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.

Affordable, Energy-Efficient Housing Design for Chile: Achieving Passivhaus Standard with the Chilean State Housing Subsidy [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2020 In Chile, it is estimated that the energy demand will continue to increase if substantial energy efficiency measures in housing are not taken. These measures are generally associated with technical and mainly economic difficulties.

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 ...

Domestic Energy Efficiency Scenarios for Northern Ireland
Energies, 2022 Building fabric retrofitting is an important first step in improving building energy efficiency. The United Kingdom’s (UK) housing stock is one of the most inefficient in Europe, and Northern Ireland has the second-highest level of fuel poverty in the UK.
