Overheating occurs when the local indoor thermal environment presents conditions in excess of those acceptable for human thermal comfort or those that may adversely affect human health. This has already become an issue in relatively mild climates, such as the UK and Ireland, in highly insulated homes, particularly new builds. This issue will progress further as global temperatures rise and more new homes are built. This project intends to investigate the extent of the issue currently and in the future, determine it’s causes as well as propose and model solutions. The findings will inform building standards for both new and retrofitted buildings. Please indicate the student requirements for this projectmin. 2.1 BSc in Material Science or Engineering, or have completed a Masters in similar subject. Thermal background preferable.
