Achieving nearly zero-energy buildings - A lifecycle assessment approach to retrofitting buildings
Moran, Paul; Goggins, Jamie; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena (NUI Galway, 2015-04-23)It is now widely recognised in the academic and business worlds that energy efficiency in buildings provides significant environmental and economic opportunities, but also challenges. The building sector offers considerable ... -
Can DEAP help us to predict the energy demand and indoor temperature of homes before and after renovation ? A case study from Dublin
Moran, Paul; Goggins, Jamie (Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI) and Cork Institute of Technology, 2020-08-27)Improving the energy efficiency of buildings via retrofitting is seen as one of the key mitigation measures to reducing the energy demand and carbon emissions of the built environment in Ireland. However, while energy ... -
Community engaged learning: A building engineering case study
Goggins, Jamie; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena (Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2020-08-28)ABSTRACT: Community engaged learning is a form of experiential education with a civic underpinning. Community engaged learning is embedded with the civil engineering curriculum at NUI Galway and is framed by a research ... -
Key considerations in the design of a one-stop-shop retrofit model
McGinley, Orlaith; Moran, Paul; Goggins, Jamie (Civil Engineering Research Assiciation of Ireland (CERAI) and Cork Institute of Technology, 2020-08-27)The Irish Government’s Climate Action Plan emphasizes the need for increased retrofit activity within the built environment. As such, the plan has set targets for the completion of 500,000 energy efficient retrofits by ... -
Retrofit solutions for Irish building stock: The impact of human behaviour
Moran, Paul; Goggins, Jamie; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Rau, Henrike (NUI Galway, 2016)Retrofitting buildings is recognised as the most immediate, pressing, and cost effective mechanism to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in the building and construction sector. It is necessary to double or ... -
Understanding the complexities of building physics and human behaviour in achieving a nearly zero energy building
Moran, Paul; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Goggins, Jamie (NUI Galway, 2016-07-27)About 40% of the world’s energy consumption and approximately a third of greenhouse gas emissions are associated with buildings. As the percentage of new buildings relative to existing buildings is increasing at a rate ...
