Investigating the potential of adding thermal mass to mitigate overheating in a super-insulated low-energy timber house (2016)
Journal Article
Rodrigues, L. T., Sougkakis, V., & Gillott, M. C. (2016). Investigating the potential of adding thermal mass to mitigate overheating in a super-insulated low-energy timber house. International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 11(3), https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctv003

Evidence suggests that many UK dwellings are subjected to overheating or will be at some point in the future. Dwellings built using modern methods of construction may have a higher overheating risk due to the low levels of thermal mass associated wit...

The role of social network analysis on participation and placemaking (2016)
Journal Article
Alvarez, L., Borsi, K., & Rodrigues, L. T. (2017). The role of social network analysis on participation and placemaking. Sustainable Cities and Society, 28, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2016.06.017

Social networks give structure to our world, are key to building social capital and can form a platform to build-up strength and ability to change; they are, however, often absent from urban studies. In this paper, the authors explored the potential... Read More about The role of social network analysis on participation and placemaking.

The effect of shading, infiltration and ventilation levels on overheating and heating demands in UK residential buildings: case study: Trent Basin Regeneration (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Abdulla, Z., & Rodrigues, L. (2016). The effect of shading, infiltration and ventilation levels on overheating and heating demands in UK residential buildings: case study: Trent Basin Regeneration

Overheating in UK buildings is gradually becoming a widely addressed issue due to two main factors. The first being the climate change which is causing mean temperatures to rise all over the world, and the second being design methods used in low ener...
