The potential of inclined walls to reduce overheating risk: A Passivhaus case study for UK current and future climates (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study used probabilistic climate change scenarios from the UK Climate Change Projections to determine the future overheating risk in an existing Passivhaus dwelling under a high emission 50 percentile scenario in London. Dynamic thermal simulati... Read More about The potential of inclined walls to reduce overheating risk: A Passivhaus case study for UK current and future climates.

An architectural approach to the Soundwalk method (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A series of on-site surveys are conducted to observe possible qualitative aural pattern formations by using spatial measurements as fundamental parameters. The method assimilates the Soundwalk technique and the Relative Approach from the fields of so... Read More about An architectural approach to the Soundwalk method.

Supporting the uptake of low cost resilience: Summary of technical findings (FD2682) (2016)
Report

This report summarises evidence collected by the Defra research project FD2682 regarding technical aspects of low cost flood repairable approaches designed to limit damage to buildings. It is derived from a Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) that is rep... Read More about Supporting the uptake of low cost resilience: Summary of technical findings (FD2682).

SuDS and human perceptions (2016)
Book Chapter

This chapter considers the centrality of human perceptions, and so behaviour, to the sustainability of SuDS. Research shows a lack of engagement with flood preparedness and flood risk mitigation (FRM) in the public as a whole, and many people are ave... Read More about SuDS and human perceptions.

Outwith domain...within terrain - Effects of early design energy modelling on architects' design practice (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper examines the effects of early stage design energy modelling technology on architects’ design practice. Energy analysis in design has traditionally been the domain of the building services engineer with emphasis placed on verifying establis...

Improving safety performance in construction using safety climate factors (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Data from a number of industrialized countries show that construction workers are 3 to 4 times more likely than other workers to die from accidents at work. In the developing world, the risks associated with construction work may be 3 to 6 times grea... Read More about Improving safety performance in construction using safety climate factors.
