Enhancing the detection performance of a vision-based window opening detector (2022)
Journal Article
Tien, P. W., Wei, S., Calautit, J., Darkwa, J., & Wood, C. (2022). Enhancing the detection performance of a vision-based window opening detector. Cleaner Energy Systems, 3, Article 100038. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cles.2022.100038

In favourable climates and building types, employing natural ventilation can lead to significant energy savings and health benefits. However, in cold climates or conditions, the use of natural ventilation could result in significant heat loss and, co...

The impact of wind upon the pulse technique measured airtightness of a detached dwelling (2022)
Journal Article
Hsu, Y. S., Zheng, X., Kraniotis, D., Gillott, M., Lee, S. K., & Wood, C. J. (2022). The impact of wind upon the pulse technique measured airtightness of a detached dwelling. Building and Environment, 215, Article 108955. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2022.108955

The novel Pulse technique measures the building airtightness in a dynamic approach, involving a low-pressure pressurisation process, typically in 1–10Pa. It is known that the wind effect is one of the main sources of uncertainty for airtightness test...
