We have 23 Built Environment PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Belfast
GenZ and GenAI : Assessing the potential benefits and limitations of using Generative AI tools in tertiary education in Built Environment courses.
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is dramatically disrupting traditional patterns of teaching, learning and assessment in tertiary education. Read more
Exploring the value of public health amenities and assets in creating healthy, sustainable, attractive built environments in addressing public health inequalities, social barriers and urban decline.
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Public toilets play a key role in ensuring public health and wellbeing through infectious disease prevention and control. Read more
A Digital Human-Asset Twin of Twins architecture for Buildings
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
In Built Environment, Digital Twins (DTs) research show how the digital imitation of buildings and infrastructures can be used to simulate performance, test operational scenarios and remotely control the physical asset across its life cycle. Read more
Innovations in Assessing Fire Resistance: Collapse Mechanisms of Steel Structures (2nd prefence)
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
The fire resistance of structures is a crucial element in modern engineering and plays a significant role in our built environment. Read more
Adaptive Smart Retrofitting for Historical Buildings: Innovative Integration of Sustainable Wall Technologies with Energy AI-based feedback system
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Historical buildings are the essence of a community, embodying visual, cultural, and social elements that shape a unique identity and sense of place. Read more
Modelling of transfer of heat and toxic chemicals through firefighters’ multilayer clothing
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
The increasingly adverse impact of toxic fire products on fire-fighters’ health and wellbeing are of a world-wide concern. The occurrence of cancer among the fire-fighters is alarmingly high in both developed and developing countries. Read more
Evaluating the Fire Performance of Alternative Cementitious Material (ACM)-Based Concrete for Sustainable and Resilient Construction
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Concrete is one of the popular materials and is widely applied in construction due to its versatility, availability, low cost, strength, and durability. Read more
Dynamic facades and climate adaptive building envelopes
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Over 30% of global final energy consumption and CO2 emissions can be attributed to residential and commercial sector buildings. To achieve Net/Near-Zero Energy Building commitments, building envelopes using adaptive/dynamic technologies will be instrumental in reducing energy consumption. Read more
Single Electricity Market under net-zero energy system
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Are you driven to solve real-world energy challenges? Join this fully funded PhD project in collaboration with SONI Ltdand EirGrid plc, leading Transmission System Operators for Northern Ireland and Ireland. Read more
Data-Knowledge Integrated AI Decision Framework for Optimizing IoT Connected Building Assets
Research Group:
Computing
Climate change necessitates improved energy efficiency. Refrigeration in the retail sector and in building air conditioning systems is a major energy consumer. Read more
Fanger Comfort Model: Still fit for purpose?
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Fanger’s comfort modelis is used to set internal temperatures based upon the activity and clothing of humans. It has been in use since the 1960s. Read more
Portable thermal energy storage for localised cooling in offices
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Personal Cooling is becoming a health requirement in offices and other work places as climate change impacts ambient summer temperatures leading to higher internal temperatures in buildings than originally predicted during its design and construction. Read more
Fire Code Design Development for Precast Cladding Façade System.
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
In a situation where the PCSPF is exposed to fire, the insulation layer should first ensure the thermal protection of the load-bearing layer, stay firm during the fire, and not contribute to fire spread. Read more
Heat pump performance improvement by PVT and/or energy storage integration.
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
The UK’s net zero strategy clearly emphasises the role of heat pumps, other renewable technologies (e.g., Solar PV/thermal, hydrogen), and EVs with an increased share of renewable electricity while keeping the security of supply in mind. Read more
Assessing Effect of Greenhouse Gases Emission Reduction with Variable Renewable Energy Implementation in Marine Climate Islands
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
The UK has set a Net Zero target by 2050, which means no longer adding to the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Read more
