Report
Blazejewski, L., Sherriff, G., & Davies, N. (2020). Delivering the last mile : scoping the potential for E-cargo bikes

Transport is a major contributor to urban greenhouse gas
emissions and therefore of priority in mitigating climate
change. In responding to multiple pressures that include
development, population growth and recent marked
increases in online shopp... Read More about Delivering the last mile : scoping the potential for E-cargo bikes.

The validity of the index of vulnerable homes : evidence from consumers vulnerable to energy poverty in the UK (2020)
Journal Article

Energy poverty is a multidimensional issue, and this means that it is difficult to understand the different levels of vulnerability to this phenomenon and its relationship with households’ quality of life. This paper presents the validation of an inn... Read More about The validity of the index of vulnerable homes : evidence from consumers vulnerable to energy poverty in the UK.

Transferring the index of vulnerable homes : application at the local-scale in England to assess fuel poverty vulnerability (2019)
Journal Article

Fuel poverty, or energy poverty, has traditionally been associated with households that cannot afford to keep their homes adequately warm and/or cool due to low income and energy inefficient dwellings. Recent studies show a need for a good understand... Read More about Transferring the index of vulnerable homes : application at the local-scale in England to assess fuel poverty vulnerability.

Modernity, materiality and domestic technology : a case study of cooling and heating from South Australia (2019)
Journal Article
Goodchild, B., Ambrose, A., Berry, S., Maye-Banbury, A., Moore, T., & Sherriff, G. (2020). Modernity, materiality and domestic technology : a case study of cooling and heating from South Australia. Housing, Theory and Society, 37(3), 357-377. https://doi.org/10.1080/14036096.2019.1600577

This paper uses oral history as an appropriate method to reveal how residents in the “green village” of Lochiel Park, South Australia, have changed their heating and cooling practises over their life courses. The analysis shows how concepts of modern... Read More about Modernity, materiality and domestic technology : a case study of cooling and heating from South Australia.
