Quantifying the domestic building fabric ‘performance gap’ [PDF]
Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 2015 In the UK, there is mounting evidence that the measured in situ performance of the building fabric in new build dwellings can be greater than that predicted, resulting in a significant building fabric ‘performance gap’. This paper presents the coheating test results from 25 new build dwellings built to Part L1A 2006 or better.

Retrofit at scale: accelerating capabilities for domestic building stocks [PDF]
Buildings and Cities, 2021 Highlights Retrofitting domestic buildings is essential for meeting targets to mitigate the catastrophic impacts of our changing climate. Current rates of retrofitting are far lower than necessary for achieving global net zero climate targets. To date in privately owned homes, policymakers have largely relied on piecemeal activity and often short-lived

Sizing Combined Heat and Power Units and Domestic Building Energy Cost Optimisation
Energies, 2017 Many combined heat and power (CHP) units have been installed in domestic buildings to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy costs. However, inappropriate sizing of a CHP may actually increase energy costs and reduce energy efficiency.

Energy flexibility potential of domestic hot water systems in apartment buildings [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Domestic Hot Water (DHW) storage tanks are identified as a main source of flexible energy use in buildings. As a basis for energy management in apartment buildings, this paper describes the aggregated DHW use in a case building, and analyses the ...

Opposition diagrams for automorphisms of small spherical buildings [PDF]
, 2019 An automorphism $\theta$ of a spherical building $\Delta$ is called \textit{capped} if it satisfies the following property: if there exist both type $J_1$ and $J_2$ simplices of $\Delta$ mapped onto opposite simplices by $\theta$ then there exists a type
