Life Cycle Energy Saving Strategies and Evaluation Framework for Pre-1919 Constructions
Background. Buildings account for approximately 40% of energy consumption and 30% of carbon emissions in the UK. Energy saving in the built environment is a critical focus area to meet government targets for reducing carbon emissions, which are supported by the continuous updates to building regulations. Read more
Sustainability as a Target Value to Strengthen Decarbonization in the Built Environment!
Our time is characterized by climate changes that impose sustainability in every industrial activity, an additional objective to our design and construction processes. Read more
Fibre-reinforced geopolymer concrete utilising waste materials
The UK's vision for net-zero is a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050. The UK's net-zero strategy outlines proposals to decarbonize all sectors of the UK economy. Read more

Project Abstract. We are seeking an ambitious PhD candidate to join a cutting-edge research project aiming to map the solar photovoltaic (PV) potential for existing building stocks in the UK through the application of deep learning on satellite and aerial image data. Read more
Low Carbon Concrete Modular Pavement Design
Challenges facing the sustainability impact of concrete in 21st century construction includes unsustainable Embodied CO2 (ECO2) with over-reliance of natural aggregate that contribute to diverse anthropogenic effects. Read more
Integrated design approaches of thermo-active building envelope for near zero carbon buildings and environmental sustainability
The construction sector has seen a high share of energy-related carbon emissions globally due to building operation, posing a great threat to achieving net zero carbon targets by 2050. Read more
Evaluating the meaning and distribution of ‘Tree Equity’ in Surrey: An interdisciplinary approach
Having access to trees reduces respiratory illness and improves mental health and well-being (Pataki et al 2021). Tress also provide protection from climate extremes such as flooding and heatwaves (Leets et al 2022). Read more
Urban forms for the net zero carbon city: Exploration of the interplay of housing densities and carbon sinks
Cities can play a relevant role in reducing GHG emissions. Scholars agree that in general terms compacter cities are responsible for lower emissions of GHG per capita and spare soil. Read more
