In a global effort to reduce carbon emissions from the building sector, reliable on-site
thermal intrinsic performance measurements could positively contribute to reducing the …

The energy consumption of buildings is usually different from that predicted at the design
stage. To measure the performance gap between designed and as-built buildings, it is …

In order to bridge the building energy performance gap it is necessary to quantitatively and
qualitatively characterize the actual energy demand of buildings and the thermal behaviour …

The discrepancy between designed and as-built building performance can be quantified by
a heat transfer coefficient (HTC) measurement. A reference method for measuring this …

At the current state, the majority of residential buildings are underperforming in terms of
energy. To assess the current state of the building sector and bridge the gap between the …

Accurately measuring the actual building performance would be a significant step toward
performance contracting. Methods under occupancy have operational advantages but come …

Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are critical in reducing carbon emissions, particularly in
extreme cold climates like Canada. However, less than 10% of residential buildings in …

The predicted or designed envelope's energy performance often differs from the in-reality
achieved one and this phenomenon, known as the building fabric performance gap, is …

Abstract Assessing the Heat Transfer Coefficient (HTC) of a building's envelope during
occupancy offers operational advantages, as it does not need to be kept vacant for the …
