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.

Assessing uncertainty in housing stock infiltration rates andassociated heat loss: English and UK case studies (2015)
Journal Article
Jones, B., Das, P., Chalabi, Z., Davies, M., Hamilton, I., Lowe, R., Mavrogianni, A., Robinson, D., & Taylor, J. (2015). Assessing uncertainty in housing stock infiltration rates andassociated heat loss: English and UK case studies. Building and Environment, 92, 644-656. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2015.05.033

Strategies to reduce domestic heating loads by minimizing the infiltration of cold air through adventitious openings located in the thermal envelopes of houses are highlighted by the building codes of many countries. Consequent reductions of energy d... Read More about Assessing uncertainty in housing stock infiltration rates andassociated heat loss: English and UK case studies.

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., Das, P., & 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.
