Investigating the impact of renewing floor coverings on the energy performance of dwellings with suspended timber floors, tested under controlled conditions (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Marshall, A., Fitton, R., Benjaber, M., & Swan, W. (2018, September). Investigating the impact of renewing floor coverings on the energy performance of dwellings with suspended timber floors, tested under controlled conditions. Presented at International Conference for Sustainable Design of the Built Environment SDBE, London

Dwellings with suspended timber floors are commonplace in the UK, making up almost a third of the overall housing stock. Floor coverings, such as carpets and vinyl, are often used in these types of dwellings to achieve thermal comfort, aesthetics and...

Comparison of whole house heat loss test methods under controlled conditions in six distinct retrofit scenarios (2018)
Journal Article
Alezzo, F., Farmer, D., Fitton, R., Hughes, T., & Swan, W. (2018). Comparison of whole house heat loss test methods under controlled conditions in six distinct retrofit scenarios. Energy and Buildings, 168, 35-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2018.03.024

The accurate assessment of buildings to assess their performance across a range of parameters is an essential part of understanding both new and retrofit buildings. The growing understanding of the performance gap in terms of its assessment and chara...
