Amid recent concern about overheating in Passivhaus, this study investigates geometrical implication of façade design to alleviate overheating in new build energy-efficient homes in the UK. The study proposes self-shading façade design as a less conv... Read More about The impact of building form on overheating control: A case study of Larch House.

Comparison of prediction tools to determine their reliability on calculating operational heating consumption by monitoring no-fines concrete dwellings (2018)
Journal Article
Sierra, F., Mahdjoubi, L., Gething, B., Alzaatreh, A., Fitton, R., & Marshall, A. (2018). Comparison of prediction tools to determine their reliability on calculating operational heating consumption by monitoring no-fines concrete dwellings. Energy and Buildings, 176, 78-94. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2018.07.012

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Nowadays most retrofit decisions are based on reducing CO2 / heating consumption. The aim of this study was to determine the reliability of three tools (RdSAP, SAP and IES) often used to predict these reductions. Three no-fines c...

Making energy behaviour research relevant to policy: A tale of two studies (2017)
Journal Article
Chatterton, T., Tsang, F., Oliveira, S., Burge, P., Prestwood, E., Poghosyan, A., & Gething, B. (2017). Making energy behaviour research relevant to policy: A tale of two studies

Within a context of shrinking government resources and greater pressure on academics and other researchers to generate ‘impact’ from (publically funded) research there is a greater need than ever to ensure that published research is readily usable by...
