Prediction of airborne sound transmission across a timber–concrete composite floor using Statistical Energy Analysis (2016)
Journal Article
Churchill, C., & Hopkins, C. (2016). Prediction of airborne sound transmission across a timber–concrete composite floor using Statistical Energy Analysis. Applied Acoustics, 110, 145-159. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2016.03.031

This paper concerns the development and experimental validation of prediction models using Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) to calculate the airborne sound insulation of a timber–concrete composite floor. The complexity in modelling this floor is du... Read More about Prediction of airborne sound transmission across a timber–concrete composite floor using Statistical Energy Analysis.

A parametric study of the acoustic properties of thermal cladding systems (2021)
Journal Article
Churchill, C., Bednar, T., Müllner, H., Neusser, M., & Hinterseer, S. (2021). A parametric study of the acoustic properties of thermal cladding systems. Applied Acoustics, 173, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2020.107656

Thermal cladding systems have developed and modernised since the first systems were implemented, and predictions of single figure sound insulation improvement, ΔRW, based on the natural frequency, f0, of the spring-mass covering may no longer be reli...

Renovation and innovation using thermal insulation lining systems - Acoustic performance (2021)
Journal Article
Churchill, C., Bednar, T., Müllner, H., Neusser, M., & Hinterseer, S. (2021). Renovation and innovation using thermal insulation lining systems - Acoustic performance. Building and Environment, 196, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2021.107807

Retrofit and design of thermal cladding systems provide an opportunity to improve the acoustic properties of a building. However, the complexity of the calculation process to predict sound insulation improvement may inhibit rather than encourage nove...

Technological advancements associated with Industry 4.0 drive a paradigm shift with economic and social consequences where digitalization, robotization, and other emerging technologies reshape the interconnection between organizations. Critical areas... Read More about Implementing Industry 4.0 technologies: Future roles in purchasing and supply management.

Enhancing green infrastructure in cities: Urban car parks as an opportunity space (2023)
Journal Article
Evans, A., & Hardman, M. (2023). Enhancing green infrastructure in cities: Urban car parks as an opportunity space. Land Use Policy, 134, 106914. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landusepol.2023.106914

Interest in radical solutions to embedding Green Infrastructure (GI) into the built environment are at an all-time high. With land value often preventing more mundane forms of GI, key actors, such as planners, developers, architects and others, are i...
