Daylighting Performance Simulation: Prediction Accuracy / Processing Speed Trade-off (2023)
Journal Article

In daylighting performance simulations of façade systems, a trade-off is often required between processing speed and prediction accuracy. This is particularly relevant at design onset, where plausible simulation outcomes are essential to drive decisi...

Convenience in a residence with demand response: A system dynamics simulation model (2022)
Journal Article

Demand Side Management (DSM) is a means to gain more control over energy demand to address some of the challenges of power grids. Demand Response (DR) is an approach to DSM that aims to influence the operation times of appliances; DR is often recomme...

Gaze correlates of view preference: Comparing natural and urban scenes (2021)
Journal Article

When looking out of a window, natural views are usually associated with restorative qualities and are given a higher preference than urban scenes. Previous research has shown that gaze behaviour might differ based on the natural or urban content of v... Read More about Gaze correlates of view preference: Comparing natural and urban scenes.

Window Views: Difference of Perception during the COVID-19 Lockdown (2021)
Journal Article

The provision of daylight, fresh air, and of a view outdoors are among the known characteristics of windows. But how does the perception of a window differ when it becomes the primary way of connecting to the physical world outside? In the first half...

View preference in urban environments (2020)
Journal Article

With people spending up to 90% of their time in indoor spaces, windows and the visual connection that they afford to the outside, can play an important role in ensuring physical and psychological well-being. This is particularly relevant in urban set... Read More about View preference in urban environments.

Interactive and situated learning in education for sustainability (2016)
Journal Article

Purpose This study aims to explore the opportunities offered by interactive and situated learning (e-learning and m-learning) in support of education for sustainability in disciplines of the built environment. Design/methodology/approach The... Read More about Interactive and situated learning in education for sustainability.

The role of noise in clinical environments with particular reference to mental health care: a narrative review (2015)
Journal Article

Background: There is a large literature suggesting that noise can be detrimental to health and numerous policy documents have promoted noise abatement in clinical settings. Objectives: This paper documents the role of noise in clinical environments...

Mapping the way forward: education for sustainability in architecture and urban design (2012)
Journal Article

Given the growing relevance of the sustainability agenda to the professions of the built environment, one way to ensure that its mandates are effectively integrated in architecture and urban design is to revisit the role that education, particularly...
