Formal calibration methodology for CFD models of naturally ventilated indoor environments
(Elsevier, 2012-08-31)
Well planned natural ventilation strategies and systems in the built environments may provide healthy and comfortable indoor conditions, while contributing to a significant reduction in the energy consumed by buildings. ...
Development of a Global Energy Management System for non-energy intensive multi-site industrial organisations: A methodology
(Elsevier, 2017-01-25)
For multi-site organisations, informed decision making on capital investment aimed at improving energy performance and cutting carbon emissions, across a global site base, is a complex problem. This work presents the ...
Real-time monitoring framework to investigate the environmental and structural performance of buildings
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-12-20)
Energy provides safety, comfort and mobility to people, and is essential for industrial, commercial and societal growth. However, generation and consumption of energy give rise of greenhouse gases and various air pollutants, ...
Calibrated CFD simulation to evaluate thermal comfort in a highly-glazed naturally ventilated room
(Elsevier, 2013-08-30)
Natural ventilation is a sustainable solution to maintaining healthy and comfortable environmental conditions in buildings. However, the effective design, construction and operation of naturally ventilated buildings require ...
Defining corporate energy policy and strategy to achieve carbon Emissions reduction Targets via energy MANAGEMENT in non-energy intensive multi-site manufacturing organisations
(Elsevier, 2018-03-14)
Research on the characteristics of long-term energy policy and associated strategies in multisite
manufacturing organisations is limited. Non-energy intensive multinationals do not face
the environmental regulations ...
An energy management maturity model for multi-site industrial organisations with a global presence
(Elsevier, 2017-07-27)
Literature reviewed suggests energy maturity models are in their infancy in the energy management sector, with little practical guidance for their implementation in multi-site organisations. In addressing this gap, this ...
An Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) assessment of a partially-retrofitted university building
(Elsevier, 2018-05-07)
Achieving standards-based Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in existing buildings is growing steadily due to the strong demand for deep retrofits in Europe. Existing non-domestic buildings pose challenges mainly due to ...
Attitudes and approaches of Irish retrofit industry professionals towards achieving nearly zero-energy buildings
(Emerald, 2017-04-10)
Abstract
Purpose
There is profound demand for higher skills and expertise in retrofitting the existing building stock of Europe. The delivery of low- or nearly zero-energy retrofits is highly dependent on technical ...
An automated standard-based life cycle quality inspection methodology for smart precast concrete solutions in buildings
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-07-29)
Built2Spec research project brought together a new and breakthrough set of tools in order to improve construction quality inspection processes. These can be put into the hands of construction stakeholders to help meet ...
A novel BIM-based process workflow for building retrofit
(Elsevier, 2022-02-06)
The European Union (EU) has developed policies aimed at accelerating the retrofit of existing buildings, with the vision of a decarbonised building stock by 2050. Retrofitting of existing buildings offers significant ...
