“…The final outcome of this study's results was in agreement with similar research projects undertaken to investigate the exacerbation of climate change and its effects on CO2 mitigation in both the UK and Europe (Beizaee, Morey & Badiei, 2021;Goncalves, Ogunjimi & Heo, 2021). This project included testing the thermal efficiency of building systems with a wide range of materials that could be applied to improve the thermal performance of existing buildings under different climatic conditions.…”

“…Hence, a major consideration could be given to the tripod in vogue today; E (environmental), S (social), and G (corporate governance). Regarding environmental considerations, publications that consider the building dimension are being integrated with new technologies to measure the performance of the buildings, emphasizing the thermal and lighting comfort of buildings [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Moreover, few publications are focusing on sustainable affordable housing (SAH), analyzing the building typology and critical success factors [9,42,104,105] without proposing clear solutions for the development of a feasible product for all stakeholders and disregarding the environmental factor.…”

“…The recent literature on the sustainability of buildings underscores the significance of pursuing energy efficiency, particularly through technical evaluations. Notably, emphasis is placed on assessments that target thermal and lighting performance [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Numerous studies concentrate on experimenting with alternative and/or sustainable materials and construction techniques [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], often advocating for comparisons between different solutions that favor socio-economic and environmental implementations.…”

Nowadays, there are many studies with a significant focus on affordable housing. The relevance of this theme, which is usually the central object of public housing policies, requires an updated review of the problems and challenges to be overcome, especially in terms of sustainability, in favor of an improvement in the quality of products delivered to beneficiaries. This research concentrates on applying the sustainability concept to affordable housing, emphasizing technical, social, and governance aspects. A novel classification framework is introduced, encompassing these aspects in the context of sustainability integrated with affordable housing. A systematic literature review is conducted and more than 100 articles are examined based on bibliometric and bibliographic analyses to highlight the main dimensions and topics involved in the housing public policy sphere. The study has been elaborated based on collecting relevant materials, building a descriptive analysis of the literature examined, highlighting the classification structure that categorizes the studies examined, and evaluating the material identified based on the classification structure. The outcomes aim to spotlight the diverse dimensions of sustainable affordable housing and associated research themes. Furthermore, the research outlines deficiencies in current approaches and outlines a future research agenda for implementing sustainability in affordable housing. It establishes a strong connection between technical, social, and governance aspects of affordable housing and sustainability, considering anticipated approaches, techniques, and challenges.

“…Many researchers have investigated the effect of influencing factors on the building heat consumption, especially building characteristics. Beizaee et al [2] measured the heat consumption of different households in England. They found that the heat consumption varied greatly with building structure and residential groups.…”

Building heat consumption is affected by factors such as building characteristics, surrounding non-heating users, and outdoor temperature. Therefore, in order to achieve precise and efficient heating, it is of great importance to study the effects of building characteristics and the existence of non-heating users on the building heat consumption. This paper proposed two factors to evaluate the influences of the building characteristics and the non-heating users on heat consumption in a multi-storey heating residential building. Based on the heat consumption without non-heating adjacent users, the top-side users, top-middle users, middle-side users, middle-middle users, bottom-side users and bottom-middle users are identified as six types of typical-location users. Taking the heat consumption of middle-middle users as the benchmark, location factors (LFs) are introduced to consider the influence of building characteristics on the heat consumption of different typical-location users. For each typical-location user, non-heating user factors (NHFs) are introduced to consider the influences of different distributed non-heating adjacent users on the heat consumption of each typical-location user. The results show that, for low-temperature hot water floor radiant heating system, the impact of upstairs adjacent non-heating users is greater than that of same-floor adjacent non-heating users, and the impact of downstairs adjacent non-heating users is minimal. Besides, it can be considered the non-heating user factors vary slightly with the outdoor temperature when the outdoor temperature is below 0 °C. The results provide a guide for heating operation regulation of residential buildings with non-heating users.
