Offer Description
Applications are invited for a part-time temporary post of a Research Assistant within UCD School of Architecture, Planning and Environmental Policy.
Applications are invited for a part-time Research Assistant on the MacAirh project.
The Project:
MacAirH is funded by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland. It will monitor, compare, model and analyse the in-use performance of heat pumps (HP) in retrofitted buildings, while also investigating other impacting building parameters. It will identify optimum operational settings and controls, and return guidance documents for best practice, system sizing and optimum control.
MacAirH will monitor a robust sample size of geographically dispersed air-to-water (with some exhaust air) heat pumps, in primarily domestic (with optional nondomestic) buildings pre and post retrofit. Comparison will be made with monitored traditional boiler-based systems and previously analysed new and retrofit buildings.
The vision of MacAirH is to uncover key operational lessons as Ireland embarks on the unprecedented mass-market implementation of heat pumps in retrofitted buildings. It will achieve this by following a developed monitoring methodology in over 50 already recruited buildings, mining the monitored data and furthering analysis using developed and validated HP and emitter models. The project will not just investigate HPs in isolation but will also associate HP performance with the building fabric, air tightness and importantly the occupants. It will look at the full life cycle of HPs, from carbon and costing perspectives. The project builds on an established, effective collaboration of academics with energy agencies, city and county councils. It will develop guidance documents and compliant datasets for online publication, as well as disseminating the research widely through national and international industry and scientific academic publications.
Salary Range: €31,150 - €41,033 Per Annum Pro-Rata @ 0.2FTE
Appointment on the above range will be dependent on qualifications and experience
Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on the 23rd of May 2024.
