dc.description.abstract buildings consume between 40 - 50% of the world's energy, and as a result bare become a prime focus towards achieving net-target energy and greenhouse gas reductions. Within the UK building policy sets minimum standards for building regulated loads (demands associated with building fabric and energy demanding systems), which has resulted in policy driven ‘generic’ fabric first approach to building energy management. However, concerns an increasingly being raised that this fabric' approach can result in an increased energy demand The work presented in this study investigates the appropriateness of a fabric' first approach and evaluates the effectiveness building fabric (U-values) in the urban contend. The case study area is Central London, an area populated with prestigious office buildings that can be considered representative of many central Europe cities. en_US
