The existing residential building stock accounts for a substantial portion of worldwide energy
consumption and greenhouse emissions. Improvements to the thermal performance of …

One way to achieve carbon neutrality is by improving the energy performance of existing
buildings, which requires accurate measurements. In particular, accurate measurement of …

Heat energy loss in buildings occurs by two means, namely Fabric Heat Loss and
Ventilation Heat Loss. Loss occurs when energy flows out through building envelope from …

Purpose Accurate values for infiltration rate are important to reliably estimate heat losses
from buildings. Infiltration rate is rarely measured directly, and instead is usually estimated …

Buildings are responsible for about 40% of total energy consumption in the UK. Decisive
measures are taken to mitigate building-oriented energy consumption figures and …

In an attempt to eliminate the performance gap in buildings, recent studies have
demonstrated the value of on-site heat loss measurements. However, it is recognized that its …

The uptake of low-carbon domestic heating systems is a significant strategy towards global
targets of reducing greenhouse emissions and mitigating climate change. Pre-1900 hard-to …

As part of a wider study into the benefits and risks associated with internal wall insulation
(IWI) and thin internal wall insulation (TIWI), Leeds Beckett University undertook a series of …

Estimating the Heat Energy Loss is a key issue to understand energy efficiency in buildings.
However, it can be difficult to locate where heat losses occur in a large building. Infrared …

Executive Summary Leeds Beckett University has been commissioned by the Department
for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to undertake a literature review to identify …
