Addressing air quality and thermal performance to help tackle inequalities in overcrowded UK dwellings: development of enhanced household overcrowding metrics
Overcrowding in residential buildings is a growing problem in some areas of the UK, being especially prevalent in ethnic minority households and potentially leading to adverse health and wellbeing impacts, such as increased risk of infection transmission (e.g. Read more
Digitally twinned rating systems for low energy housing in Scotland.
This PhD Project aims to develop innovative ‘digitally twinned’ rating systems for low energy housing in Scotland. Energy efficiency is becoming a pressing issue that must be addressed in current and future housing developments. Read more
Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis of UK housing stock’s energy and carbon performance
To better inform the energy use and CO 2 reduction potential of the UK housing stock, computational models can simulate housing energy use and CO 2 emissions to test the effectiveness of decarbonisation scenarios. Read more
Finding a novel integrated phase-change material (PCM) with thermal system for building application: A nearly net-zero carbon emission and green strategy in enhancing the sustainable built environment
Phase-change material (PCM) has the capability to enhance the indoor thermal comfort of a building as well as it has the potential to balance the heat and cool effect of a building material, especially when the material is exposed to severe environment. Read more

Performance criteria for passive housing systems using nanostructured behaviours for energy harvesting and environmental comfort
In the context of wider goals towards Sustainable Development Goals SDGs through Net Zero Energy Building nZEB. A combination of sustainable design and renewable energy harvesting strategies is a promising path to sustainable development in the construction sector. Read more
Development of Cognitive Digital Twin for Predictive Maintenance of Building Facilities
As an emerging concept, digital twins have been adopted to save costs and improve reliabilities in many different industries, including the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. Read more
Sustainable Construction with Home Grown Timber - An approach to optimise structural performance of Cross-laminated timber (CLT) by effective use of the UK timber
Cross-laminated timber is an engineered wood product, consisted of solid timber boards (lamella) stacked perpendicularly and glued in layers resulting in massive structural floor and wall panels. Read more
