There is a trend towards reducing heating and cooling requirements of buildings by using high levels of
insulation, minimizing thermal bridging, and ensuring excellent air tightness, together with the operation of ...
Nowadays, control of heating, cooling and ventilation equipment operation is mainly achieved via timers with fixed setback schedules, configured using experience and standard models of space occupancy. Applying generic ...
Many economics theories suggest that the assignment of workers to occupations changes over the business cycle: expansions allow workers to upgrade to occupations that pay higher wages and require more skill. This paper ...
In modern energy aware buildings, lighting control systems are put in place so to maximise the energy-efficiency of
the lighting system without effecting the comfort of the occupant.
In many cases this involves utilising ...
Sensing, monitoring and actuating systems are expected to play a key role in reducing buildings overall energy consumption. Leveraging sensor systems to support energy efficiency in buildings poses novel research challenges ...

A prime objective for liaison librarians is the development of information literacy (IL) skills programmes within school curricula. This poster illustrates the need for and the development of an embedded IL programme for ...
Classical equilibrium molecular dynamics(MD) simulations have been performed to investigate dynamical properties of cage radial breathing modes and intra- and inter-cage hydrogen migration in both pure hydrogen and mixed ...
Who pays for future pension liabilities? In countries that have extensive private pension systems such as the US, UK and Ireland, the private sector largely takes care of itself through either occupational or personal ...
Employer-provided health insurance in the United States is suspected of restricting job mobility, resulting in “job lock.” Previous research on job lock finds mixed results using several methodologies. We take a new ...
