Journal Article
Rodrigues, L., White, J., Gillott, M., Braham, E., & Ishaque, A. (2018). Theoretical and experimental thermal performance assessment of an innovative external wall insulation system for social housing retrofit. Energy and Buildings, 162, 77-90. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2017.10.020

© 2017 The UK building stock, being amongst the oldest in the developed world, is also one of the least energy efficient and accounts for approximately 45% of UK carbon emission. Energy use from housing alone was responsible for 13% of total UK carbo...

A review of the potential of smart homes to support independent living (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Fox, C., Rodrigues, L. T., Altomonte, S., & Gillott, M. C. (2017). A review of the potential of smart homes to support independent living.

Between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world's population over 60 years of age is expected to nearly double, from 12% to 22%. Whilst hospitals offer care to people with health problems, support at home is generally limited to carers, a costly l...

An analysis of thermal comfort in primary schools in Vietnam (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Le, T. H. V., Gillott, M. C., & Rodrigues, L. T. (2017). An analysis of thermal comfort in primary schools in Vietnam.

There is a trend of installing air conditioning systems in public primary schools that are currently naturally ventilated in Vietnam. A previous study conducted by the authors provided evidence that there is limited need for air conditioning in Vietn... Read More about An analysis of thermal comfort in primary schools in Vietnam.

An interdisciplinary review of energy storage for communities: challenges and perspectives (2017)
Journal Article
Parra, D., Swierczynski, M., Stroe, D. I., Norman, S. A., Abdon, A., Worlitschek, J., …Patel, M. K. (in press). An interdisciplinary review of energy storage for communities: challenges and perspectives. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 79, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2017.05.003

Given the increasing penetration of renewable energy technologies as distributed generation embedded in the consumption centres, there is growing interest in energy storage systems located very close to consumers. These systems allow to increase the... Read More about An interdisciplinary review of energy storage for communities: challenges and perspectives.

Optimum community energy storage for renewable energy and demand load management (2017)
Journal Article
