Efficient management of environmental control within electrical substations for decarbonisation purposes (2021)
Thesis
Collett, M. Efficient management of environmental control within electrical substations for decarbonisation purposes. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Decarbonisation of building operations is identified as a key component of national decarbonisation strategies. Reducing the energy demand of buildings is to be achieved through more stringent regulation for new construction and the retrofitting of e...

An evaluation of architects' readiness for conducting energy modelling using BIM tools to achieve high energy performance buildings in the UK and Canada (2020)
Thesis
Karjalian Chaijani, M. An evaluation of architects' readiness for conducting energy modelling using BIM tools to achieve high energy performance buildings in the UK and Canada. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Buildings, consume more than 30% of the world's energy and is the world's largest energy
consuming sector, contributing nearly a quarter of the total global greenhouse gas emissions.
Global warming is the result of emission of greenhouse gases, and... Read More about An evaluation of architects' readiness for conducting energy modelling using BIM tools to achieve high energy performance buildings in the UK and Canada.

A study into the variability of UK domestic energy assessments
Thesis
Gledhill, T. A study into the variability of UK domestic energy assessments. (Thesis). University of Salford

In the UK, the residential sector accounts for around 29% of overall energy consumption. After transport, it is the largest single consumer of energy, and is responsible for approximately 14.5% of greenhouse gas emissions. There is a growing need to...
