    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • Real-time control of occupants thermal comfort in buildings 

      Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; O'Connor, Padraig; O'Neill, Colin; Coakley, Daniel; Keane, Marcus M.; Clifford, Eoghan (International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2015-12-07)
      Providing satisfactory indoor environmental conditions, air quality and thermal comfort through adequate ventilation is crucial in maintaining safe, healthy and comfortable buildings. Since, heating, ventilation and air ...

    • Reduced order modelling of the thermal behaviour of an office space 

      Geron, M.; Monaghan, R. F. D.; Keane, Marcus M. (Infoscience EPFL Scientific Publications, 2013-09-04)
      Reduced Order Models (ROMs) have proven to be a valid and efficient approach to model the thermal behaviour of building zones. The main issues associated with the use of zonal/lumped models are how to (1) divide the domain ...
