Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, Ahead of Print. The government has targets to upscale domestic heat pump retrofit as part of the strategy to decarbonise heat. There are significant barriers to uptake including installation cost t…
Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, Ahead of Print. Low-temperature domestic hot water (DHW) systems provide significant carbon reduction benefits, supporting the UK’s 2050 net-zero target. Typically, low water volume applications do…
Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, Ahead of Print. This paper proposes a methodology for the early-stage selection of climate control systems in building design, focusing primarily on minimising whole life carbon (WLC) emissions. A …
Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, Ahead of Print. This study explores a closed-loop multivariable control system for HVAC systems. A hybrid distributed parameter-lumped model was developed using MATLAB’s System Identification Appli…
Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, Ahead of Print. Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) are used across Europe to communicate the energy performance of buildings to a range of different end users. However, as new approaches are int…
Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, Ahead of Print. Many low-energy buildings rely on a night purge strategy during periods of excessively warm weather in order to flush out excess heat and thereby help prevent overheating on the fol…
Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, Ahead of Print. Increasing concerns about energy consumption have led to an increasing need for buildings that can efficiently manage heat transfer and reduce reliance on active heating or cooling …
