Plymouth Science Park has been helped to accelerate their carbon reduction plans, receiving
Low Carbon Devon
's research expertise. They’ve been given expert advice on the energy efficiency of their office spaces and how to improve indoor environmental quality.
The project
Dr Korsavi visited Plymouth Science Park's offices to record a range of data, including temperature, carbon dioxide and particle matter. She surveyed the occupants on their comfort levels and compared this with data taken from wristbands they wore with analytical sensors.
Dr Korsavi has been able to boost Plymouth Science Park's plan by giving them bespoke recommendations on ways to improve indoor environmental quality. She was also able to advise on adaptive behaviours employees can take to save energy and improve the environment such as optimal times to ventilate. She was able to demonstrate the importance of adaptions that link to improved staff well-being and productivity
The team at Plymouth Science Park have found Dr Korsavi’s recommendations to be a great help and has started to make changes to their offices. As an initial step, the enterprise has installed more sensors providing information on local environmental conditions and occupancy and more installation within existing premises to reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint.
