One of the objectives of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) Demonstration of Energy Efficiency Potential (DEEP) Retrofit Project was to investigate the unintended consequences of fabric retrofit. The primary objective of the Ener... Read More about DEEP Report 5.01 Salford Energy House Fabric Performance Testing.

Pioneering Net Zero Homes: A Study of Bellway “The Future Home” Simulation Calibration (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper demonstrates how Bellway's "The Future Home (TFH)" project contributes to the decarbonisation of UK housing stock, providing valuable insight into building net zero homes. A dynamic simulation model was initially created using design U-val... Read More about Pioneering Net Zero Homes: A Study of Bellway “The Future Home” Simulation Calibration.

Assessing Building Performance in A Low Carbon Home: A comparative study of the energy modelling representing design and as-built phase (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Buildings, as the second-largest carbon emitter, play a significant role in decarbonising efforts to achieve net zero in the UK. The proposed Future Homes Standard aims to ensure a 75-80% reduction in carbon emissions by increasing the building energ...

Dataset for article "A Heat Loss Sensitivity Index to Inform Housing Retrofit Policy in the UK" (2024)
Data

This study employed dynamic thermal simulation models for 32 housing archetypes representative of solid-walled homes in the UK to calculate the heat loss and sensitivity coefficient per building fabric feature, after which a metric Heat Loss Sensitiv...

A Heat Loss Sensitivity Index to Inform Housing Retrofit Policy in the UK (2024)
Journal Article
Tsang, C., Parker, J., & Glew, D. (in press). A Heat Loss Sensitivity Index to Inform Housing Retrofit Policy in the UK. Buildings, 14(3), 834. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings14030834

A substantial number of dwellings in the UK have poor building fabric, leading to higher carbon emissions, fuel expenses, and the risk of cold homes. To tackle these challenges, domestic energy efficiency policies are being implemented. One effective... Read More about A Heat Loss Sensitivity Index to Inform Housing Retrofit Policy in the UK.
