Achieving nearly zero-energy buildings - A lifecycle assessment approach to retrofitting buildings
Moran, Paul; Goggins, Jamie; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena (NUI Galway, 2015-04-23)It is now widely recognised in the academic and business worlds that energy efficiency in buildings provides significant environmental and economic opportunities, but also challenges. The building sector offers considerable ... -
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 hybrid concrete lattice girder flat slab system using insitu structural health monitoring
Newell, S.; Goggins, Jamie; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Holleran, D. (NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)In recent decades, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has emerged as an increasingly important tool in Civil Engineering to understand how structures behave during construction and operation. Although SHM is not a new ... -
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 ... -
Brace response and assessment: computation, experiments and design (BRACED)
Goggins, Jamie (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 ... -
Can DEAP help us to predict the energy demand and indoor temperature of homes before and after renovation ? A case study from Dublin
Moran, Paul; Goggins, Jamie (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 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 ... -
Carbonation in stabilised peat: an accelerated pilot study
Duggan, Alan R.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Clifford, Eoghan; Goggins, Jamie (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. ... -
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 ... -
Community engaged learning: A building engineering case study
Goggins, Jamie; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena (Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2020-08-28)ABSTRACT: Community engaged learning is a form of experiential education with a civic underpinning. Community engaged learning is embedded with the civil engineering curriculum at NUI Galway and is framed by a research ... -
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 ... -
