Application of infrared thermography technique to the thermal assessment of multiple thermal bridges and windows
O'Grady, Małgorzata; Lechowska, Agnieszka A.; Harte, Annette M. (Elsevier, 2018-03-16)A major contribution to the global trend in reducing energy consumption can be made by improving the thermal performance of buildings. Minimization of heat loss via the building envelope is key to maximizing building energy ... -
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 ... -
Greenways as a tourism resource: a study of user spending and value
Manton, Richaed; Hynes, Stephen; Clifford, Eoghan (Taylor & Francis, 2016-01-18)Cycling is increasingly recognized as a key tool in improving transport sustainability, promoting increased physical activity and improved public health and developing the tourism sector. While the provision of safe and ... -
A novel image processing-based system for turbidity measurement in domestic and industrial wastewater
Mullins, Darragh; Coburn, Derek; Hannon, Louise; Jones, Edward; Clifford, Eoghan; Glavin, Martin (IWA Publishing, 2018-01-19)Wastewater treatment facilities are continually challenged to meet both environmental regulations and reduce running costs (particularly energy and staffing costs). Improving the efficiency of operational monitoring at ... -
Using image processing for determination of settled sludge volume
Mullins, Darragh; Coburn, Derek; Hannon, Louise; Jones, Edward; Clifford, Eoghan; Glavin, Martin (IWA Publishing, 2018-07-12)Determination of the sludge volume index is key to describing the settling characteristics of sludge in the aeration process of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The two core components of this calculation are the settled ... -
Using mental mapping to unpack perceived cycling risk
Manton, Richard; Rau, Henrike; Fahy, Frances; Sheahan, Jerome; Clifford, Eoghan (Elsevier, 2016-01-04)Cycling is the most energy-efficient mode of transport and can bring extensive environmental, social and economic benefits. Research has highlighted negative perceptions of safety as a major barrier to the growth of cycling. ...
