The role of aesthetics in energy-retrofit strategies: the case of solid wall houses in the UK (2021)
Thesis

Solid wall dwellings are responsible for 36% of the carbon emission from the
domestic sector in the UK. Among energy retrofit measures, Solid Wall
Insulation (SWI) is the most effective in reducing energy demand. However,
the current rate for insu... Read More about The role of aesthetics in energy-retrofit strategies: the case of solid wall houses in the UK.

Efficient management of environmental control within electrical substations for decarbonisation purposes (2021)
Thesis
Collett, M. Efficient management of environmental control within electrical substations for decarbonisation purposes. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Decarbonisation of building operations is identified as a key component of national decarbonisation strategies. Reducing the energy demand of buildings is to be achieved through more stringent regulation for new construction and the retrofitting of e...
