Application of a staged automated calibration methodology to a partially-retrofitted university building energy model
Zuhaib, Sheikh; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Goggins, Jamie (Elsevier, 2019-07-10)Deep-retrofit planning for existing buildings demands high accuracy in energy modelling prediction that minimises the gap between actual and simulated scenarios. A large set of interacting variables and uncertainties in ... -
The assessment of embodied energy in typical reinforced concrete building structures in Ireland
Goggins, Jamie; Keane, Terasa; Kelly, Alan (2010)This paper demonstrates that by understanding how energy is consumed in the manufacturing of reinforced concrete, designers can significantly reduce the overall embodied energy of structures. Embodied energy of products ... -
Attitudes and approaches of Irish retrofit industry professionals towards achieving nearly zero-energy buildings
Zuhaib, Sheikh; Manton, Richard; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Keane, Marcus M.; Goggins, Jamie (Emerald, 2017-04-10)Abstract Purpose There is profound demand for higher skills and expertise in retrofitting the existing building stock of Europe. The delivery of low- or nearly zero-energy retrofits is highly dependent on technical ... -
An automated standard-based life cycle quality inspection methodology for smart precast concrete solutions in buildings
Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Goggins, Jamie; de la Torre, Oscar; Holleran, Dave; Keane, Marcus M. (Taylor & Francis, 2019-07-29)Built2Spec research project brought together a new and breakthrough set of tools in order to improve construction quality inspection processes. These can be put into the hands of construction stakeholders to help meet ... -
Behaviour of tubular steel members under cyclic axial loading
Goggins, Jamie; Broderick, Brian Michael; Lucas, AS (2006)This paper examines the cyclic performance of axially-loaded tubular members used as bracing elements to provide lateral seismic resistance in steel framed structures. An experimental study into the response of members ... -
Carbon costs and savings of Greenways: creating a balance sheet for the sustainable design and construction of cycling routes
Manton, Richard; Duggan, Alan; Goggins, Jamie; Clifford, Eoghan (Inderscience, 2013-09-10)A modal shift to cycling has the potential to reduce carbon emissions in the transport sector. However, the carbon footprint of constructing new cycling routes, particularly greenways, has not been previously considered ... -
Changing energy cultures? Household energy use before and after a building energy efficiency retrofit
Rau, Henrike; Moran, Paul; Manton, Richard; Goggins, Jamie (Elsevier, 2019-12-03)Government- and community-initiated energy retrofits of existing residential buildings abound across Europe. This paper argues that retrofitting initiatives need to extend their current emphasis on technical-material changes ... -
The creation of a living laboratory for structural engineering at the National University of Ireland, Galway
Goggins, Jamie; Byrne, D; Cannon, E (2012)The recently completed New Engineering Building (NEB) at the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) is a new state of the art academic facility on the university's north campus. The building unites all five ... -
Cyclic performance of steel and composite bracing members
Broderick, Brian Michael; Goggins, Jamie (2005)This paper describes an experimental study on the response of hollow and filled steel members to monotonic and cyclic axial loading. Monotonic tests were first performed on short specimens to establish their compressive ... -
An embodied carbon and embodied energy appraisal of a section of Irish motorway constructed in peatlands
Duggan, Alan R.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Goggins, Jamie; Clifford, Eoghan (Elsevier, 2015-01-29)In addition to the customary drivers of cost and timely project delivery, embodied energy (EE) and embodied carbon (EC) have come to prominence in recent years as major design considerations in all aspects of large-scale ... -
Engineering in Communities Learning by Doing
Goggins, Jamie (2012)Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on a number of initiatives in civil engineering undergraduate programmes at the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) that allow students to complete engineering ... -
Environmental impacts of milk powder and butter manufactured in the Republic of Ireland
Finnegan, William; Goggins, Jamie; Clifford, Eoghan; Zhan, Xinmin (Elsevier, 2016-11-11)The abolition of the milk quota system that was in place in Europe was abolished in 2015, which instigated an immediate increase in milk production in many European countries. This increase "will aid in addressing the ... -
Evaluating the structural capacity of concrete elements through in-situ instrumentation
Byrne, David; Goggins, Jamie (2013)The difficulty in predicting the long term load capacity of concrete elements is well documented. Time dependent effects such as creep and shrinkage coupled with varying loading events, particularly during construction, ... -
Evidence of stabilised peat as a net carbon sink
Duggan, Alan R.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Goggins, Jamie; Clifford, Eoghan (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-01-09)Mass stabilization, a ground improvement solution used for construction in peatlands, involves mixing suitable dry binders into the peat, increasing strength and stiffness and reducing permeability. A previous pilot study ... -
Improving the Delivery of a Construction Management Study-Abroad Course in Ireland through Student Feedback
Goggins, Jamie (2012)International study abroad offers limitless opportunities for students to learn outside of the traditional university setting. By living and learning in a foreign country, the student's exposure to a different culture can ... -
An Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) assessment of a partially-retrofitted university building
Zuhaib, Sheikh; Manton, Richard; Griffin, Corey; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Keane, Marcus M.; Goggins, Jamie (Elsevier, 2018-05-07)Achieving standards-based Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in existing buildings is growing steadily due to the strong demand for deep retrofits in Europe. Existing non-domestic buildings pose challenges mainly due to ... -
Investigation of the seismic performance of braced frames through both testing and analysis
Broderick, Brian Michael; Goggins, Jamie (2008)The results of shake table tests on three concentrically-braced sub-frames are compared with a series of correlative inelastic analyses. Both transient time-history and nonlinear static (pushover) analyses are considered. ... -
