Prof. Phil Banfill, Prof. Gavin Gibson, Dr. Gill Menzies,
Heriot-Watt University

Aim: To produce a general, deterministic and computationally efficient methodology for adequately sizing HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning) plant and equipment in buildings.

Objectives:

  • Investigate and represent the outcomes of the UKCP09 climate scenarios in a manner appropriate to the building design community.
  • Explore how this data can be used to inform communication between design stakeholders.
  • Incorporate the findings in the development of the existing standard guidelines and building regulations.
