Pioneering Net Zero Homes: A Study of Bellway “The Future Home” Simulation Calibration (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Tsang, C., Fitton, R., Hernandez, H. D., Henshaw, G., & Sitmalidis, A. (2024). Pioneering Net Zero Homes: A Study of Bellway “The Future Home” Simulation Calibration.

This paper demonstrates how Bellway's "The Future Home (TFH)" project contributes to the decarbonisation of UK housing stock, providing valuable insight into building net zero homes. A dynamic simulation model was initially created using design U-val... Read More about Pioneering Net Zero Homes: A Study of Bellway “The Future Home” Simulation Calibration.

Surface condensation risk pre- and post-retrofit at suspended timber ground floors and external wall junctions (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Glew, D., Thomas, F., Tsang, C., & Miles Shenton, D. (2023). Surface condensation risk pre- and post-retrofit at suspended timber ground floors and external wall junctions. . https://doi.org/10.14293/ICMB230016

Insulating below suspended timber ground floors affects heat transfer at the ground floor to external wall junction, which can affect the risk of surface condensation occurring. In this project, we investigate the impact of installing mineral wool i...

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.
