Energy House 2.0, the design, construction, and commissioning process of a housing testing facility (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The global issue of climate change is now readily accepted by most. Buildings contribute 40% of EU emissions, so the need to address mitigation is clear, but changing climate also creates a need for adaptation in buildings. Modelling is an accepted w...

Comparisons between the UK Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) and Home Energy Model (HEM) for a zero-carbon ready home (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The decarbonisation of the building sector, a significant sources of carbon emissions, is critical for achieving the UK's net-zero ambitions. To improve the accuracy of residential energy assessments, alongside the anticipated Future Homes Standard (...

Heat Transfer Coefficient of a Building: A Constant with Limited Variability or Dynamically Variable? (2025)
Journal Article

The heat transfer coefficient, or the HTC, is an industry-standard indicator of building energy performance. It is predicated on an assumption that it is of a constant value, and several different methods have been developed to measure and calculate...

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...
