The practical optimisation of complex architectural forms
The energy consumption of a building and its internal conditions are intimately related to its shape. There have been various attempts to use computer-based optimisation within a thermal simulation environment to produce designs...

Using self-adaptive optimisation methods to perform sequential optimisation for low-energy building design
The use of software tools to aid building design, or to show compliance, is now commonplace. This has motivated investigations into the potential of optimisation algorithms, used in such software, to automatically optimise...

Lumped parameter models for building thermal modelling
There are many sophisticated building simulators capable of accurately modelling the thermal performance of buildings. Lumped Parameter Models (LPMs) are an alternative which, due to their shorter computational time, can be used...

Overheating in vulnerable and non-vulnerable households
As the 2003 European heatwave demonstrated, overheating in homes can cause wide-scale fatalities. With temperatures and heatwave frequency predicted to increase due to climate change, such events can be expected to become more...

High resolution mapping of overheating and mortality risk
Both the Paris heat wave of 2003 and recent high-resolution climate change predictions indicate a world where mortality from extreme weather events will increase. Most heat wave deaths occur in buildings, and are driven by the...

New optimisation methodology to uncover robust low energy designs that accounts for occupant behaviour or other unknowns
The use of software to aid in the design of buildings or to show compliance is now commonplace. This has led several authors to investigate the potential for using such software to automatically optimise a design, or to generate...

Effect of operating conditions on performance of domestic heating systems with heat pumps and fuel cell micro-cogeneration
The relative performances of six air source heat pumps (ASHP) and a solid oxide fuel cell micro-combined heat and power (SOFC-mCHP) unit are compared using a modelling approach. The emphasis is in indicating the effect of a wide...

An Analytical Heat Wave Definition Based on the Impact on Buildings and Occupants
Alongside a mean global rise in temperature, climate change predictions point to an increase in heat waves and an associated rise in heat-related mortality. This suggests a growing need to ensure buildings are resilient to such...
