Understanding the impacts of woodland creation on land values in England
Research Group:
The Urban Institute
Project Aim. The project aims to enhance our understanding of what the impact is of planting trees on both the value of land in England and the cash flow of landowners. Read more
Understanding the Scottish rural land market in the context of the climate and biodiversity crises
Research Group:
The Urban Institute
Project Aim. This project aims to enhance our understanding of the nature and role of the Scottish rural land market and how this influences not just land ownership patterns but also land use and management practices. Read more
The influence of particle characteristics on the field-scale geomechanical behaviour of soils
It is well recognised that many geotechnical phenomena, such as liquefaction, crushing, dissolution effects and failure are affected by macro-scale properties such as initial density, anisotropy, permeability and compressibility, amongst others. Read more
Recycling Polymeric-based Composites for Construction Applications
In the UK, glass fibre-reinforced plastic (GFRP) contributes to 75,000 tons end of life waste in addition to 6,200 tons of production waste. 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
Spatial decision support analysis for sustainable mobility policies.
This PhD project aims to develop a spatial framework to integrate sustainable mobility into current urban transport planning policies. 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
Housing inequalities in Scotland
A key area of academic and policy interest in the built environment considers the current housing shortage and housing inequalities in Scotland. Read more
Urban Facilities Management in the Smart Places Ecosystem
Growing areas of academic and policy interest in the built environment consider the role of cities as homes to the majority of the world’s population and key drivers for health and wellbeing, resilience and sustainable development. 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
Vibrational Performance of timber floor - an Investigation of influence of construction parameters
Traditional timber floor systems are usually composed of a series of parallel timber joists (eg. solid and engineered I-joist or Laminated-Veneer-Lumber) which support wood-based sheathing. Read more
Data-driven blockchain system implementation for effective project delivery and built asset management.
Blockchain is a distributed ledger containing a growing list of blocks that include records of data and transactions that are cryptographically linked together to enhance its immutability. Read more
Decision Support Models for Modern Insulations
Greenhouse gas emission reduction in the built environment requires lower U-Values for external building envelopes, the traditional insulation types may no longer be optimum solutions for new dwellings or refurbishment of the existing homes. Read more
Building Performance in a Changing Climate
Despite the fact that many studies have been undertaken relating to climate change risks, there is still an urgent need for further investigations on the future performance of buildings under a changing climate. Read more
What Leads to Low-Performance Buildings in Spreading Viruses – An Evidence-Based Framework for Office Buildings
The Covid-19 pandemic has emphasized, once again, the role of the built environment sector in users health and safety. Read more
