Turbulent flow physics regulates the aerodynamic properties of lifting surfaces, the
thermodynamic efficiency of vapor power systems, and exchanges of natural and …

Government, local authority and industry initiatives to improve the energy efficiency of
housing stocks are central to national and international commitments to reduce carbon …

Urban-scale energy modelling provides an ideal tool for studying non-domestic energy
consumption and emissions reduction at the community level. In principle, an approach …

Summertime temperatures in UK homes are a matter of increasing concern, particularly
because of global warming and an increased incidence of heat waves. Refurbishment adds …

This paper presents an analysis of internal air temperatures measured hourly in the living
rooms of 230 domestic buildings in the city of Leicester, UK. Time series analysis is used to …

Overheating risk in dwellings is often predicted using modelling techniques based on
assumptions of heat gains, heat losses and heat storage. However, a simpler method is to …

Planning energy infrastructure at local level is the key to addressing some of the most
difficult challenges in climate change and energy policy planning (ie fuel poverty) and to …
