An occupant-centric assessment of the building performance gap in low utilisation, higher education facilities
… literature advocates that the occupants of buildings are the real consumers ofenergy, not the buildings. While this is a helpful philosophy for design and retrofit analysis, it is not entirely accommodating of operational building energy demand. An optimistic amendment would suggest that it …

Towards a robust life cycle assessment tool for sustainable pavement designs : quantifying context-specific impacts of pavement albedo
… ambient temperature and results in changes in building energy demand (BED). In the past, the impacts of pavement albedo were often ignored or quantified using very simple models. The net effect of RF and BED impacts in the context of pavement LCA remains unknown. This thesis presents a …
