Towards sustainable energy: Are there lessons from the history of the early factory system? (2010)
Journal Article
Bellaby, P., Flynn, R., & Ricci, M. (2010). Towards sustainable energy: Are there lessons from the history of the early factory system?. Innovation / Innovation: The European Journal of Social Science Research, 23(4), 333-348. https://doi.org/10.1080/13511610.2010.545276

Development of sustainable energy has been slow. We compare it with a historical example of rapid innovation - the first factory system. The first factory system in the English Derwent Valley mills in the eighteenth century was based not on new techn...

Benchmarking energy consumption and CO2 emissions from rainwater-harvesting systems: An improved method by proxy (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Ward, S., Butler, D., & Memon, F. (2010, November). Benchmarking energy consumption and CO2 emissions from rainwater-harvesting systems: An improved method by proxy. Poster presented at IWA Water and Energy Conference, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Life cycle analyses (LCAs) show the main operational energy contribution for rainwater-harvesting (RWH) systems come from ultraviolet (UV) disinfection and pumping rainwater from tank to building. Simple methods of estimating pump energy consumption... Read More about Benchmarking energy consumption and CO2 emissions from rainwater-harvesting systems: An improved method by proxy.
