Chinyere Dara: Affordability and Energy Consumption: A Study on Zero Carbon New Built Homes in the United Kingdom

This paper demonstrates the role early building performance and cost evaluation could play in delivering affordable and energy efficient homes through evaluation of housing typologies against the UK policy set benchmark for assessing new built and zero carbon housing. Extensive reviews of various methods and techniques have been followed for pre-design evaluation, building performance simulation and cost estimation.
