Field testing of the QUB method for assessing the thermal performance of dwellings: In situ measurements of the heat transfer coefficient of a circa 1950s detached house in UK (2020)
Journal Article

In this paper the findings from a long-term field study of the thermal performance of a circa 1950s dwelling are presented and discussed. The study aimed at evaluating the robustness of the QUB method in the field under UK climatic conditions. A seri...

Quantifying airtightness in Brazilian residential buildings with focus on its contribution to thermal comfort (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. Airtightness refers to the amount of air leakage through a building’s envelope. This uncontrolled exchange of air between inside and outside, either infiltration or exfiltration, may lea...

Decarbonising our transport system: Vehicle use behaviour analysis to assess the potential of transitioning to electric mobility (2020)
Conference Proceeding

The transport sector is responsible for over 20% of the global carbon emissions. One of the strategies to reduce its impact includes transitioning to electric vehicles (EV). However, this represents several challenges to existing cities, such as the...

A practical review of alternatives to the steady pressurisation method for determining building airtightness (2020)
Journal Article

As an important indicator of construction quality and envelope integrity of buildings, airtightness is responsible for a considerable amount of energy losses associated with infiltration. It is crucial to understand building airtightness during const... Read More about A practical review of alternatives to the steady pressurisation method for determining building airtightness.

The vulnerability of homes to overheating in Myanmar today and in the future: A heat index analysis of measured and simulated data (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 The integration of vernacular strategies in Myanmar housing seems to have remained remarkably resilient and is still the norm even in modern dwellings. However, no regard is given to the possible impact of climate change. Using one-year monito...

A review of traditional multistage roofs design and performance in vernacular buildings in Myanmar (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Elsevier Ltd Myanmar's territory mostly experiences tropical monsoon climate, where temperatures are normally not extreme, but humidity can increase discomfort. In response, vernacular architecture strategies have evolved to deal with excess h...

Occupant action patterns regarding spatial and human factors in office environments (2020)
Journal Article

Since occupant behaviour impacts the energy performance of buildings, its study is relevant in order to bridge the performance gap. While the factors influencing occupant behaviour have been established, most studies have focused on those factors tha...
