Description

Episode #31 with Adrian Leaman & Bill Bordass . If you’ve started looking into building performance and post occupancy evaluation at all you’ll soon come across research and tools that Adrian Leaman and Bill Bordass have had a hand in. Together they were involved in the creation of the BUS methodology, the Soft Landings framework, Probe, which later became Nabers, then Nabers UK and Display Energy Certificates – or DEC ratings. They are experts in making buildings truly usable through feedback and strategy. The pair’s website UsableBuildings.co.uk is a treasure-trove of guidance, research and case studies aimed at encouraging those who make buildings, think about end users, understand their experiences, and take their feedback seriously.Some links to the files we discussedwww.usablebuildings.co.ukhttps://www.usablebuildings.co.uk/UsableBuildings/Unprotected/GeorgeKasabov1979.pdfhttps://www.usablebuildings.co.uk/UsableBuildings/Unprotected/Logistical.pdfhttps://www.usablebuildings.co.uk/UsableBuildings/Unprotected/WhoBenefits2Sep2013.pdfhttps://responsible-retrofit.org/greenwheel/https://www.usablebuildings.co.uk/UsableBuildings/Unprotected/FlyingBlind.pdfhttps://www.usablebuildings.co.uk/UsableBuildings/Unprotected/Usability.pdfhttps://www.usablebuildings.co.uk/UsableBuildings/Unprotected/HowIntelligent.pdfZero Ambitions is a podcast about sustainability, net-zero goals, and the built environment.

Zero Ambitions is a podcast about sustainability, the built environment, and zero-carbon goals. We talk about how sustainability applies to the built environment, to draw attention to the achievability of it all, wherever there is the will to make a difference. It's not easy, but it is possible. Hosted by Jeff Colley (Passive House Plus), Dan Hyde (Everything is User Experience) and Alex Blondin (Everything is User Experience) Zero ambitions is a hub for sharing good practices, advice, stories about the importance of sustainable building, retrofit, performance, efficiency, new materials, strategies, and whatever needs to be done in order to meet the collective challenges that lie ahead.
