Sustainable Human to Building Behavioural Interaction: Awareness Development Roadmap and Training Programme

Increasing energy efficiency is a fundamental pillar for the socio-economic welfare of Egypt. However, the rapid growth of the country limits the resources required to meet its national demands, particularly in higher education buildings. The significance of the SusHumBuild institutional link project is to bridge the gap between the rapidly developing advancement advancements in research and training occupants’ behaviour on energy use between the British University in Egypt (BUE) and London South Bank University (LSBU).

The aim of the SusHumBuild project to build capacity in education, research, innovation and exploitation of state-of-the-art energy efficiency strategies from a holistic sustainable development approach as an influential initiative to meet socio-economic demands both in Egypt and the UK. The objective is to develop training programmes and benchmarking criteria for educational sector that coordinate between stakeholders, researchers, academics and practitioners that embed holistic energy conscious implementation to avoid overheating risk and reduce energy consumption of higher educational buildings in different climate regions both in Egypt and the UK.
