Daylighting Performance Simulation: Prediction Accuracy / Processing Speed Trade-off (2023)
Journal Article
Abdelwahab, S., Rutherford, P., & Mayhoub, M. (2023). Daylighting Performance Simulation: Prediction Accuracy / Processing Speed Trade-off. Journal of Green Building, 18(2), 133-157. https://doi.org/10.3992/jgb.18.2.133

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
Bugaje, B., Rutherford, P., & Clifford, M. (2022). Convenience in a residence with demand response: A system dynamics simulation model. Applied Energy, 314, Article 118929. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2022.118929

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
Batool, A., Rutherford, P., McGraw, P., Ledgeway, T., & Altomonte, S. (2022). Gaze correlates of view preference: Comparing natural and urban scenes. Lighting Research and Technology, 54(6), 576-594. https://doi.org/10.1177/14771535211055703

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
Batool, A., Rutherford, P., McGraw, P., Ledgeway, T., & Altomonte, S. (2021). Window Views: Difference of Perception during the COVID-19 Lockdown. LEUKOS, 17(4), 380-390. https://doi.org/10.1080/15502724.2020.1854780

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
Batool, A., Rutherford, P., McGraw, P., Ledgeway, T., & Altomonte, S. (2021). View preference in urban environments. Lighting Research and Technology, 53(7), 613-636. https://doi.org/10.1177/1477153520981572

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.
