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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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. ...
