Exploring employee energy efficiency awareness in UK commercial offices: IT and small power (2018)
Journal Article
Morris, J., & Oliveira, S. (2019). Exploring employee energy efficiency awareness in UK commercial offices: IT and small power. Energy Efficiency, 12(5), 1237-1252. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12053-018-9748-z

Energy consumption reduction is called upon across UK business facilities in order to mitigate the rising impacts of climate change. Business facilities such as office buildings rely on a range of electrical equipment on a day-to-day basis (Carbon Tr...

Architects’ approaches to early stage design energy modelling – an organisational perspective (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Oliveira, S., & Marco, E. (2018, September). Architects’ approaches to early stage design energy modelling – an organisational perspective. Paper presented at Building Simulation and Optimization 2018, Cambridge, England

Energy modelling practices have been mainly studied from energy modellers' and/or building services engineers' perspectives. In addition, most discussions have focused attention on analysis parameters and tool features, with less attention devoted to...

Do domestic heating controls save energy? A review of the evidence (2018)
Journal Article
Lomas, K., Oliveira, S., Warren, P., Haines, V., Chatterton, T., Beizaee, A., …Gething, B. (2018). Do domestic heating controls save energy? A review of the evidence. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 93, 52-75. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2018.05.002

© 2018 The Authors Claims about the benefits of heating controls are often biased, unsubstantiated, misleading, or incorrect. This paper presents a systematic and critical international review of the evidence for the energy saving, cost effectiveness... Read More about Do domestic heating controls save energy?

Role of 'community spaces' in residents' adaptation to energy-efficient heating technologies-insights from a UK low-energy housing development (2018)
Journal Article
Oliveira, S., & Marco, E. (2018). Role of 'community spaces' in residents' adaptation to energy-efficient heating technologies-insights from a UK low-energy housing development. Sustainability, 10(4), 934. https://doi.org/10.3390/su10040934

© 2018 by the authors. Advanced energy-efficient heating technologies are often integral to low-energy home design, practice, and policy. The expectation is that technologies designed to lower space-heating energy use may also contribute to better pe...
