Beyond energy services: A multidimensional and cross-disciplinary agenda for home energy management research (2021)
Journal Article
Oliveira, S., Badarnah, L., Barakat, M., Chatzimichali, A., & Atkins, E. (2022). Beyond energy services: A multidimensional and cross-disciplinary agenda for home energy management research. Energy Research and Social Science, 85, 102347. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2021.102347

Home Energy Management (HEM) has a significantly growing impact on strategic energy policy, digital equity, as well as housing development and transport issues. With the proliferation of home working, reliance on electricity for heating and cooling a...

Design processes and multi-regulation of biomimetic building skins: A comparative analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Cruz, E., Hubert, T., Chancoco, G., Naim, O., Chayaamor-Heil, N., Cornette, R., …Aujard, F. (2021). Design processes and multi-regulation of biomimetic building skins: A comparative analysis. Energy and Buildings, 246, Article 111034. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2021.111034

Biomimetics is an opportunity for the development of energy efficient building systems. Several biomimetic building skins (Bio-BS) have been built over the past decade, however few addressed multi-regulation although the biological systems they are i...
