Journal Article
Lavafpour, Y., & Sharples, S. (2015). Using Tilted Façade to Reduce Thermal Discomfort in a UK Passivhaus Dwelling for a Warming Climate. Energy Procedia, 78, 2232-2237. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2015.11.341

© 2015 The Authors. This study investigated the potential negative impacts of future UK climate change on dwellings. In particular, the risk of overheating was considered for a Passivhaus dwelling in London. The study used dynamic simulation modellin...

© 2015 by the authors. This study uses numerical thermal simulation to investigate the potential use of building geometry to eliminate or reduce current and future thermal discomfort overheating risk in UK Passivhaus dwellings. The study focused on t... Read More about Summer thermal comfort and self-shading geometries in Passivhaus dwellings: A pilot study using future UK climates.
