Integrating Building Information Modelling with Modern Methods of Construction for Sustainable Construction in the UK (2025)
Book Chapter

The integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) with Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) not only streamlines construction processes but also catalyses the achievement of sustainability benchmarks across a building’s life cycle. While existi... Read More about Integrating Building Information Modelling with Modern Methods of Construction for Sustainable Construction in the UK.

Developing a pavement condition assessment method for unpaved roads using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). (2025)
Journal Article

Approximately 95% of the total road network in Uganda is unpaved, and this heavy reliance on unpaved roads is predominant in most developing countries in the world. Consistent monitoring and evaluation of the condition of these unpaved roads is cruci...

Report

This report documents systematic reviews of research evidence on the effects of exposure to sound from Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) on humans and wildlife (specifically birds).

The reviews have been undertaken according to methodologies based o... Read More about D4.3 Systematic review and framework for testing unmanned aircraft systems noise impact on humans and wildlife.

Thermal Imaging in Building Diagnostics: A Systematic Review of Applications, Challenges, and Opportunities (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Thermal imaging, or infrared thermography, has become an indispensable tool in the building sector for non-invasive energy efficiency assessments, particularly for detecting heat loss, thermal bridging, and insulation defects. This paper presents a s... Read More about Thermal Imaging in Building Diagnostics: A Systematic Review of Applications, Challenges, and Opportunities.

A systematic quality evaluation of public participation in Environmental Impact Statements (EIS): Reflecting on practice in Nigeria (2025)
Journal Article

Infrastructure development is vital for economic growth but often leads to negative environmental, social, and public health impacts. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), produced during the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process, is crit...

Improving microgrid frequency stability through PI-PIDA-driven STATCOM optimization using a hybrid metaheuristic algorithm (2025)
Journal Article

Frequency instability caused by symmetrical and asymmetrical faults in a microgrid can cause significant oscillations and deviations from the nominal frequency. Therefore, there is a need to develop new control methods to ensure the rapid stabilizati...
