The Critical Role of IoT for Enabling the UK’s Built Environment Transition to Net Zero (2025)
Journal Article

The built environment contributes approximately 25% of the UK’s total greenhouse gas emissions, positioning it as a critical sector in the national net-zero strategy. This review investigates the enabling role of the domestic smart metering infrastru... Read More about The Critical Role of IoT for Enabling the UK’s Built Environment Transition to Net Zero.

Comparisons between the UK Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) and Home Energy Model (HEM) for a zero-carbon ready home (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The decarbonisation of the building sector, a significant sources of carbon emissions, is critical for achieving the UK's net-zero ambitions. To improve the accuracy of residential energy assessments, alongside the anticipated Future Homes Standard (...

Energy House 2.0, the design, construction, and commissioning process of a housing testing facility (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The global issue of climate change is now readily accepted by most. Buildings contribute 40% of EU emissions, so the need to address mitigation is clear, but changing climate also creates a need for adaptation in buildings. Modelling is an accepted w...

Assessing Building Performance in A Low Carbon Home: A comparative study of the energy modelling representing design and as-built phase (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Buildings, as the second-largest carbon emitter, play a significant role in decarbonising efforts to achieve net zero in the UK. The proposed Future Homes Standard aims to ensure a 75-80% reduction in carbon emissions by increasing the building energ...
