Characterising Space Use and Electricity Consumption in Non-domestic Buildings
… energy consumption and the effects of incidental internal gains resulting from its operation. Knowledge of how and where consumption and internal gains occur in buildings is important in understanding the consumption characteristics of the building stock. The overall aim of this research was to …

Passive solar for urban tenement housing : case study and retrofit design for West-Berlin
… walls and windows create actual heat losses, and internal gains act as beneficial heat sources which lower the demand for space heat. With increased use of solar energy, the usual 8.5 month heating period could be substantially shortened. Calculations included in this work show the potential for …

Mixed-Mode Cooling Design for Office Buildings in Arid Climates
… for the prototypical design with different internal gains in the four representative arid cities. Performance evaluation criteria and control algorithms appropriate for mixed-mode systems have been applied. The simulation results were evaluated in terms of thermal comfort and indoor air …

An occupant-centric assessment of the building performance gap in low utilisation, higher education facilities
… heating energy demand is dependent on latent gains to the extent that when heating schedules are decoupled from presence as per the real world, retrofitting lighting will have an adverse effect on building energy performance. The results proceed to explore the underlying relationship between …
