Chile is a South American country experiencing greater social and economic development than the majority of its neighbours and whose economy is transitioning from developing to developed status. It is committed to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emis... Read More about A data analysis of the Chilean housing stock and the development of modelling archetypes.

Setting the standard: The acceptability of kitchen ventilation for the English housing stock (2019)
Journal Article
O'Leary, C., Jones, B., Dimitroulopoulou, S., & Hall, I. P. (2019). Setting the standard: The acceptability of kitchen ventilation for the English housing stock. Building and Environment, 166, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2019.106417

Exposure to particulate matter with diameter ?2.5??m (PM2.5) is associated with an elevated risk of adverse health effects and cooking is a primary source of PM2.5 in non-smoking households. Therefore, it is important to investigate PM2.5 concentrati... Read More about Setting the standard: The acceptability of kitchen ventilation for the English housing stock.

Development of a dynamic external CFD and BES coupling framework for application of urban neighbourhoods energy modelling (2018)
Journal Article
Zhang, R., Mirzaei, P. A., & Jones, B. (2018). Development of a dynamic external CFD and BES coupling framework for application of urban neighbourhoods energy modelling. Building and Environment, 146, 37-49. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2018.09.006

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Current building energy models are weak at representing the interactions between neighbourhoods of buildings in cities. The effect of a neighbourhood on the local microclimate is complex, varying from one building to another, mean...

Quantifying uncertainty in thermophysical properties of walls by means of Bayesian inversion (2018)
Journal Article
De Simon, L., Iglesias, M., Jones, B., & Wood, C. (2018). Quantifying uncertainty in thermophysical properties of walls by means of Bayesian inversion. Energy and Buildings, 177, 220-245. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2018.06.045

We introduce a computational framework to statistically infer thermophysical properties of any given wall from in-situ measurements of air temperature and surface heat fluxes. The proposed framework uses these measurements, within a Bayesian calibrat... Read More about Quantifying uncertainty in thermophysical properties of walls by means of Bayesian inversion.

An open-source simulation platform to support the formulation of housing stock decarbonisation strategies (2018)
Journal Article

A review and critique of UK housing stock energy models, modelling approaches and data sources (2017)
Journal Article
Sousa, G., Jones, B. M., Mirzaei, P. A., & Robinson, D. (2017). A review and critique of UK housing stock energy models, modelling approaches and data sources. Energy and Buildings, 151, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2017.06.043

The UK housing stock is responsible for some 27% of national energy demand and associated carbon dioxide emissions. 80% of this energy demand is due to heating (60%) and domestic hot water (20%), the former reflecting the poor average thermal integri...

A review of ventilation opening area terminology (2016)
Journal Article
Jones, B. M., Cook, M. J., Fitzgerald, S. D., & Iddon, C. R. (2016). A review of ventilation opening area terminology. Energy and Buildings, 118, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2016.02.053

The design of a natural ventilation strategy requires the establishment of the location and size of a series of purpose provided ventilation openings (PPOs). The success of the design is dependent on knowledge of the aerodynamic performance of the PP... Read More about A review of ventilation opening area terminology.

The relative importance of input weather data for indoor overheating risk assessment in dwellings (2014)
Journal Article
Taylor, J., Davies, M., Mavrogianni, A., Chalabi, Z., Biddulph, P., Oikonomou, E., …Jones, B. (2014). The relative importance of input weather data for indoor overheating risk assessment in dwellings. Building and Environment, 76, 81-91. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2014.03.010

The risk of overheating in UK dwellings is predicted to increase due to anthropogenic climate change and local urban climate modification leading to an increased urban heat island effect. Dwelling geometry characteristics such as orientation, aspect,... Read More about The relative importance of input weather data for indoor overheating risk assessment in dwellings.
