BaleHaus: A low carbon solution for buildings using prefabricated panels made from renewable materials (2010)
Book Chapter

The construction of a low-carbon building using renewable materials is described and air tightness and breathability details explained. The BaleHaus at Bath is the first prefabricated straw bale house to use ModCell (Modular Cellulose) panels. It is...

Carbon profiling of a school building at an architectural practice (2010)
Book Chapter

This paper describes the process, challenges and results of a carbon profiling tool used as part of the design process at White Design Associates. The paper first explores the need amongst designers for a carbon profiling tool to enable and encourage... Read More about Carbon profiling of a school building at an architectural practice.

The validation and verification of CFD models of heat transfer and airflow within CPV modules (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Simulation models are used for predicting a photovoltaic concentrator's performance. It is desirable to analyse theoretically any given system as extensively as possible before embarking on expensive construction. Calculation of the flow fields both...

The practice of ecoDesign: A study of small product design consultancies (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper reports on an ongoing study that explores how UK based designers, in small design consultancies (SDCs), locate information and learn new skills. Semi-structured interviews were used to improve understanding of the context within which thes... Read More about The practice of ecoDesign: A study of small product design consultancies.

The extent of contribution of construction project features to accident causation and health and safety risk: A conceptual model (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Construction project features (CPFs) are organisational, physical and operational attributes that characterise construction projects. Although previous studies have reported the contribution of CPFs to accident causation and the extent of their contr...

An investigation into the barriers towards making existing domestics properties more resilient to the effects of flooding: Results of a case study (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The number of major flood incidents has increased significantly over the past ten years. The flood events of summer 2007 witnessed some of the worst flooding to have hit the UK in over sixty years. Climate change and other key factors are playing a...

An approach for evaluating the health and safety risk associated with construction project features based on their contribution to accident causation (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The evaluation of health and safety (H&S) risk and the implementation of risk control measures is a hugely important requirement on construction projects. In this light, several risk assessment methods and tools have been developed to enable the eval...
