An Advanced Refurbishment Evaluation Methodology for Modernist Office Buildings (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Duran, O., & Lomas, K. J. (2021). An Advanced Refurbishment Evaluation Methodology for Modernist Office Buildings.

The energy used in non-domestic buildings accounts for 18 \% of the energy use in the UK. Modernist office buildings, typically defined as those built between 1945 and 1985, represent a promising sector for refurbishment and energy demand reduction....

The Impact of Refurbishment on Thermal Comfort in Post-war Office Buildings (2015)
Journal Article
Duran, Ö., Taylor, S., & Lomas, K. (2015). The Impact of Refurbishment on Thermal Comfort in Post-war Office Buildings. Energy Procedia, 78, 877-882. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2015.11.011

Post-war office buildings have been modelled using EnergyPlus to determine the effect on thermal comfort of a range of energy- saving refurbishment measures. The native buildings were found to be thermally uncomfortable in the winter due to low opera... Read More about The Impact of Refurbishment on Thermal Comfort in Post-war Office Buildings.
