Indoor Air Quality Assessment of Latin America’s First Passivhaus Home
Atmosphere, 2021 Sustainable building design, such as the Passivhaus standard, seeks to minimise energy consumption, while improving indoor environmental comfort. Very few studies have studied the indoor air quality (IAQ) in Passivhaus homes outside of Europe. This paper

Comparative Analysis of Overheating Risk for Typical Dwellings and Passivhaus in the UK
Energies, 2022 There is growing concern that airtight and well-insulated buildings designed to limit heat loss in temperate and cold climates could unintentionally elevate the risk of overheating in summers.

Perceived Comfort and Adaptive Process of Passivhaus ‘Participants’
Energy Procedia, 2015 AbstractPassivhaus methodology leads to buildings with very high thermal efficiency and high levels of airtightness. The focus of research in Passivhaus is energy performance. The experience of occupying a Passivhaus is often overlooked. This research takes into account social factors of comfort among Passivhaus ‘participants’; draws comparison between

Overheating assessment in Passivhaus dwellings: the influence of prediction tools
Buildings & Cities, 2022 Thermal comfort during the summer in the Passivhaus concept relies mainly on natural ventilation to provide indoor cooling. Do airflow modeling tools accurately predict overheating in summer and for anticipated warmer climates?

Business Strategy &Development, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 75-94, March 2023., 2023 Abstract To foster sustainable development, transition to circular economy should happen globally. Lately, however, the implementation of circular solutions has been particularly slow in the developing countries where these solutions could bring about particularly positive changes.

Future proofing a building design using history matching inspired level‐set techniques
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C (Applied Statistics), Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 335-350, March 2021., 2021 Abstract How can one design a building that will be sufficiently protected against overheating and sufficiently energy efficient, whilst considering the expected increases in temperature due to climate change? We successfully manage to address this question—greatly reducing a large set of initial candidate building designs down to a small set of ...

Buildings, 2023 The ongoing climate change and policies around it are changing how we design and build homes to meet national carbon emission targets. Some countries such as Scotland are adopting higher-energy-efficient buildings as minimum requirements in the building ...
