Modelling Climate Change Adaptation Measures to Reduce Overheating Risk in Existing Dwellings
Overheating during hot summers is a major risk which will increase under climate change. Thermal dynamic modelling is used to compare the current overheating risk of typical residential properties in the UK with the future overheating risk for the middle decades of this century, i.e. the period 20402069. A wide range of passive and low-energy climate change adaptation measures which could be re...

متن کاملSummertime Impact of Climate Change on Multi-occupancy British Dwellings
Recent climate change projections estimate that the average summertime temperature in the southern part of Great Britain may increase by up to 5.4°C by the end of the century. The general consensus is that projected increases in temperature will render British dwellings vulnerable to summer overheating and by the middle of this century it may become difficult to maintain a comfortable indoor en...
متن کاملAn Integrated Adaptive Model for Overheating Risk Prediction
Based on results from a field survey campaign, this paper describes three new developments which have been integrated to provide for a comprehensive basis for the evaluation of overheating risk in offices. Firstly, a set of logistic regression equations have been derived to predict the probability of office occupants’ adaptation of personal and environmental characteristics. Secondly, empirical...
متن کاملThe Virtual Room Inhabitant
In this paper we describe a new way to improve the usability of complex hardware setups in Instrumented Environments (IEs). By introducing a virtual character, we facilitate intuitive interaction with our IE. The character is capable of freely moving along the walls of the room. In this way, it may offer situated assistance to users within the environment. We make use of a steerable projector a...
