Performance of a sensor-based passive ventilation control system in a temperate climate (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGill, G., Mohamed, S., & Sharpe, T. (2024, July). Performance of a sensor-based passive ventilation control system in a temperate climate. Presented at Indoor Air 2024, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

Concerns regarding bedroom ventilation and IAQ are well known, however addressing problems in practice remains a challenge – particularly in passively ventilated homes that rely on occupants to open windows effectively. Sensor-based control systems a... Read More about Performance of a sensor-based passive ventilation control system in a temperate climate.

Journal Article
Burridge, H. C., Liu, S., Mohamed, S., Wood, S. G., & Noakes, C. J. (2024). Coupled indoor air quality and dynamic thermal modelling to assess the potential impacts of standalone HEPA filter units in classrooms. Indoor Environments, 1(3), Article 100034. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.indenv.2024.100034

The quality of the classroom environment, including ventilation, air quality and thermal conditions, has an important impact on children’s health and academic achievement. The use of portable HEPA filter air cleaners is widely suggested as a strategy...

Environmental data monitoring and infection risks in UK care-homes in the context of COVID-19 (2024)
Journal Article
Khaliq, K. A., Mohamad, S., Edwards, A. J., Noakes, C., Kemp, A. H., Thompson, C., McGill, G., & Sharpe, T. (2024). Environmental data monitoring and infection risks in UK care-homes in the context of COVID-19. Building and Environment, 250, Article 111174. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2024.111174

The COVID-19 pandemic drew attention to the critical role of building ventilation as a measure for controlling infection transmission. With the substantial number of COVID-19 outbreaks in care homes worldwide, the effectiveness of ventilation is an i...

The impact of a passive wall combining natural ventilation and evaporative cooling on schools’ thermal conditions in a hot climate (2021)
Journal Article
Mohamed, S., Al-Khatri, H., Calautit, J., Omer, S., & Riffat, S. (2021). The impact of a passive wall combining natural ventilation and evaporative cooling on schools’ thermal conditions in a hot climate. Journal of Building Engineering, 44, Article 102624. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jobe.2021.102624

Students' performance is negatively influenced by poor indoor environments. In Sudan that is characterised by extreme climate, providing comfortable classrooms is required to improve the educational system that suffers from restricted budgets. To add...
