AIRBODS: Findings and guidance for airborne infection resilience (2023)
Other

This guidance provides insights into airborne infection risks and proposes mitigation measures to improve airborne infection resilience of indoor and semi-outdoor spaces. In some poorly-ventilated and/or highly occupied spaces, the provision of incre... Read More about AIRBODS: Findings and guidance for airborne infection resilience.

Responsive fungal insoles for pressure detection (2023)
Journal Article

Mycelium bound composites are promising materials for a diverse range of applications including wearables and building elements. Their functionality surpasses some of the capabilities of traditionally passive materials, such as synthetic fibres, reco... Read More about Responsive fungal insoles for pressure detection.

Enhancing non-domestic Passivhaus auditoria ventilation design for improved indoor environmental quality (2023)
Journal Article

Enhanced energy conservation strategies often involve tightly controlled ventilation flow rates. However, strategies that don't carefully consider ventilation rates can, in certain contexts, result in inadequate ventilation, with increased risks of p...
