- Additional information
- This research investigates building energy performance, occupants’ thermal comfort and associated energy use behaviours in partnership with the London Borough of Newham following reports of high energy bills and physical issues (damp, mould, condensation). Survey questionnaires coupled with indoor environmental monitoring (data loggers) assessed energy performance, occupants’ thermal comfort, and their energy consumption behaviour. Building simulation modelling provided in-depth understanding of the building energy performance and energy efficient / cost-effective retrofit strategies. The outcome of the project is a comprehensive diagnosis of building performance issues leading to tailored recommendations for the council to implement efficient energy retrofit solutions across Newham.
