Comparative life cycle analysis of façade passive systems in the Mediterranean: Comfort, energy, and carbon (2019)
Journal Article
Mifsud, L., Pomponi, F., & Moncaster, A. M. (2020). Comparative life cycle analysis of façade passive systems in the Mediterranean: Comfort, energy, and carbon. Renewable Energy, 149, 347-360. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2019.12.072

In the Mediterranean region façade shading systems are used to reduce operational energy, particularly cooling loads. However, operational savings do not necessarily translate into net energy savings unless they outweigh the embodied energy/carbon re...

Clay mineralogy and geochemistry of the Lower Pleistocene Loess in the Iranian Loess Plateau (Agh Band section) and implications for its provenance and paleoclimate change (2019)
Journal Article
Taheri, M., Khormali, F., Wang, X., Amini, A., Landi, A., Wei, H., …Chen, F. (2020). Clay mineralogy and geochemistry of the Lower Pleistocene Loess in the Iranian Loess Plateau (Agh Band section) and implications for its provenance and paleoclimate change. Quaternary International, 552, 91-99. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2019.09.011

The clay mineralogy and geochemistry of loess is sensitive to variations in sediment source area, transport processes and weathering regime over time, and thus careful study of them can provide some insight into past climate variability. The well-kno...

Arguments for a co-production approach to community flood protection (2019)
Journal Article
Fitton, S. L., & Moncaster, A. M. (2019). Arguments for a co-production approach to community flood protection. Proceedings of the ICE - Engineering Sustainability, 172(7), 335-344. https://doi.org/10.1680/jensu.17.00014

With more intense rainfall and sea level rises predicted, an increasing number of people across the UK are vulnerable to flood events. The government has pledged more funding for flood infrastructure planning, design and management. However, schemes...

Bamboo hybrids bolster timber (2019)
Journal Article
Archila Santos, H. (2019). Bamboo hybrids bolster timber. Materials World, 40-41

A relatively common material is not being embraced fully for building supplies. Interest in bamboo is growing, through research and media campaigning about the material’s environmental benefits, properties and its ability to replace wood, steel and c...

Establishing a metropolitan transport authority in Istanbul: A new institutional economics framework for institutional change in urban transport (2019)
Journal Article
Canitez, F., Çelebi, D., & Beyazit, E. (2019). Establishing a metropolitan transport authority in Istanbul: A new institutional economics framework for institutional change in urban transport. Case Studies on Transport Policy, 7(3), 562-573. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cstp.2019.06.002

Rapid urban growth and resulting urban transport problems in developing cities trigger major transformative reform attempts. However, these attempts might fail due to ignoring the role of the institutional environment. Changing the governance structu...

Polylactic acid/lyocell fibre as an eco-friendly alternative to polyethylene terephthalate/cotton fibre blended yarns and knitted fabrics (2019)
Journal Article
Jabbar, A., Tausif, M., Tahir, H. R., Basit, A., Bhatti, M. R. A., & Abbas, G. (2020). Polylactic acid/lyocell fibre as an eco-friendly alternative to polyethylene terephthalate/cotton fibre blended yarns and knitted fabrics. Journal of the Textile Institute, 111(1), 129-138. https://doi.org/10.1080/00405000.2019.1624070

Polylactic acid (PLA) and lyocell fibres blend can offer an eco-friendly alternative to commonly employed blend of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and cotton fibres in textiles. PET fibre is non-biodegradable and depletes fossils fuels and adds to l...
