Abstract

The relationship between fuel consumption in a multi-storey block of flats and climatic exposure is investigated. Fuel consumption anomalies between identical flats are attributed to vagaries in the airflow around the building and highlight the need for improved standards of thermal insulation and/or differential thermal insulation, dependent upon flat location. Climate and building design and the subject of building Climatology in architectural education are discussed briefly.
