Building Management System to manage the internal environment. It is an example of a modern building that has been designed to take control away from occupants and use automated systems to control environmental conditions and mitigate interventions by occupants. This relies on the Standard Effective Temperature model to assign comfort temperatures. This is based on the PMV thermal comfort model derived from extensive laboratory experiments to establish mean thermal comfort scores (Fountain et al., 1996). However, beginning with a range of field studies in the 1970s, Humphreys and McIntyre have shown that the range of temperatures that building occupants report as ‘comfortable’ is wider than reported in controlled laboratory conditions. Leaman and Bordass (2001) define Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) as a process for creating a dynamic, continuous and improving knowledge base that can be used to continuously improve a building’s performance over its life time. (Bordass et al., 2001). As many design stage decisions are based on broad assumptions of how a building will perform, conducting POE provides an opportunity for gathering real information to improve and inform future projects (Zimmerman and Martin, 2001).
