Energy House 2.0, the design and construction process of a housing testing facility (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The global issue of climate change is now readily accepted by most. Buildings contribute 40% of EU emissions, so the need to address mitigation is clear, but changing climate also creates a need for adaptation in buildings. Modelling is an accepted w...

York ASHP Report (2024)
Report
The report aims to outline the performance outcomes derived the YORK YKF05CNC Air Source Heat Pump installation in the Vector Home, a recently constructed cradle-to-cradle, sustainable, modular and affordable smart home constructed from recycled mate... Read More about York ASHP Report.
Pioneering Net Zero Homes: A Study of Bellway “The Future Home” Simulation Calibration (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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.
Dataset for article "A Heat Loss Sensitivity Index to Inform Housing Retrofit Policy in the UK" (2024)
Data
This study employed dynamic thermal simulation models for 32 housing archetypes representative of solid-walled homes in the UK to calculate the heat loss and sensitivity coefficient per building fabric feature, after which a metric Heat Loss Sensitiv...
