Role of 'community spaces' in residents' adaptation to energy-efficient heating technologies-insights from a UK low-energy housing development (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 by the authors. Advanced energy-efficient heating technologies are often integral to low-energy home design, practice, and policy. The expectation is that technologies designed to lower space-heating energy use may also contribute to better pe...

Co-adapting or adopting? Learning from a large scale comparative case study of four UK architecture firms (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Whilst strategies for co-producing research in architecture are widely debated, the practical complexities and effects of engaging with, discussing and observing ‘designers’ at work are rarely reported. The purpose of this paper is to examine the ‘em... Read More about Co-adapting or adopting? Learning from a large scale comparative case study of four UK architecture firms.

Heated living - Residents valuation of heating practices in low carbon architecture (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Abstract: Low carbon homes are often designed to accommodate advanced heating control technologies. These technologies are expected to contribute to better performing buildings and a comfortable indoor environment. Recent research focusing on the rol...

Enacting dialog through an architectural model (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The research focuses on how people use and experience today’s domestic space in relation to accumulated material possessions within an architectural discourse. In order to assess this, a sensory ethnographical research method, using a physical obje... Read More about Enacting dialog through an architectural model.

The client, organization and the project - Architects’ valuation of energy modelling adoption across four UK firms (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Whilst some architects engage in energy analysis discussions early in design, in most cases building services engineers carry out modelling and simulation tasks often at late stages of design. Recently, however, a number of large architecture firms h... Read More about The client, organization and the project - Architects’ valuation of energy modelling adoption across four UK firms.

Analysis of residents' approaches to heat(ing) in their homes (allowable solutions Hanham Hall report of key findings) (2017)
Report

Household energy use accounts for almost 60% across the EU and more than a quarter of all energy used in the UK (Palmer and Cooper, 2013). Space heating accounts for almost 67% of energy consumption across average European homes (Odyssee-Mure 2015) a...
