N. Dunphy:
"Project Delivery Configuration For Satisficing Building Energy Renovation Activities";
Supervisor, Reviewer: K. Menzel, A. Mahdavi et al.; University College Cork, Ireland, School of Engineering, 2018; oral examination: 2018-05-01.

The essence of this thesis is a transdisciplinary exploration of value within building energy renovation projects. How it is understood, from which activities it is derived, who is responsible for its creation, how it is distributed. The temporary multi-firm configurations that coalesce to deliver such renovations are central to the research. Adopting a life-cycle perspective and selecting three primary measures of success - energy savings, avoided greenhouse gas emissions, and financial return - the thesis examines how achieving these objectives can be incentivised. It looks at how project success (and increased renovation market capacity) can be encouraged through delivering adequate value, in whatever shape that may take, to key stakeholders in the value chain(s) associated with buildings and their renovation.
