Cellular automata simulation of three-dimensional building heat loss (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Conventional design development and simulation
methods provide a top-down approach towards
exploration of design solutions. This research identifies
this limitation and presents a bottom-up approach
framework inspired by nature. Natural interacti... Read More about Cellular automata simulation of three-dimensional building heat loss.

Reducing simulation performance gap from hempcrete buildings using multi objective optimization (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Hempcrete is increasingly used as a construction material, as it provides stable temperature and relative humidity conditions in buildings. In addition to low energy operations, buildings built from hempcrete possess negative embodied CO2, absorbed i...

A simulation method for measuring building physics properties (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Designing building energy performance with confidence requires accurate information on the properties of building materials and on assemblies of these materials. However, thermal properties of the building in use are rarely compared to manufacturers’... Read More about A simulation method for measuring building physics properties.

Opportunities for financing sustainable development using complementary local currencies (2019)
Journal Article
Jankovic, L. (2019). Opportunities for financing sustainable development using complementary local currencies. IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 297, Article 012023. https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/297/1/012023

Financing building retrofit projects that contribute to climate change mitigation has always represented a significant barrier. With 28% of global emissions coming from existing buildings, it is of paramount importance to carry out retrofit measures...

Design Implications of Model-Generated Urban Data (2019)
Journal Article
Jankovic, L. (2019). Design Implications of Model-Generated Urban Data. #Journal not on list, 16(2), 50-63. https://doi.org/10.17831/enq%3Aarcc.v16i2.1061

The staggering complexity of urban environment and long timescales in the causal mechanisms prevent designers to fully understand the implications of their design interventions. In order to investigate these causal mechanisms and provide measurable t... Read More about Design Implications of Model-Generated Urban Data.

Lessons learnt from design, off-site construction and performance analysis of deep energy retrofit of residential buildings (2019)
Journal Article
Jankovic, L. (2019). Lessons learnt from design, off-site construction and performance analysis of deep energy retrofit of residential buildings. Energy and Buildings, 186, 319-338. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2019.01.011

The article introduces the process of deep energy retrofit carried out on a residential building in the UK, using a ‘TCosy’ approach in which the existing building is completely surrounded by a new thermal envelope. It reports on the entire process,... Read More about Lessons learnt from design, off-site construction and performance analysis of deep energy retrofit of residential buildings.
