Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description - Building performance simulation is a valuable tool to assess the actual versus predicted energy demands in buildings
-The contribution of renewables and how it is visualized, rather than just presenting numerical data to building users, has an impact on improving perceptions and acceptance for these technologies
Exploitation Route _The publications and engagement activities carry on presenting research outcomes form this project that are useful to lay people thinking of adopting renewable energy and to researchers attempting to improve its efficacy
Sectors Energy
 
Description The research methodology and findings helped us take these experiences to work with Newcastle City council on another project and submitting to the Newton Mesharafa Fund with AHRC to incorporate our understandings of user behaviours on sustainable buildings design targets. The research methodology helped us produce further studies to understand energy demand in different sectors such as schools and retail in international contexts such as Ecuador and Taiwan
