{"title": ["", "WLP+ (Whole Life Performance Plus)"], "description": ["", "\nStudies from academic literature have demonstrated that staff productivity can be increased by up to 20% by improving\nIndoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) such as temperature control, lighting and indoor air quality. The Whole Life\nPerformance Plus (WLP+) project will deliver a proven methodology for defining and measuring worker productivity, a\nstatistically proven model of IEQ for improving worker productivity, a means of identifying poor office environments, a\nmethodology for reconfiguring poor office environments to make them more productive and a control system for optimising\nIEQ in offices in real time. Our approach will also allow performance data from many buildings to be collected from our\ncontrol system which will sit over and integrate with existing building management and control systems.\n\nThe goal of the WLP+ project consortium is to enable commercial building owners to increase staff productivity by 10%\nwhile reducing energy use by 30%; targets that we believe are achievable and realistic, based on existing evidence. Since\nexpenditure on staff is at least 40 times higher than expenditure on energy, this offers a strong business case for the WLP+\nuser. The WLP+ project will develop and demonstrate empirically a link between IEQ and staff productivity in contact (call)\ncentres and professional business services buildings where large volumes of staff utilisation, productivity and absenteeism\ndata are available. The project will then resolve how the IEQ model can be used to monitor and control building\nmanagement and other building control systems to deliver these optimised IEQ conditions over the course of a working day\nfor minimum energy input. The WLP+ software solution will dynamically control commercial buildings and identify\ninterventions that are required for clients to optimise their working environments and minimise their building energy use.\n\nOur target market consists of three customers: end user owners, organisations that own and use their buildings, landlords\n& developers, who build, manage and rent space to tenants and tenants who rent and use space from landlords. Each\nmarket segment is different because of their economic drivers and ability to change or reconfigure their space.\nThe outcome of the project will be the creation of commercial software tool and consultancy offering, creating a business\nfor improving staff productivity.\nThe project consortium is led by an SME (LCMB), working in partnership with a major building occupier/owners (Kings\nCollege and clients of Emcor FM), dissemination partners (British Council for Offices and Constructing Excellence), and a\nUniversity (Oxford Brookes University (OBU)). The project team brings together highly qualified and specialised individuals\nwith progressive end users to combine cutting edge academic knowledge, data management skills and business\nintelligence that goes beyond the benefits each individual partner could achieve in isolation.\n\nThe project will include seven work packages (WPs):\n- WP1: Project management and reporting\n- WP2: Technical definition of the IEQ parameters, staff productivity and energy metrics using available datasets\n- WP3: Baseline data capture on IEQ, productivity and energy use.\n- WP4: Deploy improvement interventions to modify IEQ for enhancing productivity and reducing energy use in the test-bed\nare.\n- WP5: Software development of WLP+ protocol interface for deployment in building control and management systems of\nfuture projects.\n- WP6: Testing, validation and refinement of software tool by deploying in a case study commercial office building.\n- WP7: Dissemination and knowledge exchange.\n\n"], "extra_text": ["", "\n\nPotential Impact:\nThere are a number of different users and beneficiaries of the outputs of this research. We will ensure effective\nengagement with each group as follows:\nLANDLORDS AND OWNER-OCCUPIERS OF COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS will benefit from buildings with improved\ncapability to monitor and fine tune the indoor environment to increase productivity and reduce energy use. When this can\nbe demonstrated, it can become a valuable selling point for landlords, when marketing space for lease or sale.\nOFFICE BASED BUSINESS (and THEIR OCCUPANTS): to identify one office based business the WLP+ project is\nfocussing on, there are approximately 166,000 contact centres companies across Europe. Employees of office based\nbusinesses will directly benefit from more comfortable and enjoyable work places. The business owners are expected to\nincrease profitability from increased productivity.\nBUILDING INDUSTRY: beneficiaries in the building industry include architects, designers, engineers, and building controls\nsuppliers. All of the above would benefit from the results regarding design and construction of buildings with better spatial\nconfigurations which promote greater health, wellbeing and productivity, including integration of environmental controls\nwhich respond to user needs.\n\nCENTRAL GOVERNMENT, ITS AGENCIES and NON-GOVERNMENT AGENCIES: Government is expected to use WLP+\noutputs to inform policy, impact assessments, and analyse industry's response to change. The Department for Work and\nPensions and the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) will likely benefit from data collected and findings\nregarding health and wellbeing of individuals working in office environments. As an example, the Department for Work and\nPensions has developed a tool to help employers calculate costs of poor employee health to their organisation and create a\nbusiness case for taking action. This tool and the background information used to develop it are expected to be improved\nby the findings of WLP+.\nACADEMIC AND RESEARCH COMMUNITIES: We propose to share research results within the research community\nthrough conferences and journal papers in the usual way. Oxford Brookes University (OBU) and British Council for Offices\nwould present the findings at relevant international academic conferences (PLEA 2016, Sustainable Building 2017),\nindustry events (Retroexpo, Ecobuild, CIBSE Research Symposium), and policy workshops (with DECC and DCLG).\nLCMB team would disseminate the project outcomes through our memberships and task group work within Constructing\nExcellence and BIFM. Publications will be made through academic journal articles and policy-relevant papers and an endof-\nproject workshop will be organised to communicate the findings to a wider audience. More detail is provided in\n'Academic Beneficiaries'. For OBU specifically, the project would expand knowledge base into productivity metrics. IUK\nfunding will also allow research work to be demonstrated in real case study buildings owned and operated by King College\nand clients of Emcor FM.\n\nBROADER DISSEMINATION: In addition to those dissemination efforts detailed above, we will ensure an 'external'\npresence throughout via press releases, web presence and promotion of the project by project partners and attendance of\nconferences. The project team will actively consult the Modern Built Environment: Knowledge Transfer Network on\nappropriate dissemination routes for different built environment audiences. Although our work will be disseminated\nthroughout the project, a workshop will be held at the end of the project to communicate the findings to a wider audience.\n\n\n"], "status": ["", "Closed"]}
