Understanding human responses to air source heat pump noise: examining tonal changes and operating cycles (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Air Source Heat Pumps are pivotal in the Government of the United Kingdom's target of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. However, their widespread adoption faces challenges, with noise being among the main barriers to entry and a restrictin...

Higher-fidelity analysis of air source heat pump noise via scanning intensity measurement (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The need to shift to reduce carbon emissions to hit Net Zero is currently driving plans for large scale rollouts of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs), due to their increased thermal efficiency and lack of direct carbon emissions. Concern exists, however,... Read More about Higher-fidelity analysis of air source heat pump noise via scanning intensity measurement.

Using audio content and emotional response to predict soundscape perception through machine learning (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study is concerned with utilizing machine learning techniques for predicting soundscape perception by identifying the audio content of soundscapes and linking it with people's reported emotional responses. This research goal required developing... Read More about Using audio content and emotional response to predict soundscape perception through machine learning.

Understanding the indoor soundscape of study areas in terms of users' satisfaction, coping methods and perceptual dimensions (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The soundscape approach is not concerned with the sound level of an acoustic environment, but how it relates to human perception, how it is conceived by the individual and how it should be measured and managed. Even though it reached wide popularity... Read More about Understanding the indoor soundscape of study areas in terms of users' satisfaction, coping methods and perceptual dimensions.
