Reducing space heating energy demand supports the UK’s legislated carbon emission reduction targets and requires the effective characterisation of the UK’s existing housing stock to facilitate retrofitting decision-making. Approximately 6.6 million U... Read More about Heat-flow variability of suspended timber ground floors: Implications for in-situ heat-flux measuring.

Assessing the performance of domestic heating controls in a whole house test facility (2016)
Journal Article
Fitton, R., Swan, W., Benjaber, M., Hughes, T., & Todd, S. (2016). Assessing the performance of domestic heating controls in a whole house test facility. Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 37(5), 539-554. https://doi.org/10.1177/0143624416634070

The energy consumed by domestic space heating systems represents a considerable share of the energy consumed in the UK. At the same time up to a quarter of English homes have inadequate controls on the central heating systems. Current modelling tool...

The variability of UK domestic energy assessments (2016)
Journal Article
Gledhill, T., Kempton, J., Swan, W., & Fitton, R. (2016). The variability of UK domestic energy assessments. Journal of Building Survey, Appraisal and Valuation, 4(4), 264-279

The 2008 Climate Change Act has committed the UK to reduce carbon emissions by 80 per cent in 2050 from 1990 levels. Key to achieving this is a focus on reducing carbon emissions in residential property, where more than a quarter of the nation's carb...
