Publication Year

Abstract
The BRE low-energy office (LEO) at Garston was among the first buildings constructed in the UK with the aim of minimising energy use. In the summer of 1989 the original heating system, now ten years old, was refurbished, using up-to-date technology. This paper reports on the performance of the condensing boiler based wet heating system in the LEO during the 1989/90 heating season, and compares it with other performances in previous years, including that of the electric heating system installed in the building.
