- Additional information
- The research evaluates the building performance and overheating risks of a state-of-the-art residential prototypes built on the Building Research Establishment’s (BRE) Innovation Park, Watford. This novel design typology proved to be energy efficient but suffered from intense overheating in the summer. The ultimate research outcome is to significantly influence modern design and construction processes of new built residential prototypes that account for varying seasonal climatic conditions which have direct impact on energy consumption. The results have been accounted for at the BRE and influenced the design and construction of more recent experimental prototypes.
