Discharge of a composite metal foam/phase change material to air heat exchanger for a domestic thermal storage unit (2019)
Journal Article
Talebizadeh Sardari, P., Giddings, D., Grant, D., Gillott, M., & Walker, G. S. (2020). Discharge of a composite metal foam/phase change material to air heat exchanger for a domestic thermal storage unit. Renewable Energy, 148, 987-1001. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2019.10.084

This paper evaluates the discharging mechanism in a PCM (phase change material) to air heat exchanger for the purpose of space heating using a composite of copper foam and PCM. The composite system is modelled with both 2-D and 3-D computational flui...

Review of Strategy for Assessing the Thermal Performance of Institutional Building Form in Hot Dry Climates of Nigeria (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Adamu Bena, A., Gillott, M., & Boukhanouf, R. (2019). Review of Strategy for Assessing the Thermal Performance of Institutional Building Form in Hot Dry Climates of Nigeria. In Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (SET 2019), 20-22 August 2019, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Achieving comfortable indoor environment in buildings in hot climates requires enormous amounts of cooling energy specifically if passive design techniques were not considered from the outset of the construction process. For instance, overheating in... Read More about Review of Strategy for Assessing the Thermal Performance of Institutional Building Form in Hot Dry Climates of Nigeria.

Experimental Studies of a Pulse Pressurisation Technique for Measuring Building Airtightness (2019)
Journal Article
Zheng, X., Zu, Y., Cooper, E., Gillott, M., Tetlow, D., Riffat, S., & Wood, C. (2019). Experimental Studies of a Pulse Pressurisation Technique for Measuring Building Airtightness. Future Cities and Environment, 5(1), 1-17. https://doi.org/10.5334/fce.66

A pulse pressurisation technique is developed and utilised for determining building leakage at low pressure, based on a "quasi-steady pulse" concept. The underlying principle of the technique is to subject the building envelope to a known volume chan...
