Adaptive behaviours and occupancy patterns in UK primary schools: Impacts on comfort and indoor quality
(2018-01-01)To improve the quality of school environment and reach state of comfort, it's important that teachers and students take appropriate personal and environmental adaptive behaviours. Studies on adaptive behaviours are mainly ... -
Operations on windows and external doors in UK primary schools and their effects on indoor environmental quality
(Elsevier, 2021-10-08)This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the predictors influencing operations on windows and external doors as well as their impact on IEQ, comfort and energy. The study was carried out in 31 naturally ventilated ... -
A longitudinal assessment of the energy and carbon performance of a Passivhaus university building in the UK
(Elsevier, 2021-12)There is a limited number of university buildings designed to the Passivhaus standard, therefore, only a few studies have assessed the standard's adoption in this context. This paper aims to address this significant gap ... -
Indoor air quality (IAQ) in naturally-ventilated primary schools in the UK: Occupant-related factors
(Elsevier BV, 2020-08)Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is affected by Context, Occupant and Building (COB) related factors. This paper evaluates IAQ as a function of occupant-related factors including occupants' Adaptive Behaviours (ABs), occupancy ... -
Developing a valid method to study adaptive behaviours with regard to IEQ in primary schools
(Elsevier BV, 2019-04)Adaptive behaviour impacts the classroom's environment and the student's comfort. Therefore, a deep understanding of students' adaptive behaviour is required. This study aims to develop a valid and reliable method to ... -
The impact of indoor environment quality (IEQ) on school children's overall comfort in the UK; a regression approach
(Elsevier BV, 2020-11)Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ) is grouped into four main categories: thermal comfort, indoor air quality (IAQ), visual and acoustic comfort. Individual aspects of IEQ are investigated to examine their impact on children's ... -
Energy and economic performance of rooftop PV panels in the hot and dry climate of Iran
(Elsevier BV, 2018-02)Photovoltaic (PV) Panels, one of the more promising renewable energy technologies, are growing rapidly nowadays, especially in developed countries. However, these systems have not achieved public acceptance in some countries ... -
The Evolutionary Process of Diagrid Structure Towards Architectural, Structural and Sustainability Concepts: Reviewing Case Studies
(OMICS Publishing Group, 2014-01-01)Recently the use of perimeter diagonals which resist lateral forces and carry gravity loads simultaneously without vertical columns has increased significantly and are known as ‘diagrid’. This structure is made up of ... -
Children's thermal comfort and adaptive behaviours; UK primary schools during non-heating and heating seasons
(Elsevier BV, 2020-05)This paper aims to study children's thermal comfort and related Adaptive Behaviours in UK primary schools. The study was carried out in 32 naturally-ventilated classrooms during Non-Heating (NH) and Heating (H) seasons. ... -
Developing a design framework to facilitate adaptive behaviours
(Elsevier BV, 2018-11)Adaptive behaviour has a significant impact on the quality of indoor environment, comfort, and energy consumption. Therefore, facilitating positive occupant behaviours will improve these three factors. The aim of this ...
