We teamed up with @LivUniArch to investigate which type of retrofit offers the lowest whole life carbon. Deep retrofit targeting the #Passivhaus standard is the only option for achieving net zero carbon. Read our newly published article here sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Thoroughly examined the embodied carbon and life cycle carbon of deep #retrofit compared to shallow retrofit and heat pumps. Conclusion: #Passivhaus and fabric-first approach remain the most low-carbon solutions. @LivUniArch @Ecospheric @PassivhausTrust doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.20…

In this paper we investigate the #KNUST library in Kumasi, and have consulted over 250 library users as well as using data loggers. Our next step is to repeat the process at @BalmeLibrary with our colleagues at Uni of Ghana and KNUST. @ESTAResearch

Does 'tropical' architecture work? Are international 'comfort levels' appropriate for West Africa? Minimum 56% savings on cooling energy consumption could be achieved. #OpenAccess sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @HaniyehMKarbasi @IreneAddo10 @Dept_Arch_KNUST @IASUG @OppongAssasie
