Bringing building simulation to a wider audience - A web based simulation and optimisation system (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The paper describes the development of a new web based expert system that uses jEPlus+EA and EnergyPlus as core engines for finding optimum solutions for retrofit of zero carbon design of buildings. The main goal is to scale up the use of building si... Read More about Bringing building simulation to a wider audience - A web based simulation and optimisation system.

A scenario-based analysis of building energy performance (2013)
Journal Article
Caputo, S., Caserio, M., Coles, R., Jankovic, L., & Gaterell, M. (2013). A scenario-based analysis of building energy performance. Proceedings of the ICE - Urban Design and Planning, 166, 326--348. https://doi.org/10.1680/udap.12.00008

Inherent to the sustainability discourse is concern about the long-term future. If sustainable, cities must deliver positive benefits over their possibly long lifetime. Yet in formulating guidance and negotiating design choices for urban development,... Read More about A scenario-based analysis of building energy performance.

Implications of climate change and occupant behaviour on future energy demand in a zero carbon house (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The Birmingham Zero Carbon House is a retrofitted Victorian house that has achieved carbon negative performance. Future predictions of temperatures are showing an increase in Cooling Degree Days (CCD), even under a low carbon emissions scenario. This...

Simulation experiments with Birmingham Zero Carbon House and optimisation in the context of climate change (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The Birmingham Zero Carbon House is a Victorian house that has achieved carbon negative performance through retrofit. The house has been extensively simulated in parallel with detailed instrumental monitoring. A dynamic simulation model of the house...

Testing energy efficiency in urban regeneration (2012)
Journal Article
Caputo, S., Caserio, M., Coles, R., Jankovic, L., & Gaterell, M. R. (2012). Testing energy efficiency in urban regeneration. Proceedings of the ICE - Engineering Sustainability, 165, 69-80. https://doi.org/10.1680/ensu.2012.165.1.69

One of the main objectives currently pursued in planning sustainable urban environments is the reduction of energy consumption. Strategies for energy and the built environment are given in UK planning policies. Yet the application of such strategies... Read More about Testing energy efficiency in urban regeneration.

Sustainable energy? A feasibility study for Eastside, Birmingham, UK (2006)
Journal Article
Hunt, D. V. L., Jefferson, I., Jankovic, L., & Hunot, K. (2006). Sustainable energy? A feasibility study for Eastside, Birmingham, UK. Proceedings of the ICE - Engineering Sustainability, 159(4), 155-168. https://doi.org/10.1680/ensu.2006.159.4.155

Eastside, a 130 ha brownfield site located to the eastern side of Birmingham's city centre, is undergoing social, economic and environmental changes, driven mainly through public and private investment estimated to be worth £6 billion. The regenerati... Read More about Sustainable energy? A feasibility study for Eastside, Birmingham, UK.

CAST – City Analysis Simulation Tool: An Integrated Model of Land Use, Population, Transport, and Economics (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The paper reports on research into city modelling based on principles of
Science of Complexity. It focuses on integration of major processes in cities, such as
economics, land use, transport and population movement. This is achieved using an
exten... Read More about CAST – City Analysis Simulation Tool: An Integrated Model of Land Use, Population, Transport, and Economics.
