Changing energy cultures? Household energy use before and after a building energy efficiency retrofit
(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 ...
An embodied carbon and embodied energy appraisal of a section of Irish motorway constructed in peatlands
(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 ...
Application of a staged automated calibration methodology to a partially-retrofitted university building energy model
(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 ...
Permeability of carbon fibre PEEK composites for cryogenic storage tanks of future space launchers
(Elsevier, 2017-06-15)
This work presents an experimental investigation into the permeability of carbon fibre (CF) polyetheretherketone (PEEK) for cryogenic storage tanks for space applications. The effects of cryogenic cycling, manufacturing ...
Brace response and assessment: computation, experiments and design (BRACED)
(Seismic engineering research infrastructures for European synergies (SERIES) , Project No.: 227887, 2013)
The BRACED project investigated the ultimate behaviour of concentrically braced frames(CBFs). The research programme was designed to validate empirical models for theductility capacity of hollow section bracing members and ...
Influence of microstructural defects and hydrostatic pressure on water absorption in composite materials for tidal energy
(SAGE Publications, 2018-01-06)
The lifespan and economic viability of tidal energy devices are constrained, in part, by the complex degradation of the tidal turbine blade materials due to prolonged immersion in a hostile sub-sea environment. Seawater ...
