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 ... -
A novel ROM methodology to support the estimation of the energy savings under the Measurement and Verification protocol
Piccinini, Alessandro; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; D'Angelo, Letizia; Blanes, Luis M.; Keane, Marcus M. (National University of Ireland Galway, 2020-09-21)This paper presents a novel Reduced Order grey box Model (ROM) methodology, based on a ResistorCapacitor (RC) network, which supports the creation of the baseline energy consumption and the estimation of energy savings ... -
Recovered wood as raw material for structural timber products. Characteristics, situation and study cases: Ireland and Spain
Llana, Daniel F.; Íñiguez-González, Guillermo; de Arana-Fernández, Marina; Uí Chúláin, Caitríona; Harte, Annette M. (International Society of Wood Science and Technology (SWST), 2020-07-12)The circular economy is an efficient system to reuse materials reducing the amount of waste generated. In order to implement it in the timber sector, the InFutUReWood (Innovative Design for the Future Use and Reuse of ...
