A Framework for Implementing Material Passports in the UK Construction Industry
The UK construction industry is undergoing a transformative shift toward sustainability, driven by the need to reduce carbon emissions, minimise waste, and improve resource efficiency in this sector. 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
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
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
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
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
Fire Dynamics, Material Flammability and Computer Modelling of Fire Phenomena
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Fire dynamics and material flammability are important research areas within fire safety engineering (FSE) in identifying and understanding the mechanisms related to the degradation, ignition and burning of materials and subsequent the fire spread and development with the ultimate goal to improve fire safety (people and structure) in buildings and other spaces. 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
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
Tyre / surface interface using AI
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
This project will use AI to investigate the tyre / surface interface using Agile Transformation as its basis. The project is founded on 40 years experience and collaborative networks with investigating this interface by the Lead PI. 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
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
Co-creating construction work environment to meet the needs of an ageing workforce
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
The UK has an ageing population, including an ageing construction workforce. The number of younger people entering the construction workforce is significantly lower than the number of people retiring. Read more
Managing the risk of social value gap in infrastructure projects
Infrastructure projects are critical to foster countries’ economic development, prosperity and growth. It has been reported that till 2030, there will be a need to invest on average 3 trillion USD annually to keep pace with population growth. Read more
