Application of a staged automated calibration methodology to a partially-retrofitted university building energy model
(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
(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 ... -
A novel BIM-based process workflow for building retrofit
(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 review on building-integrated photovoltaic/thermal systems for green buildings
(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% ...
