Susie: 07972 263 676Susie’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 […]

Overheating – the hot topic in housing (pun intended)
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 […]

Inkling carrying out modelling to assess window film performance
Inkling have been doing some work with Eastman to explore the properties of some of their glazing films and how well the dynamic thermal modelling tools (TAS and IES) can pick up their benefits. It has been an interesting exercise and we thought we’d share some of what we’ve learned in this blog post. […]

Inkling Blog #3: Closing the Building Performance Gap
Our last Blog identified a number of ‘Performance Gaps’ caused by a wide spectrum of conceptual and quality issues ranging from a lack of clarity in the industry regarding building performance criteria to poor build quality on site. So, what can we do to close these gaps? As engineers, modellers and designers we […]

What is adaptive thermal comfort?
Overheating in buildings has historically been quantified by the number of occupied hours per year that the indoor temperature exceeds a particular temperature, irrespective of external temperatures. However, recent research has shown that comfortable room temperature changes with the external air temperature meaning that occupants are comfortable with higher room temperatures during warm weather. This […]
