Double- or Single-Skin Façades for Low-Carbon Office Refurbishments in the UK: A Comparative Case Study (2015)
Book Chapter
Pomponi, F., & Piroozfar, P. A. (2015). Double- or Single-Skin Façades for Low-Carbon Office Refurbishments in the UK: A Comparative Case Study. In A. Sayigh (Ed.), Renewable Energy in the Service of Mankind Vol I (379-389). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-17777-9_34

In the UK, 75% of non-domestic buildings will still exist in 2050, and the reduction of their emissions represents a major challenge for the UK government to meet the greenhouse gases (GHG) target. There is a growing tendency towards the use of doubl... Read More about Double- or Single-Skin Façades for Low-Carbon Office Refurbishments in the UK: A Comparative Case Study.

Façade refurbishment of existing office buildings: Do conventional energy-saving interventions always work? (2015)
Journal Article
Pomponi, F., Farr, E. R., Piroozfar, P., & Gates, J. R. (2015). Façade refurbishment of existing office buildings: Do conventional energy-saving interventions always work?. Journal of Building Engineering, 3, 135-143. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jobe.2015.07.003

Offices account for 40% of energy use in construction sector. Office building stock is already under-performing and dilapidating at a fast pace. With the current rate of replacing old building stock in the UK, it is expected that at least 60% of what...

Urban Heat Island (UHI) mitigating strategies: A case-based comparative analysis (2015)
Journal Article
O’Malley, C., Piroozfar, P., Farr, E. R. P., & Pomponi, F. (2015). Urban Heat Island (UHI) mitigating strategies: A case-based comparative analysis. Sustainable Cities and Society, 19, 222-235. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2015.05.009

Urbanisation may have been shown to have no effect on climate change, but some researchers suggest that cities are fully capable of responding to it. Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) represent dense urban areas within cities where the temperature is recorde...

Energy and comfort analysis of glazed double skin facades for refurbishments in temperate climates (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pomponi, F., Ip, K., Oxizidis, S., & Piroozfar, P. (2014). Energy and comfort analysis of glazed double skin facades for refurbishments in temperate climates.

Double skin facades (DSFs) are gaining momentum in Europe as a low-energy design technique for the refurbishments of office buildings due to their potential to act as a thermal buffer in winter and maximise the use of natural ventilation in...

A method to evaluate the life cycle environmental impacts of double skin facades in refurbishments (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pomponi, F., Ip, K., & Oxizidis, S. (2014). A method to evaluate the life cycle environmental impacts of double skin facades in refurbishments.

Refurbishment of existing buildings represents a major challenge for the UK Government to meet the greenhouse gases (GHG) target. Double Skin Façades are one possible solution for low-carbon façade retrofit of existing non-domestic buildings. Availab...
