Solid wall dwellings in the UK are in urgent need for energy retrofit to support achieving the UK net-zero strategies in the building sector and reduce fuel poverty. Several barriers are a cause of uncertainty for householders about Solid Wall 1nsula...

The role of aesthetics in energy-retrofit strategies: the case of solid wall houses in the UK (2021)
Thesis
Seifhashemi, S. (2021). The role of aesthetics in energy-retrofit strategies: the case of solid wall houses in the UK. (Thesis). University of Salford

Solid wall dwellings are responsible for 36% of the carbon emission from the domestic sector in the UK. Among energy retrofit measures, Solid Wall Insulation (SWI) is the most effective in reducing energy demand. However, the current rate for insu...

The impact of baseline wall U-value on energy performance of solid wall insulation (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Seifhashemi, M., Elkadi, H., & Fitton, R. (2020, September). The impact of baseline wall U-value on energy performance of solid wall insulation. Poster presented at 5th Building Simulation and Optimization 2020 Conference, Virtual

Solid wall dwellings are in high energy demand and need to be treated by energy retrofit measures such as internal wall insulation (IWI). U-value is the key parameter for energy saving evaluations. There are uncertainties about the U-values of solid... Read More about The impact of baseline wall U-value on energy performance of solid wall insulation.

The potential for cool roofs to improve the energy efficiency of single storey warehouse-type retail buildings in Australia : a simulation case study (2017)
Journal Article
Seifhashemi, M., Capra, B., Miller, W., & Bell, J. (2018). The potential for cool roofs to improve the energy efficiency of single storey warehouse-type retail buildings in Australia : a simulation case study. Energy and Buildings, 158, 1393-1403

Australia’s commercial building stock exceeds 134 million m2 of net lettable area, with retail buildings contributing 35% to this sector’s energy use. The energy intensity of retail buildings in hotter climates is higher than the national average, as...
