Within the UK non-domestic building stock, offices built between 1940 and 1980, are especially in need of retrofit, they can suffer from high energy consumption and thermal discomfort. Many post-war offices will still be in use throughout the first h...

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.
