果冻影院-Energy researcher Virginia Gori has been awarded an to study 鈥楤ayesian Building Physics: The Rapid Characterisation of Dynamic Building Heat Loss鈥�. This award supports fellowships of two years鈥� duration for exceptional researchers who have recently finished an EPSRC-funded PhD. They are prestigious fellowships that are intended to provide support for outstanding candidates who are beginning to develop independent research careers.

Virginia completed her PhD with the , developing a novel grey-box dynamic method for the characterisation of the thermophysical performance of in-situ building elements. She said:

鈥�Being part of a cutting-edge yet supportive environment like the Physical Characterisation of Buildings research group, the EPSRC LoLo CDT and the 果冻影院 Energy Institute has given me opportunities that have been a major factor in this success - I'm very grateful to everyone I鈥檝e interacted with during the past four years.鈥�

Virginia鈥檚 fellowship research will build on and expand a combination of methods and techniques pioneered during her doctoral studies as part of the 鈥�Physical Characterisation of Buildings鈥� group led by Dr Cliff Elwell at the 果冻影院 Energy Institute. She proposes a novel dynamic method for the rapid and robust characterisation of building heat loss. It aims at reducing the time, disruption and cost for performance characterisation of buildings using in-situ measurements. This could help to address the performance gap between the expected and real energy use of buildings that is often observed and could widen the application of as-built testing, potentially providing new regulatory and business opportunities.

Dr Cliff Elwell, Deputy Director of LoLo said:

鈥�We are delighted that Virginia has been awarded an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship. This is an excellent opportunity to develop her research on a topic that has the potential for significant impact. Virginia has played a very active role in the CDT, though peer-to-peer learning, engaging with industry, policy makers and the public. We believe she has a bright future and look forward to working with her at the Energy Institute for a further 2 years鈥�
