This paper analyses a multi-apartment residential building undergoing staged renovation during the heating season using real-time, hourly metered heat consumption data over two consecutive winters in a temperate-cold climate. The renovation is implemented in clearly identifiable phases, which enables an empirical, measure-by-measure assessment of changes in heating demand as works progress. The analysed interventions include insulation of basement heat distribution pipework, attic insulation, external wall insulat...

This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary traffic survey approaches, focusing on advanced data acquisition platforms and AI-based video analytics. The study highlights a significant transformation in traffic engineering, where traditional data collection methods are being complemented by modern solutions to provide detailed behavioral and safety-related insights. Central to this shift is the use of surrogate safety measures (SSMs) based on traffic conflicts and near-miss events, such as T...

This paper analyses how designing the same single-family building to different energy performance standards affects its life-cycle costs. The study compares five design scenarios for one building, starting from the current national minimum energy performance requirement, moving through a typical nearly zero-energy building solution and an enhanced NZEB variant, and progressing towards a highly energy-efficient Passive House and a Passive House PLUS solution with on-site photovoltaic generation. Each scenario is ev...
