Visual comfort assessment of daylit and sunlit areas: A longitudinal field survey in classrooms in Kashan, Iran
(Elsevier BV, 2016-09)Visual comfort in schools enhances not only health and wellbeing, but also satisfaction and therefore learning and visual performance. This research aims at testing students’ evaluations on visual comfort through ... -
The gap between automated building management system and office occupants' manual window operations: Towards personalised algorithms
(Elsevier, 2021-12)This paper aims to demonstrate how knowledge acquired from occupants' manual window operations can be implemented into BMS automated window operation algorithms. Ten single-occupant offices were selected in a university ... -
The impact of courtyard compact urban fabric on its shading: case study of Mosul city, Iraq
(Elsevier, 2017-09)The courtyard pattern provides a comfortable environment in hot regions through supporting natural ventilation and protecting buildings from solar radiation. But, its performance depends on its urban fabric compactness ... -
Simulation of courtyard spaces in a desert climate
(Elsevier, 2017-12)Within the global trend of looking for energy efficient and environmentally comfortable buildings, the courtyard pattern has been investigated by many authors as an interesting solution for hot regions. Computer simulation ... -
Haunted Bodies: Cell Switching, Getting Lost and Adaptive Geographies
(The Centre for Philosophical Research, 2017-11-21)This article proposes the ideas of stochastic resonance and noise as devices with which to think of the body or self as plural and porous. Boundaries and surfaces are proposed as indefinite; cell switching and narratives ... -
Feeling, failure, fallacies
(Det Kgl. Bibliotek/Royal Danish Library, 2019-08-15)Digital culture has become instrumental for capturing and managing what Raymond Williams would once have called “structures of feeling”. The journal issue A Peer-Reviewed Journal About Machine Feeling alludes to this, and ... -
The Impact of Courtyard parameters on its shading level An experimental study in Baghdad, Iraq
(Elsevier BV, 2017-10)The courtyard pattern has been advocated to be thermally efficient for the hot-arid climatic zone. This paper investigates one of its environmental strategies: shading. By taking Baghdad as a case study, it presents an ... -
A method for estimating scheduled and manual override heating behaviour and settings from measurements in low energy UK homes
(Emerald, 2021-09-20)Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology for estimating scheduled and manual override heating events and heating settings from indoor air temperature and gas use measurements in UK homes. Design/me ... -
Creation through Polychronization
(The Centre for Philosophical Research, 2017-11-21)I have recently suggested that some of the processes involved in the collaborative composition of new music could be analogous to several ideas introduced by Izhikevich in his theory of cortical spiking neurons and simple ... -
Energy Waste in Buildings Due to Occupant Behaviour
(Elsevier BV, 2017-05)Occupants’ behaviour has a significant impact on the energy performance of buildings. A good understanding of how occupants use a building provides a possibility of promoting the building's energy efficiency through ...
