Browser-style interfaces to a home automation network
(IEEE, 1997)The design and implementation of a browser-style interface to a home automation network is described. The interface supports browsing and navigation of network devices and context structures and the user can ... -
Building effectiveness communication ratios for improved building life cycle management
(International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA), 2005-08-15)Many existing building energy performance assessment frameworks, quantifying and categorising buildings post occupancy, offer limited feedback on design decisions. An environment providing decision makers with pertinent ... -
Building performance optimization using cross-domain scenario modeling, linked data, and complex event processing
(Elsevier, 2013-01-28)The scenario modeling method empowers building managers by enabling comprehensive performance analysis in commercial buildings, but is currently limited to data from the building management domain. This paper proposes that ... -
Business Modelling to Support the Development of Integrated Process Support Systems in the Extended Enterprise
(1999)Recent years have witnessed rapid advances in the areas of Business Process Reengineering(BPR) and Software Engineering. In order for BPR to work, successful deployment of Information Technology is imperative, with the ... -
Business sustainability methodology for European manufacturing SMEs
(IST Press, 2011-06-28)SMEs find it difficult to deal with environmental issues due mainly to their limited resources in terms of money, people and time. Our research also identified other barriers to engaging SMEs in environmental improvement ... -
Calibrated CFD simulation to evaluate thermal comfort in a highly-glazed naturally ventilated room
(Elsevier, 2013-08-30)Natural ventilation is a sustainable solution to maintaining healthy and comfortable environmental conditions in buildings. However, the effective design, construction and operation of naturally ventilated buildings require ... -
Can DEAP help us to predict the energy demand and indoor temperature of homes before and after renovation ? A case study from Dublin
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI) and Cork Institute of Technology, 2020-08-27)Improving the energy efficiency of buildings via retrofitting is seen as one of the key mitigation measures to reducing the energy demand and carbon emissions of the built environment in Ireland. However, while energy ... -
Carbon and nitrogen dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions in constructed wetlands treating wastewaters: a review
(2016-02-17)The removal efficiency of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in constructed wetlands (CWs) is very inconsistent and frequently does not reveal whether the removal processes are due to physical attenuation or whether the different ... -
Carbon costs and savings of Greenways: creating a balance sheet for the sustainable design and construction of cycling routes
(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 ... -
Carbonation in stabilised peat: an accelerated pilot study
(ICE Institution of Civil Engineers, 2015)Due to stringent environmental regulations, embodied carbon estimates are being used increasingly to assess the environmental impact of major building and infrastructure projects, including their geotechnical components. ... -
CASCADE methodology and tool: appliedICT for energy efficient airports
(World SB14 Barcelona, 2014-10-28)This paper gives an overview on the CASCADE project, methodology and on a stakeholdercentered solution called the CASCADE Tool that integrates Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD)into a comprehensive energy management ... -
Catalytic potential of selected metal ions for bioleaching, and potential techno-economic and environmental issues: a critical review
(Elsevier, 2017-01-06)Bioleaching is considered to be a low-cost, eco-friendly technique for leaching valuable metals from a variety of matrixes. However, the inherent slow dissolution kinetics and low metal leaching yields have restricted its ... -
Categorization of tars from fast pyrolysis of pure lignocellulosic compounds at high temperature
(Elsevier, 2019-04-11)This study presents how the yields of different tar compounds from pure lignocellulosic compounds respond to the change in temperature and residence time. Experiments were carried out with a drop tube furnace in the ... -
CEBus network access via the world-wide-web
(IEEE, 1996)Several methods of providing access to CEBus networks using the World Wide Web are described. Details of a working demonstration system are given. The system software incorporates CGI-Bin scripts and Java applets ... -
Cellular contractility and substrate elasticity: a numerical investigation of the actin cytoskeleton and cell adhesion
(Springer Verlag, 2013-06-18)Numerous experimental studies have established that cells can sense the stiffness of underlying substrates and have quantified the effect of substrate stiffness on stress fibre formation, focal adhesion area, cell traction, ... -
A CFD investigation of a variable-pitch vertical axis hydrokinetic turbine with incorporated flow acceleration
(Springer, 2019-02-18)This paper presents the numerical modelling of a novel vertical axis tidal turbine that incorporates localised flow acceleration and variable-pitch blades. The focus is to develop a computational fluid dynamics model of a ... -
