nZEB-RETROFIT

Achieving nearly zero-energy buildings

SOCIO-TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS

BUILDING ENVELOPE INNOVATIONS

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING

Development of socio-technical innovations and action plans for sustainable buildings

Validation of building envelope innovations through real-time measurements, CFD analysis and whole building simulation.

Development of standards driven systematic approach in BIM to retrofitting.

THE GOAL

The overall goal is to examine the effectiveness of innovative building structural elements and systems, regarding their structural, environmental and energy performance in retrofitting existing buildings. This will be done with the aim of facilitating the emergence of products and tools for the development of high performance retrofitted buildings in respect of sustainable development, in terms of design, consumption, building methods, materials, energy efficiency, costs and user comfort.

ABOUT US

We are a team of researchers committed to realising the goal of energy efficient buildings through a combination of:

  • Simulation (CFD, whole building and reduced order modelling);

  • Building Information Modelling (IFC BIM);

  • Systems integration and optimisation;

  • Improved instrumentation in buildings;

  • Stakeholder-driven visualisation of performance data.
