Energy aspects of default heating programmer settings. (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Nicholls, R. (2017, September). Energy aspects of default heating programmer settings. Presented at International Sustainable Ecological Engineering Design for Society, Leeds, UK

It is widely observed that there is a difference between the actual energy consumption of domestic buildings, as measured in use, compared to that predicted at the design stage. This is generally known as the ‘performance gap’. This discrepancy is a... Read More about Energy aspects of default heating programmer settings..

Measuring the embodied carbon content of concrete paving (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Nicholls, R., & Richardson, C. (2016, September). Measuring the embodied carbon content of concrete paving. Presented at International Sustainable Ecological Engineering Design for Society (SEEDS) Conference, Leeds, UK

This paper summarises the outcomes of a PhD research project by Richardson (2009) to measure the embodied carbon content of concrete paving and to reveal the barriers to its accurate measurement. This is a current area of research due to the concerns... Read More about Measuring the embodied carbon content of concrete paving.
