Susie has collaborated once again with Julie Godefroy on behalf of the GHA for Woodknowledge Wales to write guidance on the use of BPE to help deliver high quality new homes.
Our collaborative Carter Bronze medal-winning research paper ‘Predictions of summertime overheating: comparison of dynamic thermal models and measurements in synthetically occupied test houses’ features in the September 2020 CIBSE Journal.
Inkling have been awarded the prestigious CIBSE Carter Bronze medal for research into summertime overheating prediction in UK homes.
Susie and Claire will be attending the 2020 CIBSE Technical Symposium, which takes place on 16-17th April in Glasgow.

Inkling were very excited to win the tender to produce a new Good Homes Alliance tool to assess overheating risk in new homes at the early design stage, back in October 2018: https://inklingllp.com/2018/10/17/inkling-win-gha-tender-for-overheating-research/ Susie has worked closely with Julie Godefroy (Julie Godefroy Sustainability) and Nicola O’Connor (Mandarin Research) with support and feedback from an expert
Claire and Susie both travelled to Sheffield in April to attend the annual CIBSE Technical Symposium. Here is the Wakelet write up of what we learned:
Exciting news! Our paper, “Predictions of summertime overheating: Comparison of dynamic thermal models and measurements in synthetically occupied test houses”, co-authored w/ Loughborough University and Hilson Moran is now available online and will be published in BSERT in July 2019. The paper can be viewed at: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0143624419847349
