Investigation of stakeholder perspectives and mobile app potential to mainstream CE strategies in single family housing sector
Modelling site-specific outdoor temperature for buildings in urban environments
Building performance simulations often rely on standardised meteorological datasets, which may not accurately reflect urban microclimates. This study highlights the complexity of temperature dynamics near buildings influenced by multiple factors. A static correction factor is unfeasible for adjusting meteorological data from suburban stations to city centres. To address this, air temperature variability in different urban locations was analysed u…
Understanding shading through home-use experience, measurement and modelling
Insufficient application of the socio-technical influences on residential energy ‘optimisation’ exacerbates the energy performance gap. This is evident in the modelling of energy and thermal performance. Shading control has the potential to optimise energy demand. This research explores inhabitants’ shading practices across the seasons in occupied low-energy homes. It identifies, describes and quantifies the contextual drivers that underpin indiv…

Adding Balconies to Historical Tenements – Local Approaches to the Retention of Heritage Value in Poland, Germany, and Denmark
Approximately 22% of the existing dwellings in the EU were built before 1946. In Wrocław, Poland ca. 21% of all dwellings in multifamily houses are protected for their heritage value. For such a significant share of the residential building stock pursuit of sustainability through amenity improvement is inevitable and will gain pace with the EU endorsed Renovation Wave. The discourse about the scope of renovations should be extended to consider an…
The use of apartment balconies
The role of a balcony is well recognised in the history of urban living. If designed carefully, balconies fit certain spatial and normative contexts and respond to residents’ needs. This study examines how balconies are used and what variables influence the variety and intensity of their usage. A non-participatory observation of 3000 balconies in Wrocław, Poland, was followed by interviews with relevant stakeholders. Key questions were: How do pe…
Climate justice
Of all the European Union’s member states, Poland has the most acute ambient air pollution problem. An urgent transition from solid-fuel heating ( e.g. coal and wood) in the housing sector is required to improve air quality in the country. National regulations still allow the sale of solid fuels for heating, but some municipalities impose local resolutions with binding deadlines for solid-fuel bans. A real-world study covering 422 apartments in h…
Exploring the Efficacy of Facebook Groups for Collective Occupant Learning About Using Their Homes
Using Facebook Groups to connect otherwise anonymous people that live in a single urban development is a relatively new phenomenon. Within residential developments, there are a number of common comfort, management, and performance issues experienced by many isolated inhabitants that are identified through building performance evaluation studies. Facebook is a ubiquitous social network tool and powerful communication platform, particularly popular…
