The thermal performance of a slinky ground heat exchanger has been investigated using a validated transient 3D model for different trench separations, installation depths, soil properties, and daily operation hours. The effect of trench separation on... Read More about Numerical investigation into the thermal interference of slinky ground heat exchangers.

An innovative retrofit Motivation-Objective-Criteria (MOC) approach integrating homeowners’ engagement to unlocking low-energy retrofit in residential buildings (2022)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., Qu, K., Chen, X., Gan, G., & Riffat, S. (2022). An innovative retrofit Motivation-Objective-Criteria (MOC) approach integrating homeowners’ engagement to unlocking low-energy retrofit in residential buildings. Energy and Buildings, 259, Article 111834. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2022.111834

According to the EU Commission projection (2016/547/EU), the current average renovation rate is far below the expected rate of 3% to achieve carbon neutrality in building sectors by 2050. This is due to the fact that, during the building retrofit opt...
