Comparative Analysis of Overheating Risk for Typical Dwellings and Passivhaus in the UK

Jihoon Jang et al.

Summary: There is a growing concern that airtight and well-insulated buildings in temperate and cold climates could increase the risk of overheating in summers. However, a meta-analysis of indoor air temperature data for 195 UK dwellings found that the risk of whole-dwelling overheating is low, but bedrooms in highly insulated dwellings may pose an overheating risk.

Recent Techniques Used in Home Energy Management Systems: A Review

Isaias Gomes et al.

Summary: Power systems are transitioning as consumers seek more active participation in electric system management. Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) have emerged as a solution, allowing prosumers to optimize their energy management. This paper presents a comprehensive systematic review of recent optimization techniques used in HEMS development, categorizing them into four broad categories.

Do high energy-efficient buildings increase overheating risk in cold climates? Causes and mitigation measures required under recent and future climates

Fuad Mutasim Baba et al.

Summary: Contradictory findings exist regarding the overheating risks of high energy-efficient buildings compared to old buildings. A methodology is developed to assess the contribution and correlation of individual building envelope parameters to indoor temperature change. The results show that high energy-efficient buildings can be more resilient to climate change if adequate ventilation is provided. However, without sufficient ventilation, these buildings may have higher overheating risks. Additionally, natural ventilation is currently effective in reducing overheating risks, but additional shading measures will be required in the future.

Transformational innovation in home energy: How developers imagine and engage with future residents of low carbon homes in the United Kingdom

Fiona Shirani et al.

Summary: This paper explores the motivations for developing Active Homes and examines how residents reside in and interact with these homes through qualitative interviews with stakeholders. The study highlights a potential conflict between prioritizing residents' needs and minimizing user engagement with technology. The findings emphasize the importance of ongoing engagement with residents to inform the successful rollout of Active Homes.

Impact of Time-Use Behaviour on Residential Energy Consumption in the United Kingdom

Mate Janos Lorincz et al.

Summary: This study found that full-time employees have a higher potential to reduce energy consumption compared to part-time workers, and the impact of work time on energy consumption for respondents varies non-linearly. Time-use data can provide useful insights for evaluating and possibly designing energy and labor market policies.

Cold comfort: Covid-19, lockdown and the coping strategies of fuel poor households

Aimee Ambrose et al.

Summary: The number of households experiencing fuel poverty in the UK has increased by at least 600,000 due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Fuel poor households, living in poor quality, energy inefficient accommodation, are particularly affected by the retreat into the home brought about by lockdowns. Additional consequences for fuel poor households include restricted access to third spaces and disruptions to their usual coping strategies. It is crucial for policy makers to prioritize upgrading housing energy performance, addressing financial hardship, and ensuring access to third spaces and high-quality public spaces during restrictions.

The Role of Occupants in Buildings' Energy Performance Gap: Myth or Reality?

Ardeshir Mahdavi et al.

Summary: The expected energy use of buildings often differs from actual observations, a phenomenon known as the energy performance gap. While various factors can contribute to this gap, there is ongoing debate about the extent to which occupants play a significant role. Current evidence does not sufficiently support the claim that occupants are the main cause of the energy performance gap.

'The problem-centred expert interview'. Combining qualitative interviewing approaches for investigating implicit expert knowledge

Stefanie Doeringer

Summary: Expert interviews are commonly used to gather information on a specific field, but this paper introduces the 'problem-centred expert interview' as a method to delve deeper into individual perspectives that impact social practices. By combining theory-generating expert interviews and problem-centred interviews, researchers can effectively reveal implicit expert knowledge and understand the inner logic of decision-making processes.
