Net zero housing retrofits - assuring a sustainable low-carbon transition in the domestic sector

University of Reading School of the Built Environment

The UK has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The UK's 29 million houses represent 14% of total emissions (CCC, 2019), with nearly 90% of these built more than 20 years ago before stricter energy efficiency standards came into force (Ince & Marvin, 2019). Read more

Impacts of oversizing on the performance of energy and environmental systems

University of Reading School of the Built Environment

Heating, cooling, and ventilation systems in buildings are often sized at capacities exceeding the demand for these services. This can result in inefficient operation, higher initial and operational costs, and larger environmental impacts. Read more

Application of predictive control to fast systems

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering

Predictive control is relatively unwieldy and therefore does not lend itself to applications requiring fast sample rates. However many recent developments have looked at how the algorithm can be implemented both more efficiently in time and with relatively simple coding requirements. Read more
