A Practitioner Study into the Variability of Domestic Energy Assessments (2023)
Journal Article
Gledhill, T., Swan, W., & Fitton, R. (2023). A Practitioner Study into the Variability of Domestic Energy Assessments. International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation, https://doi.org/10.1108/IJBPA-10-2022-0167

This paper focuses on the assessment of a domestic property’s energy performance status by a Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA), to ascertain the possible underlying reasons for variability in the results of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). By var... Read More about A Practitioner Study into the Variability of Domestic Energy Assessments.

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... Read More about Surface condensation risk pre- and post-retrofit at suspended timber ground floors and external wall junctions.

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.
