Building operation with an interest in energy efficiency, CO2 emissions. Costs and benefits of automated building control, costs and benefits of simplified approaches. Rehabilitations as a factor within the lifecycle. User satisfaction, indoor climate, air quality, value of real estate, lettability. Operating costs for more sophisticated free spaces, green façades and roofs, common spaces.
