A Heat Loss Sensitivity Index to Inform Housing Retrofit Policy in the UK (2024)
Journal Article
Tsang, C., Parker, J., & Glew, D. (in press). A Heat Loss Sensitivity Index to Inform Housing Retrofit Policy in the UK. Buildings, 14(3), 834. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings14030834

A substantial number of dwellings in the UK have poor building fabric, leading to higher carbon emissions, fuel expenses, and the risk of cold homes. To tackle these challenges, domestic energy efficiency policies are being implemented. One effective... Read More about A Heat Loss Sensitivity Index to Inform Housing Retrofit Policy in the UK.

The effect of brick properties on hygrothermal performance of solid walls (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Tsang, C., Thomas, F., Hardy, A., & Glew, D. (2023). The effect of brick properties on hygrothermal performance of solid walls. . https://doi.org/10.14293/icmb230018

To construct buildings of the future that are both energy-efficient and moisture-resilient, it is critical to have an in-depth understanding of the varying characteristics of brick properties. This study sampled eight brick-cores taken from solid wal... Read More about The effect of brick properties on hygrothermal performance of solid walls.

Reducing Energy Consumption and Improving Comfort by Retrofitting Residential Buildings in the Hot Summer and Cold Winter Zone of China (2022)
Journal Article
Tsang, C., Spentzou, E., J. Lomas, K., & He, M. (2022). Reducing Energy Consumption and Improving Comfort by Retrofitting Residential Buildings in the Hot Summer and Cold Winter Zone of China. Journal of Architectural Engineering, 28(4), https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29AE.1943-5568.0000568

China’s Hot Summer and Cold Winter zone, with a 550 million population, accounts for 45% of China’s building energy consumption; as such, building retrofits could offer substantial energy savings. This paper presents results from a dynamic thermal mo...
