Heritage buildings, particularly those traditionally seen as connected to a specific use - such as historic churches (>150 years old) - are facing significant challenges in recent years in meeting increasingly demanding "quality of life" standards whilst they are used in broadening and hosting social engagements within the community. To put this in context, the Church of England owns over 15,000 churches. Of these, 78% are listed (45% of the Grade I listed buildings in England), of which over half actively host some form of community activity. The environmental thermal requirements of modern activities in historic churches are often in conflict with the original nature of these buildings, their historic connotation, the building materials, and in meeting user comfort while at the same time presenting and aligning to the concepts of a sustainable society. The demand for solutions becomes even more critical when such buildings are faced with renovating their building services, usually due to a need to either preserve the building or achieve required comfort conditions to continue to sustain its occupation. This research proposal aims to address this challenge by generating new knowledge to enable the evaluation and implementation of space heating technologies in historic churches, thereby increasing the environmental and social sustainability of the building while taking into consideration relevant constraints such as the preservation of the structure and artefacts as well the anticipated community activities. This doctoral project will aim to address the following research questions:1. What are the desirable thermal and hygrothermal criteria for a historic church to protect its structure, artefacts and finishes, as well as providing thermal comfort to the users? How can we define these criteria?2. What are the existing and emerging technologies in space heating, and how can they be applied to meet the thermal and hygrothermal criteria in historic churches? 3. What are the constraints in implementing the desirable thermal retrofit? 4. How can we evaluate and optimise design options within the identified constraints?The research will be developed in close collaboration with the Diocese of Chichester and build on the knowledge base and expertise already exists. Suitable sets of historic churches in south-east England, with their characteristic building features, will be identified and categorised. The research will commence by identifying and establishing desirable seasonal and functional thermal and hygrothermal criteria through literature research, access to the Church resources, contact with experts, and a review of existing case studies. Current and advances in space heating technologies will be critically reviewed in consultation with academics, professionals and experts in the field. Performance of individual or combinations of system configurations in the context of historic churches and their identified features will be evaluated through the use of computer modelling and simulation and, where possible, validation through data gathered from case studies. The key constraints that can prevent the implementation of desirable thermal retrofit will be identified through site visits, interviews, field measurements, existing literature and access to the knowledge base of the Diocese. It is envisaged an optimisation strategy and assessment procedure will be developed enabling the evaluation of the overall sustainability of different solutions. This iterative decision-making process will be tested with at least two case studies - one in the rural community and one in the urban community.

遗产建筑，尤其是传统上与特定用途相关的传统建筑，例如历史教会（> 150年历史），近年来在满足越来越要求的“生活质量”标准方面面临着巨大的挑战，而它们用于扩大社区内社会活动。为了将其在上下文中，英格兰教会拥有15,000多个教堂。其中，列出了78％（英格兰I级列出的建筑物的45％），其中一半以上积极举办某种形式的社区活动。历史教会中现代活动的环境热需求通常与这些建筑物的原始性质，其历史含义，建筑材料以及满足用户舒适性相抵触，同时呈现并与可持续社会的概念保持一致。当这些建筑物面临翻新建筑物服务时，对解决方案的需求变得更加关键，这通常是由于需要保留建筑物或达到所需的舒适条件以继续维持其职业。这项研究建议旨在通过产生新知识来解决这一挑战，以使历史教会中的太空供暖技术的评估和实施，从而增加建筑物的环境和社会可持续性，同时考虑相关的限制，例如保存结构和人工，以及预期的社区活动。该博士项目旨在解决以下研究问题：1。历史教堂的理想热和湿热标准是什么，以保护其结构，人工制品和饰面以及为用户提供热舒适性？我们如何定义这些标准？2。太空供暖的现有技术和新兴技术是什么？如何应用它们来满足历史教堂的热热标准？ 3。实施理想的热改造有什么限制？ 4.我们如何评估并优化确定的约束中的设计选项？研究将与奇切斯特教区密切合作开发，并建立在知识库和专业知识的基础上。将确定和分类，在英格兰东南部的一套合适的历史教堂，具有其特征性的建筑特征。这项研究将通过通过文献研究，获得教会资源，与专家的接触以及对现有案例研究的审查来确定和建立理想的季节和功能热和湿热标准。当前和供暖技术的进步将在与该领域的学者，专业人士和专家协商时进行严格审查。在历史教会及其确定的功能中，个人配置的个人或组合的性能将通过使用计算机建模和仿真来评估，并在可能的情况下通过从案例研究中收集的数据进行验证。可以通过现场访问，访谈，现场测量，现有文献和进入教区知识库的访问来确定可以防止实施理想热改造的关键限制。可以预见，将制定优化策略，并将制定评估程序，以评估不同解决方案的总体可持续性。这个迭代的决策过程将通过至少两个案例研究进行测试 - 一个在农村社区，一个在城市社区中。
