Heating controls: International evidence base and policy experiences (2017)
Report

This report presents a synthesis in the form of narrative summaries of the international evidence base and policy experiences on heating controls in the domestic sector. The research builds on the former Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC)... Read More about Heating controls: International evidence base and policy experiences.

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...

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...

Evolutionary, not revolutionary–logics of early design energy modelling adoption in UK architecture practice (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This paper examines the effects of early stage design energy modelling technology on architects’ design practice. Energy analysis in design has traditionally been the domain of the build...

Conflict, contradiction, and concern: Judges' evaluation of sustainability in architectural awards (2016)
Journal Article

This paper explores how judges evaluate sustainability of buildings in RIBA award settings in the UK. A qualitative approach drawing on institutional theory is used to understand the ways judges legitimate particular evaluative views. Aesthetics and...

Outwith domain...within terrain - Effects of early design energy modelling on architects' design practice (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper examines the effects of early stage design energy modelling technology on architects’ design practice. Energy analysis in design has traditionally been the domain of the building services engineer with emphasis placed on verifying establis...

Presentation / Conference Contribution

Institutional work for new modes of evaluation: Emerging culture of assessment in evaluating sustainability in architecture (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper deals with the question of how understandings on criteria for evaluating sustainability develop in award winning architecture in 1990-2012 in the UK. Based on the concept of institutional work the paper examines the activities and actors t...
