Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bros Williamson, J., Stinson, J., Garnier, C., & Currie, J. (2017). Discrepancies between theoretical and actual heating demand in Scottish modern dwellings. In PLEA 2017 Proceedings - Design to Thrive (361-368)

The study reports on the differences between the actual heat consumption profiles of twelve dwellings monitored for four years and their predicted heat demand profiles as calculated by the UK Government’s Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP). This mon... Read More about Discrepancies between theoretical and actual heating demand in Scottish modern dwellings.

Energy Behaviour Change by Coloured In-Home Display (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stinson, J., Reid, A., Bros-Williamson, J., & Currie, J. (2016). Energy Behaviour Change by Coloured In-Home Display. In 41st IAHS WORLD CONGRESS: Conference Proceedings

It is estimated that by 2020 some 53 million, next-generation gas and electricity meters, commonly known as ‘smart meters’, will be installed in approximately 30 million homes and small businesses across the UK. A significant feature of the smart met... Read More about Energy Behaviour Change by Coloured In-Home Display.

Innovative refurbishment strategies for poorly performing housing stock in Scotland, UK (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bros-Williamson, J., Stinson, J., Reid, A., & Gravrand, D. (2016). Innovative refurbishment strategies for poorly performing housing stock in Scotland, UK. In 41st IAHS WORLD CONGRESS Conference Proceedings

Scotland is currently increasing its housing stock at a rate of less than 1% per year. With 174,000 households registered on local authority waiting lists for new or improved housing, the energy-efficient retrofit of derelict and dilapidated housing...

Bridging the Building Performance Gap (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Currie, J., & Stinson, J. (2016, August). Bridging the Building Performance Gap. Presented at The Energy Agency and Ayrshire Housing CPD event

Ayrshire Housing, in collaboration with the Scottish Energy Centre (SEC) at Edinburgh Napier University, have worked over the last 4 years to define the practicality of integrating energy efficient retrofit measures into a portfolio of hard-to-treat...

Conservation of a historic building through sympathetic thermal enhancement. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stinson, J., Bros Williamson, J., Reid, A., & Currie, J. (2015, July). Conservation of a historic building through sympathetic thermal enhancement. Presented at STREMAH 2015

This paper documents research undertaken by the Scottish Energy Centre at Edinburgh Napier University to refurbish a historic library building by means of thermal improvements. The interventions selected were specifically chosen to minimalise any imp... Read More about Conservation of a historic building through sympathetic thermal enhancement..

The thermal retrofitting of walls windows and ceilings in traditional Scottish buildings. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stinson, J., Bros Williamson, J., Reid, A., & Currie, J. (2015, September). The thermal retrofitting of walls windows and ceilings in traditional Scottish buildings. Presented at 6th International Conference on Energy and Sustainability

This paper documents research undertaken to evaluate the thermal transmittance of building elements – walls, windows and ceilings – both before and after the addition of insulation in traditionally constructed Scottish buildings. Thirteen different t... Read More about The thermal retrofitting of walls windows and ceilings in traditional Scottish buildings..

Visualising Energy Use for Smart Homes and Informed Users (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stinson, J., Willis, A., Williamson, J. B., Currie, J., & Smith, R. (2015, June). Visualising Energy Use for Smart Homes and Informed Users. Presented at 6th International Building Physics Conference, IBPC 2015, Torino, Italy

We evaluate the changes to domestic electricity and gas consumption when the occupants have local access to a coloured real time in-home display (IHD). We report the preliminary six months findings of a three year research project involving 52 new bu... Read More about Visualising Energy Use for Smart Homes and Informed Users.

Energy performance evaluation of a passive house built to Scottish building standards. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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..
