Thesis
Turner, N. Influence of BREEAM on commercial building users of small and medium enterprises in refurbished buildings. (Dissertation). University of Salford

BREEAM has been in existence since the early 1990s, currently there are over 550,000
BREEAM certified buildings with over 2 million registered globally (NBS, 2016).
According to Rhodes, C, Ward, M (2020) there are 5.9million Small and Medium Ente... Read More about Influence of BREEAM on commercial building users of small and medium enterprises in refurbished buildings.

If the Only Tool You Have Is a Hammer, You Will Treat Everything as a Nail: Exploring Why Construction Contractors Monetise Social Value (2021)
Journal Article
Watts, G., & Higham, A. (2021). If the Only Tool You Have Is a Hammer, You Will Treat Everything as a Nail: Exploring Why Construction Contractors Monetise Social Value. Journal of Leadership Accountability and Ethics, 18(3), https://doi.org/10.33423/jlae.v18i3.4405

The need to measure and communicate Social Value (SV) is now a priority for many construction contractors. However, this can prove difficult as there exists a conflict at the heart of SV between its subjective nature and the objective way SV is often...

Journal Article
Rahy, S., & Bass, J. (2022). Managing non‐functional requirements in agile software development. IET Software, 16(1), 60-72. https://doi.org/10.1049/sfw2.12037

Non‐functional requirements define qualities of the software system that ensure effectiveness while embedding any constraints and restrictions on the design. A challenge rises with agile implementation in handling non‐function requirements in regulat... Read More about Managing non‐functional requirements in agile software development.

Hygrothermal effects on the translaminar fracture toughness of a highly toughened aerospace CFRP: Experimental characterisation and model prediction (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The translaminar fracture toughness of wet (fully saturated) and dry (as manufactured) IM7/8552 laminates was measured using compact tension tests. Cross-ply ([90/0]8S) and quasi-isotropic ([90/45/0/-45]4S) laminates were tested at three different te...
