Energy Efficiency Applications in Buildings presents an investigation into the energy use and measures to improve the energy efficiency of existing building stock in the UK. The aim of this research is to assess the domestic energy use of statistically representative residential buildings and their occupants’ thermal comfort by considering the significant impact of overheating risks on energy consumption and occupants’ well-being.

Divided into two volumes, the books present energy consumption and thermal comfort in the construction sector as a complex socio-technical problem that involves the analysis of an intrinsic interrelationship amongst dwellings, occupants, and the environment. Using case studies, the authors demonstrate the significance of improving energy efficiency on the impact on occupants during long-term heatwaves in the summer. Additionally, the volumes demonstrate how dynamic thermal energy simulation can be used as a learning laboratory for future trends in housing energy consumption reduction.

Volume 1: Theories, Methods, and Tools presents the background to the research and the assessment methods and tools adopted by the research team.

Volume 2: Performance Evaluation and Retrofitting Strategies describes the case studies and building performance and post-occupancy evaluations, before making strategic policy and retrofitting recommendations.

The research and roadmap presented in these volumes can be used as a guidance tool for building energy modelling and performance simulation, enabling architects, building engineers, and other practitioners to close the gap between the current understanding and the actual performance of existing building stocks.

Über Autor(innen)

Dr. Bertug Ozarisoy is a lecturer in Architecture at the College of Technology and Environment, London South Bank University, London, UK. His research focuses on understanding the theory between architecture and energy policy design in conjunction with exploring the impact of passive cooling systems on domestic energy use and households’ thermal comfort.

Dr. Hasim Altan is a Full Professor of Sustainable Design and Architectural Engineering in the Department of Architecture, College of Architecture and Design in Khobar, Saudi Arabia. He is a Chartered Architect (RIBA) and a Chartered Engineer (CIBSE) with over 20 years of academic and practice experience in the field of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) within the Built Environment across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa (MENA) regions.

Dr. Young Ki Kim obtained a BEng degree in School of Architecture in South Korea (1995 – 2002). He holds an MSc degree (2005) in Environmental Design and Engineering from the University College London (UCL). He finished his PhD degree at the University of Sheffield with the title of thesis Adapting the UK Housing to Climate Change: Energy Consumption and Overheating. He is currently working as an Assistant Professor at the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU), UAE, where his research is primarily focused on sustainable building development, environmental and climate response building design, building operation and management, health and wellbeing, and indoor environment quality (IEQ).

Dr. Wei Shi received his doctorate degree in Architecture and Sustainability at the University of East London in 2019. His research focuses on the soft landing of the roll-out of the government’s social housing refurbishment schemes and investigates the downside of it. Mixed research methodology was adopted in order to develop and present guidance and advice to the local authority, and to inform the success of similar schemes in the future.
