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
Sousa, G., Jones, B. M., Mirzaei, P. A., & Robinson, D. (2018). An open-source simulation platform to support the formulation of housing stock decarbonisation strategies. Energy and Buildings, 172, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2018.05.015

Housing Stock Energy Models (HSEMs) play a determinant role in the study of strategies to decarbonise the UK housing stock. Over the past three decades, a range of national HSEMs have been developed and deployed to estimate the energy demand of the 2...
