Thermal comfort is a complicatedsubjectand is thus hard to quantify generally and specificallyandthe existing quantification methods are unlikely to be reliable for naturally ventilated houses. The challenge for designers is to produce a com... Read More about Interpretation and determination of thermal comfort in climate change context.

Decision-making in the design of sustainable building envelopes will mostly consider the trade-off between initial cost and energy savings. However, this leads to an insufficiently holistic approach to the assessment of the sustainable performance of... Read More about Risk and Uncertainty in Sustainable Building Performance.
