In-situ monitoring of thermal refurbishment on pre-1919 properties in Scotland (2014)
Journal Article
Bros Williamson, J., Stinson, J., Garnier, C., & Currie, J. (2014). In-situ monitoring of thermal refurbishment on pre-1919 properties in Scotland. International Journal of Sustainable Construction, 2(1), 77-84. https://doi.org/10.14575/gl/ijsc/02-01/003

This work analyses the use of in-situ monitoring techniques to establish the building performance of pre-1919 traditionally constructed buildings and evaluate different thermal refurbishment strategies using component U-values as a recognised indic...

Energy performance evaluation of a passive house built to Scottish building standards. (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Bros Williamson, J., Stinson, J., & Currie, J. (2014). Energy performance evaluation of a passive house built to Scottish building standards.

Ensuring that predicted (simulated) energy performance figures are realised once a building is in-use has been of growing concern since issues surrounding the ‘performance gap’ were realised in the mid 1990’s [1]. Increasing energy demand and a decre... Read More about Energy performance evaluation of a passive house built to Scottish building standards..

New thin aerogel based high performance internal wall insulation for existing solid wall buildings. (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Carty, L., Garnier, C., Bros Williamson, J., & Currie, J. (2014). New thin aerogel based high performance internal wall insulation for existing solid wall buildings. In R. Amoêda, S. Lira, & C. Pinheiro (Eds.), Rehab 2014

Applications of nanotechnology in the form of high performing aerogel insulation are now widely used from space exploration to the oil and gas industry and in more recent years in the construction industry. Previous research has shown the merits of t... Read More about New thin aerogel based high performance internal wall insulation for existing solid wall buildings..

Thermal assessment of internal shutters and window film applied to traditional single glazed sash and case windows (2014)
Report
Currie, J., Bros Williamson, J., Stinson, J., & Jonnard, M. (2014). Thermal assessment of internal shutters and window film applied to traditional single glazed sash and case windows. Scotland: National Trust of Scotland, Historic Scotland

This report describes the work conducted by the Scottish Energy Centre (SEC) at Edinburgh Napier University for the National Trust of Scotland, measuring the thermal transmittance (U-value), for two types of glazing insulation: shutters and film. The... Read More about Thermal assessment of internal shutters and window film applied to traditional single glazed sash and case windows.
