Journal Article
Tubelo, R., Rodrigues, L., & Gillott, M. (2021). Characterising Brazilian Housing through an Investigation of Policies, Architecture and Statistics. Journal of Architecture, 26(2), 191-211. https://doi.org/10.1080/13602365.2021.1895279

Defining common housing characteristics such as typology, floor areas and occupancy rates can be challenging in many countries because of the prevalence of self-built and/or self-promoted accommodation. Yet, for researchers, designers and policy make... Read More about Characterising Brazilian Housing through an Investigation of Policies, Architecture and Statistics.

Decarbonising our transport system: Vehicle use behaviour analysis to assess the potential of transitioning to electric mobility (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Waldron, J., Rodrigues, L., Gillott, M., Naylor, S., & Shipman, R. (2020, September). Decarbonising our transport system: Vehicle use behaviour analysis to assess the potential of transitioning to electric mobility. Presented at 35th PLEA Conference on Passive and Low Energy Architecture (PLEA 2020). Planning Post Carbon Cities, A Coruna, Spain

The transport sector is responsible for over 20% of the global carbon emissions. One of the strategies to reduce its impact includes transitioning to electric vehicles (EV). However, this represents several challenges to existing cities, such as the...

An innovative method for the assessment of thermal comfort and resilience in social housing (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gomez De Leon, A. B., Rodrigues, L., Gillott, M., & Calautit, J. (2018, October). An innovative method for the assessment of thermal comfort and resilience in social housing. Presented at 6th International Academic Conference for Graduates, NUAA

Thermal evaluation of building envelopes is useful to approach efficient solutions for energy savings. Meteorological parameters represent an important role for this analysis. Future climate scenarios are considered to study climate behavior to provi... Read More about An innovative method for the assessment of thermal comfort and resilience in social housing.
