Geothermal heat pump systems have a large potential for energy savings and associated greenhouse gas emissions. However, inappropriate control may counteract these saving potentials.

This paper investigates the accuracy of CFD simulation in predicting the nature of multiple plume interactions in a naturally ventilated indoor environment.

Measurement science is vital in evaluating environmental impacts to assess sustainability.

Integrated cavity-wall systems are typically designed to shade the exterior of buildings.  They can also eradicate daytime heat absorption by thermal convection.

The case study described in this paper illustrates the role building simulation can play in evaluating refurbishment options that reduce the carbon footprint of existing airport terminals.

A simplified model of a primary HVAC system comprising an on-off boiler, thermal storage and solar thermal collectors is simulated in hourly resolution.

A holistic strategy to significantly reduce carbon emissions in the residential housing sector will involve the design and delivery of new houses with low or zero emissions.
