Journal Article
Johnston, D., Farmer, D., Brooke-Peat, M., & Miles-Shenton, D. (2016). Bridging the domestic building fabric performance gap. Building Research and Information, 44(2), 147-159. https://doi.org/10.1080/09613218.2014.979093

In the UK, it is recognised that there is often a discrepancy between the measured fabric thermal performance of dwellings as-built and the predicted performance of the same dwellings and that the magnitude of this difference in performance can be...

Adding value and meaning to coheating tests (2014)
Journal Article
Stafford, A., Johnston, D., Miles-Shenton, D., Farmer, D., Brook-Peat, M., & Gorse, C. (2014). Adding value and meaning to coheating tests. Structural survey, 32(4), 331-342. https://doi.org/10.1108/SS-01-2014-0007

Purpose: The coheating test is the standard method of measuring the heat loss coefficient of a building, but to be useful the test requires careful and thoughtful execution. Testing should take place in the context of additional investigations in o... Read More about Adding value and meaning to coheating tests.
