Inkling awarded CIBSE Carter Bronze Medal for overheating research paper

Inkling have been awarded the prestigious CIBSE Carter Bronze medal for research into summertime overheating prediction in UK homes.

Claire and Susie worked alongside partners from Hilson Moran and Loughborough University to produce the joint research paper ‘Predictions of summertime overheating: Comparison of dynamic thermal models and measurements in synthetically occupied test houses’.

The research involved the comparison of real-world measurements with results produced using dynamic simulation models incorporating actual meteorological data.

The Carter Bronze Award is awarded annually by CIBSE to celebrate top quality research carried out in the building services industry.

Inkling are proud of this successful collaboration between industry and academia. Such collaborations are crucial in order to better understand the performance of building models and drive improvements in modelling practice.
