Whole‐House Thermal Bridge Modelling for Accurate Retrofit Energy Prediction

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study models thermal bridging in a UK semi‐detached house across pre‐ and post‐retrofit scenarios using piecemeal and whole‐house approaches with EWI and IWI. Whole‐house retrofits reduce heat transfer coefficient by 60%; findings demonstrate that default values are often unrepresentative and advocate tailored Ψ value databases.

Development of an integrated digital design process for the façade design of the adaptive building D1244

Frontiers in Built Environment
Adaptive façades (AF) can reduce resource use and enable climate-responsive building envelopes. However, their development typically involves heterogeneous software environments that hinder interoperability and consistent information exchange. This paper

A Framework for Adaptive Façade Optimization Design Based on Building Envelope Performance Characteristics

Buildings
The adaptive façades serve as the interface between the indoor and outdoor energy of the building. Adaptive façade optimization design can improve daylighting performance, the thermal environment, view performance, and solar energy utilization efficiency,

What Future Lies Ahead for Circular Business Models Research?

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circular economy—wherein waste is designed out, materials are circulated and nature is regenerated—has reached global recognition. From policy to business circles, it is seen as a viable strategy to address multiple societal grand challenges—including climate change and depletion of finite natural resources—and build a more resilient ...

Second‐Life Thermoset Manufacturing via Mild Solvolysis of Epoxy‐Matrix Composites and Wet‐Laid Mat Production

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 19, Page 17222-17237, 10 October 2026.
From end‐of‐life pultruded CFRP profiles (1) to second life composites (7) through mild solvolysis (2,3), wet‐laid nonwoven mat fabrication (4), resin impregnation (5), and compression molding (6). ABSTRACT The growing use of carbon fiber–reinforced thermosets has led to the accumulation of significant composite waste, posing environmental and economic
