Decarbonising our transport system: Vehicle use behaviour analysis to assess the potential of transitioning to electric mobility (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Waldron, J., Rodrigues, L., Gillott, M., Naylor, S., & Shipman, R. (2020, September). Decarbonising our transport system: Vehicle use behaviour analysis to assess the potential of transitioning to electric mobility. Presented at 35th PLEA Conference on Passive and Low Energy Architecture (PLEA 2020). Planning Post Carbon Cities, A Coruna, Spain

The transport sector is responsible for over 20% of the global carbon emissions. One of the strategies to reduce its impact includes transitioning to electric vehicles (EV). However, this represents several challenges to existing cities, such as the...

A practical review of alternatives to the steady pressurisation method for determining building airtightness (2020)
Journal Article
Zheng, X., Cooper, E., Gillott, M., Vega Pasos, A., & Wood, C. (2020). A practical review of alternatives to the steady pressurisation method for determining building airtightness. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 132, Article 110049

As an important indicator of construction quality and envelope integrity of buildings, airtightness is responsible for a considerable amount of energy losses associated with infiltration. It is crucial to understand building airtightness during const... Read More about A practical review of alternatives to the steady pressurisation method for determining building airtightness.
