This paper investigates the opportunities and barriers to business engagement in the UK domestic retrofit sector. There are approximately 28 million UK dwellings accounting for 30% of UK total energy consumption. Almost all of the existing housing st
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the predictors influencing operations on windows and external doors as well as their impact on IEQ, comfort and energy. The study was carried out in 31 naturally ventilated classrooms in eight primary s
