Inkling recently co-authored a Zero Carbon Hub publication on assessing overheating in dwellings. This document describes the methodologies and tools currently available for the prediction of overheating risk in dwellings in England and Wales, and poses a challenge to improve on them. The key points highlighted in the report are: – The results obtained from modelling
Susie is vice-chair of the new CIBSE Resilient cities group. The groups first initiative has been to set up a blog stream giving voice to opinions across the industry on what it means to equip our cities for the late 20th and early 2st centuries. Susie has written the first post for the blog, setting
last month we travelled to Leeds to give a presentation to CIBSE Yorkshire entitled ‘What has Building Physics ever done for us?’. We had a marvellous time, and Simon Owen kindly created a Storify for the event. https://storify.com/CalibreSimon/what-has-building-physics-ever-done-for-us?utm_campaign=website&utm_source=email&utm_medium=email You can see our presentation (the first one we’ve done in Prezi) here: https://prezi.com/i5eoyhuoyul8/what-has-building-physics-ever-done-for-us/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy
Inkling have contributed to this report recently published by the Zero Carbon Hub. Why does overheating happen? How can the construction and energy efficiency sector prevent the issue getting worse? What can local and national governments do to support the housing sector? And why does it matter? The report can be downloaded here.
At Inkling both Susie and Claire made contributions to the organising of the CIBSE Technical Symposium 2015. We were keen to attend the two-day event event at UCL, and have taken this opportunity to write up and share our experience of it. Sergio Fox (Architecture without Engineers) opened the event with an interesting and entertaining
I’m quoted in this piece for the small business network on female entrepreneurs working in male-dominated industries: Diamond, who left her job to co-found the building physics firm Inkling says that she and her female business partner bring a more approachable, client-focused touch to their business: “Building physics is quite a nerdy part of engineering, which
Inkling are proud to support the Crash Cares campaign again this Christmas. We’ve given our Christmas card fund to Crash in return for this e-card. They can make better use of the cash building a better future for homeless men and women. http://www.crashcares.com/inkling-2/
Claire has written an article for the Oct 2014 CIBSE Journal on our experience of using TM54. http://portfolio.cpl.co.uk/CIBSE/201410/energy-performance-tm54-review/ CIBSE TM54: Evaluating Operational Energy Performance of Buildings at the Design Stage (2013) was designed to close the performance gap by enabling more accurate modelling of building performance, but how effective is it in the field?
Isabel has been working with Sarah Wigglesworth Architects on an entry for the Land Art Generator competition. This is the third year of the competition which invites interdisciplinary teams from around the world to submit their ideas for public art that provides utility-scale clean energy to the grid. This year the competition site is in
