The earth is warming from emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere with disastrous potential human impacts in this century. Signs are already evident: increasing major storm frequency, melting glaciers and super droughts. Building O&M are often overlooked in this context. Effective O&M is essential to ensure sustainable buildings remain so, and O&M improvements across the large existing buildings sector could cut GHG emissions quickly while improving energy efficiency, comfort and IAQ. The seminar explores ways of improving building O&M and the potential impacts of improved O&M on GHG emissions, energy efficiency and comfort.
