Study of photovoltaics (PV) performance degradation analysis in Oman (2017)
Journal Article

The demand for electricity usage is increasing all around the globe. As an alternative and clean source to produce electricity there has been an emphasis on the usage of renewable energies. Sultanate of Oman has also taken an initiative by 2030 that... Read More about Study of photovoltaics (PV) performance degradation analysis in Oman.

A parametric sensitivity analysis of the impact of built environment geometrical variables on building energy consumption (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The growth of urban communities creates the need for analytical frameworks that have a multiobjective and holistic approach. It is important to integrate these frameworks within commonly used architectural tools. The urban environment is mostly desig...

Rooftop solar photovoltaic energy: A case study of India (2017)
Journal Article

Photovoltaic (PV) devices generate electricity directly from sunlight through an electronic process that occurs naturally in certain types of materials called semiconductors. The electrons in these materials are freed by solar energy and can be induc... Read More about Rooftop solar photovoltaic energy: A case study of India.

Causes of accidents in highway construction projects in Oman (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Construction workers are three to four times more likely than workers in other sectors to die from accidents at work. Construction is one of the main industries in Oman providing jobs to 18% of the total population and contributing around 10% of the...

Multivariate extreme value modelling of sea conditions around the coast of England (2017)
Journal Article

It is widely recognised that coastal flood events can arise from combinations of extreme waves and sea levels. For flood risk analysis and the design of coastal structures it is therefore necessary to assess the joint probability of the occurrence of...
