- This paper developed a novel overheating metric, allowing for the first time a robust and consistent data set to be developed for building designers to perform robust overheating risk analysis. The data is distributed and sold to architects and engineers via CIBSE (https://www.cibse.org/weatherdata) as well as forming the basis for CIBSE's TM59 with regard to the assessment of overheating in homes. The data is part of building regulations via the government's BB101 and BREEAM certification via BREEAM new construction 2018. This paper won the Napier Shaw Bronze medal. This work was funded as part of an EPSRC fellowship (EP/J002380/1).
