Assessment of water quality using Water Quality Index (WQI) models and advanced geostatistical technique
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2020-08-27)
Water quality index (WQI) models are popular tools to evaluate the quality of water; as such they have been
developed and used by many agencies worldwide. However, the WQI model may generate excessive uncertainties in ...
Key considerations in the design of a one-stop-shop retrofit model
(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 ...
Can DEAP help us to predict the energy demand and indoor temperature of homes before and after renovation ? A case study from Dublin
(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 ...
