Presentation / Conference
HERRERA GUTIERREZ-AVELLANOSA, D. and BENNADJI, A. 2014. Understanding the influence of occupants' behaviour on the hygrothermal performance of insulated solid walls. Presented at the 2014 Conference of the European Network for Housing Research (ENHR 2014), 1-4 July 2014, Edinburgh, UK.

Residential buildings in the UK consume around 28% of total final energy use. Therefore, in order to achieve the CO2 and fuel poverty reduction targets set by the Scottish government, it will be necessary to improve the energy efficiency of the exist...

Decision making criteria in adopting renewable energies in the built environment. (2013)
Presentation / Conference
BENNADJI, A. and HERRERA, D. 2013. Decision making criteria in adopting renewable energies in the built environment. Presented at the 2013 All-Energy exhibition and conference (All Energy 2013), 22-23 May 2013, Aberdeen, UK.

The best system for a particular property is strongly linked to the occupiers. User’s energy needs vary depending on type and size of building they occupy. A deeper analysis of the heating and electricity demand should include detailed assessment of... Read More about Decision making criteria in adopting renewable energies in the built environment..

Energy efficient homes: implementation of renewable energies in retrofitted buildings. (2013)
Presentation / Conference
HERRERA, D. and BENNADJI, A. 2013. Energy efficient homes: implementation of renewable energies in retrofitted buildings. Presented at the 2013 All-Energy exhibition and conference (All-Energy 2013), 22-23 May 2013, Aberdeen, UK.

According to the Climate change (Scotland) Act 2009, by 2020 total carbon emission should be reduced 42% respect 1990 levels (and 80% lower than the baseline by 2050). In this context, it is important to highlight that buildings are responsible of 45... Read More about Energy efficient homes: implementation of renewable energies in retrofitted buildings..

From words to ambience: towards an architectural daylighting design based on users' perceptions and behaviours. (2009)
Presentation / Conference
BELAKEHAL, A., BENNADJI, A. and TABET AOUL, K. 2009. From words to ambience: towards an architectural daylighting design based on users' perceptions and behaviours. Presented at the 11th European lighting conference (LuxEuropa 2009), 9-11 September 2009, Istanbul, Turkey.

This paper presents an investigation aiming to demonstrate the possible move from words to ambience in order to achieve an architectural daylighting design. This latter is mainly based on the users’ perceptions and behaviours. It was assumed that the...

Existing housing stock in the UK and the thermal insulation challenge: case of granite traditional constructions in the United Kingdom. (2009)
Presentation / Conference
BENNADJI, A., SCOTT, J. and TAYLOR, B. 2009. Existing housing stock in the UK and the thermal insulation challenge: case of granite traditional constructions in the United Kingdom. Presented at the 2009 Aberdeen Research Consortium (ARC) awareness day on environmental change, 12 May 2009, Aberdeen, UK.

The increase in energy price has sparked a debate in the UK as to what would be the best way to address this problem. Various political parties and civil societies are also concerned and various responses to the crisis are being suggested and debated...
