Cost, context, or convenience? Exploring the social acceptance of demand response in the United Kingdom (2021)
Journal Article

The energy sector, and buildings in particular, are one of the main contributors to climate change. Demand-Side Management (DSM) has the potential to realise energy savings on the demand as well as the supply side. However, the domestic sector still... Read More about Cost, context, or convenience? Exploring the social acceptance of demand response in the United Kingdom.

Evaluation of the precision and accuracy of the QUB/e method for assessing the as-built thermal performance of a low-energy detached house in UK (2021)
Journal Article

In this paper, the findings from a field study of the thermal performance of a low-energy dwelling are presented and discussed. The study aimed at evaluating the precision and accuracy of the QUB/e method in the field under UK climatic conditions. A...

Assessing the impact of lockdown due to COVID-19 on the electricity consumption of a housing development in the UK (2021)
Book Chapter

In March 2020, the United Kingdom (UK) government ruled that householders must stay home as a response to the COVID-19 outbreak to help flatten the curve of the epidemic and reduce the exponential growth of the virus. Commercial activities, workplace... Read More about Assessing the impact of lockdown due to COVID-19 on the electricity consumption of a housing development in the UK.

Localized heating element distribution in composite metal foam-phase change material: Fourier's law and creeping flow effects (2021)
Journal Article

A numerical parametric study is presented of a domestic thermal storage heat exchanger to explore the effect of highly localized positive temperature coefficient cylindrical heating elements in a phase change material (PCM) with conductive enhancemen...

Comfort within budget: Assessing the cost-effectiveness of envelope improvements in single-family affordable housing (2021)
Journal Article

In Brazil, the delivery of homes for low-income households is dictated by costs rather than performance. Issues such as the impact of climate change, affordability of operational energy use, and lack of energy security are not taken into account, eve... Read More about Comfort within budget: Assessing the cost-effectiveness of envelope improvements in single-family affordable housing.

We got the power: Predicting available capacity for vehicle-to-grid services using a deep recurrent neural network (2021)
Journal Article

© 2021 Elsevier Ltd Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services utilise a population of electric vehicle batteries to provide the aggregated capacity required to participate in power and energy markets. Such participation relies on the prediction of available cap... Read More about We got the power: Predicting available capacity for vehicle-to-grid services using a deep recurrent neural network.
