Quantifying the aggregate thermal performance of UK holiday homes (2016)
Journal Article
Johnston, D., Farmer, D., & Miles-Shenton, D. (2017). Quantifying the aggregate thermal performance of UK holiday homes. Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 38(2), 209-225. https://doi.org/10.1177/0143624416681614

In the UK, there are approximately 330,000 holiday homes spread across a large number of mainly privately owned sites. These homes are often sited in exposed locations, are poorly insulated and are generally heated using expensive fuels, such as elec...

Obtaining the heat loss coefficient of a dwelling using its heating system (integrated coheating) (2016)
Journal Article
Farmer, D., Johnston, D., & Miles-Shenton, D. (2016). Obtaining the heat loss coefficient of a dwelling using its heating system (integrated coheating). Energy and Buildings, 117, 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2016.02.013

This paper presents the methodology, along with some of the initial findings and observations from tests performed on two dwellings, of differing construction and form, in which a coheating test was performed using the dwelling’s central heating syst...
