Susie: 07972 263 676Acoustics vs overheating risk – resolving the tension
Best practice members met on 17th January 2018 to discuss the conundrum of balancing the need to mitigate overheating risk in homes with the competing requirement to maintain a comfortable internal acoustic environment. Bluntly – opening windows to cool an apartment risks increasing the external noise audible inside to unsatisfactory levels. Poor external air quality will also […]

BB101 – what’s happening?
We wanted to do some digging to understand what’s happening with the new version of BB101 and what impact it may have on modelling for schools. We thought we’d share what we found in case it is useful to others in the modelling community. Please share and let us know if you have any experience […]

Inkling and TM59
Inkling are very proud to have been involved in the writing of the new CIBSE TM59 Design methodology for the assessment of overheating risk in homes. Susie was part of the team right from the beginning, participating in the early Zero Carbon Hub workshops and collaborating all the way through to publication with CIBSE, UCL, Arup […]

Inkling at CIBSE Conference 2016
Susie attended this years CIBSE conference on behalf of Inkling. It was a good conference with key themes of well-being and data management. Here is the Storify which links all Susie’s tweets from the two days: https://storify.com/InklingLLP/cibse-conference-2016 moved to: https://wakelet.com/wake/350c08bf-d5b6-4198-8a09-fd7c472630eb

What’s with the weather?
We have been taking a look at the new weather files that CIBSE have put out to replace the TRY and DSY datasets produced in 2005. The same 14 locations have been used, but the files have been through a rigorous process to select the data using an updated baseline of weather years (1984 to […]

Susie’s symposium special
Rather than blog my notes from the CIBSE Technical Symposium 2016, I’ve decided to add them to a Storify which links all the tweets I sent during the event. Seems a good way to collate my thoughts. https://storify.com/InklingLLP/techsymp2016 moved to: https://wakelet.com/wake/a0b680b3-f3d2-454c-9420-e860535a0697

Weather files and modelling overheating risk
This blog offers our thoughts on the impact of weather file selection on modelling domestic overheating risk. This is part of an ongoing discussion currently taking place regarding defining a complete methodology for predicting domestic overheating risk which factors in weather file selection, occupancy and gain profiles and setting the pass/fail thresholds. The weather […]
