St. George's Gate, Oxford
In 1998 St George's Gate was assessed for energy conservation and client satisfaction in use by Sue Roaf's unit at Oxford Brookes University. Of the seven modern student accommodation buildings studied it was best in both energy efficiency and user satisfaction.
The heating stragey includes a heated upper ground floor slab, and highly controlled indivdual heaters in the student rooms. The building relies heavily but not exlusively on natural dayllight and ventilation.
