The formation of the design teams had taken place and O’Malley had set up Building Design Associates as the design team for regional technical colleges at Dundalk, Galway, Sligo and Waterford. The design was originated by a consortium formed as a design team which were hand picked by the Fianna Fail Minister of Education, Donogh O Malley in 1966/67 (Magill 04/88). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d22a1ae5dd5b5f9d745603/1520344634598-RDTBMQFWEQPT8ZTYA4SZ/Old+Campus.png Timeline gallery - February 1967 The new minister of education appointed a design team for the new Cork Regional Technical College.

They replicate the structural design almost regimentally. The M&M Building uses an innovative twin skin full height glazed envelope with natural ventilation between structures. Internally, the quality of the finishes exceeds that of its Irish counterparts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d22a1ae5dd5b5f9d745603/1520344630122-MQAOEVJ0CAUYASVDITPK/Old+Picture+4.jpg Timeline gallery - 1974 The original structure comprises a two storey precast un-insulated concrete building, with an un-insulated 100mm castellated concrete roof panels and original 6mm clear single glazing with aluminium frames. The extent of the retrofit scope under this phase is limited to the first floor with south, west and north elevations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d22a1ae5dd5b5f9d745603/1520344627958-U2KNFAUVSPXUYNUP27JH/Existing+building.jpg Timeline gallery - 1974-2011 Main Campus The existing building is pre building regulations and has a very poor performing thermal envelope with a very high level of air infiltration and subsequent uncontrolled heat loss. Furthermore, the existing fabric has deteriorated since its 1974 completion date and in particular its 30% glazing coverage has a thermal transmittance U-Value ofgreater than 5.5 W/m2K including frame (300% worse than current building regulations recommended levels of performance). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d22a1ae5dd5b5f9d745603/1520344630519-H3HJMSFBGP2OUWNCJDCZ/Picture1.jpg Timeline gallery - 2011 Overall envelope design methodologies - Limiting heat loss & high level of air tightness - Reduce active mechanical - Scalable in a modular - Natural ventilation, occupancy control and use of the existing concrete massing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d22a1ae5dd5b5f9d745603/1520344652098-UIACDPQLZOJBMCFXLDJW/Picture8.png Timeline gallery - 2011 Composition of the wall https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d22a1ae5dd5b5f9d745603/1520344644274-RA4JT3LKI0ASFMN4QQ69/Picture5%281%29.png Timeline gallery - February 2012 New building construction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d22a1ae5dd5b5f9d745603/1520344648394-N1S51YGM57WMZ82NBEVD/Picture9.png Timeline gallery - 2012 Construction of the upper area https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d22a1ae5dd5b5f9d745603/1520344644408-1BC8FQTXIL8RRS0LK3YO/Picture6.jpg Timeline gallery - May 2012 Construction of the floor area https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d22a1ae5dd5b5f9d745603/1520344644709-QXYV1D363FMBSS1I7JHQ/Picture7.jpg Timeline gallery - September 2012 New building completion https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d22a1ae5dd5b5f9d745603/1520507784173-QYL7O3I7ULAF4EYHRKUE/Picture4.png Timeline gallery - 2015-2016 Installation of solar panels on the roof : 24kWp The virtual smart grid comprises the national grid, NBERT building, NBERT micro-grid and the CIT main campus building.

Ventilative Cooling Tool Assessing the ventilative cooling (VC) potential of the Irish climate involves the selection of climate data, geographic location, definition of building properties, thermal comfort classification and modelling functionality for ventilation systems. Provision of an infrastructure that integrates these into a user friendly online tool for researchers, policy makers and practitioners will be based on the VC Potential tool developed by EURAC Institute with IEA-EBC Annex 62. Additional functionality will be added to the tool for prediction of ventilation rates and levels of thermal comfort satisfaction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d22a1ae5dd5b5f9d745603/1525343475176-0488VY0SJEZNZ1H8FZLV/_00T7118.jpg Interactive Apps - Reduced Order Building Model Using energy models of buildings that are computationally inexpensive and require less simulation domain expertise can be useful for early stage analysis and optimisation of building energy performance. The Reduced Order Building and System Model (ROBAS) allows rapid assessment of building energy performance using Resistance-Capacitance network modelling coupled with a simplified airflow model. The tool will enable users explore the factors influencing internal environment in low energy passive buildings.

Exploring how strategies such as, for example, variable thermal supply, enthalpy control and demand controlled airflow can improve performance of air systems. The HVAC Optimisation tool will allow users explore multi-variable analysis of standard and non standard Air Handling Unit Designs. The tool will enable users build modular systems that incorporate heating, cooling, humidification and filtration and analyse their performance over defined boundary conditions. The tool also includes a cleanroom Air Change Rate assessment function.
