Inspiration from animal's collective behavior for home energy demand management (2023)
Journal Article
Badarnah, L., Barakat, M., & Oliveira, S. (2023). Inspiration from animal's collective behavior for home energy demand management. https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/2600/2/022013

An interdisciplinary approach towards managing energy demand through users' behavior is discussed, drawing on knowledge from studies on collective behavior in nature. Studies on home energy demand management have focused mainly on social, technical a... Read More about Inspiration from animal's collective behavior for home energy demand management.

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...

Emerging urban aural patterns: Finding connections between emergence in architecture and soundscape eEcology (2016)
Journal Article
Barakat, M., & Weinstock, M. (2016). Emerging urban aural patterns: Finding connections between emergence in architecture and soundscape eEcology

Cities are dynamic, spatial and material systems that exhibit power scaling and selfsimilarity across a range of scales. Spatial designers are informed by mathematical and biological systems and use concepts and processes abstracted from them to anal...
