Application of a staged automated calibration methodology to a partially-retrofitted university building energy model
Zuhaib, Sheikh; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Goggins, Jamie (Elsevier, 2019-07-10)Deep-retrofit planning for existing buildings demands high accuracy in energy modelling prediction that minimises the gap between actual and simulated scenarios. A large set of interacting variables and uncertainties in ... -
Attitudes and approaches of Irish retrofit industry professionals towards achieving nearly zero-energy buildings
Zuhaib, Sheikh; Manton, Richard; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Keane, Marcus M.; Goggins, Jamie (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
Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Goggins, Jamie; de la Torre, Oscar; Holleran, Dave; Keane, Marcus M. (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 ... -
Calibrated CFD simulation to evaluate thermal comfort in a highly-glazed naturally ventilated room
Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Geron, Marco; Keane, Marcus M. (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 ... -
Formal calibration methodology for CFD models of naturally ventilated indoor environments
Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Geron, Marco; Keane, Marcus M. (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. ... -
An Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) assessment of a partially-retrofitted university building
Zuhaib, Sheikh; Manton, Richard; Griffin, Corey; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Keane, Marcus M.; Goggins, Jamie (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 ... -
Lifecycle environmental and economic performance of nearly zero energy buildings (NZEB) in Ireland
Goggins, Jamie; Moran, Paul; Armstrong, Alan; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena (Elsevier, 2016-01-16)Directives in the European Union are ensuring that buildings in this region are moving towards nearly zero energy buildings (NZEB). For countries like Ireland, which has a temperate oceanic climate, a key to achieving NZEB ... -
A novel BIM-based process workflow for building retrofit
D'Angelo, Letizia; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Seri, Federico; Keane, Marcus M. (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 ... -
A novel reduced order model technology framework to support the estimation of the energy savings in building retrofits
Piccinini, Alessandro; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Keane, Marcus M. (Elsevier, 2021-03-13)Energy Performance Contracting (EPC), as a tool to enhance energy efficiency of buildings, can accelerate investment in cost-effective energy conservation measures (ECMs) for existing buildings. However, there are many ... -
Real-time monitoring framework to investigate the environmental and structural performance of buildings
Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Byrne, David; Keane, Marcus M.; Goggins, Jamie (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, ... -
Real-time monitoring to investigate structural performance of hybrid precast concrete educational buildings
Newell, Shane; Goggins, Jamie; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena (Taylor & Francis, 2016-11-22)The motivation and implementation of a real-time structural health monitoring strategy to determine the structural performance of a number of educational buildings recently constructed in Ireland is discussed in this paper. ... -
A review on building-integrated photovoltaic/thermal systems for green buildings
Şirin, Ceylin; Goggins, Jamie; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena (Elsevier, 2023-04-25)Space constraints in urban areas can make it difficult to utilise renewable energy resources, like solar energy systems. However, this limitation can be overcome by utilising building façades to produce energy. Up to 40% ... -
Super-insulate or use renewable technology? Life cycle cost, energy and global warming potential analysis of nearly zero energy buildings (NZEB) in a temperate oceanic climate
Moran, Paul; Goggins, Jamie; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena (Elsevier, 2017-01-13)There are numerous strategies available to design and construct a low energy or nearly zero energy building (NZEB). However, the design strategy for a building depends on a high number of factors including location, climate, ...
