The current research “Energy conservation in buildings at the Technion campus” is part of various activities undertaken lately by Technion with the aim of reducing the impacts on the environment and improving energy conservation within the campus. Technion has also recognized recently the need for providing improved internal conditions in the newly erected buildings, while putting more emphasis on reduction of the operating costs, with the knowledge that energy would be a prime factor.
This work focuses on two new buildings erected recently on the Technion campus – The faculty of Computer Science (Taub Building) and The Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering (Rabin Building).
