Shortcomings and Suggestions to the EPC Recommendation List of Measures: In-Depth Interviews in Six Countries
(Energies;Volume 11, Issue 10, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-21)Dwellings built between 1945 and 1980 have the largest energy demand in the EU, which by 2009 represented 70% of the final energy use in buildings. A great portion of these dwellings have not been retrofitted and most of ... -
Should we differentiate ventilation requirements for different user groups?
(Springer Proceedings in Energy;Cold Climate HVAC 2018 - Sustainable Buildings in Cold Climates, Conference object, 2018-12-12)The aim of our study is to investigate whether it is necessary to adjust the venti-lation requirements according to different user groups. This study is focusing es-pecially on teenagers, who might have a higher odour load ... -
Simple Tool to Evaluate Airtightness in Chilean Homes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Given the high impact that air leaks have on buildings' energy expenses, most developed countries have set out norms which regulate their presence in homes. Chile will soon begin this process; however, the airtightness ... -
