Research and expertise

Analysis of monitored building energy demand and empirical modelling of energy demand.

I have analysed monitored building energy demand to determine savings resulting from various technologies and the factors affecting these savings. I have also analysed heating patterns and the factors affecting these. I have modelling national GB domestic heat demand and heat pump electricity demand based on monitored data from field trials. I have developed a new approach to modelling domestic energy demand based on monitored data.

Current research activity

  • Working on paper based on the Active Buildings project
  • Analysis of compact hybrid heat pumps based on monitored boiler data.

Recently completed research projects

  • Analysis of EFUS temperature data in terms of overheating and “safe havens”
  • Analysis of gas savings from zonal heating controls
  • Working as Research Associate on the Active Buildings project
  • PhD on empirical modelling of additional electricity demand from domestic heat pumps.
