The UK is implementing different types of policies to encourage the use of renewable energy for electricity generation. Currently, the UK is falling behind other European countries in this respect.Hence, co-operatives play an important role in helpin...

Evaluation of the accuracy of mathematical models through use of multiple metrics. (2011)
Journal Article
Caliskan, N., Jadraque, E., Tham, Y. W., & Muneer, T. (2011). Evaluation of the accuracy of mathematical models through use of multiple metrics. Sustainable Cities and Society SCC, 1, 63-66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2011.02.001

Engineering practise heavily relies on the development and use of mathematical models. In this article a number of appropriate metrics have been selected to provide an insight in the validation of models and also to obtain a figure of merit for any g...

Inter-relationship between mean-daily irradiation and temperature, and decomposition models for hourly irradiation and temperature (2011)
Journal Article
Gago, E. J., Etxebarria, S., Tham, Y. W., Aldali, Y., & Muneer, T. (2011). Inter-relationship between mean-daily irradiation and temperature, and decomposition models for hourly irradiation and temperature. International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 6, 22-37. https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctq039

Terrestrial temperature records have existed for centuries. These records are available for very many locations. Temperature is indeed the most widely measured meteorological parameter. In contrast, solar radiation being a parameter of secondary impo...

An examination of UKCIP CP02 and CP09 data sets for the UK climate related to their use in building design (2011)
Journal Article
Tham, Y. W., Muneer, T., Levermore, G. J., & Chow, D. (2011). An examination of UKCIP CP02 and CP09 data sets for the UK climate related to their use in building design. Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 32, 207-228. https://doi.org/10.1177/0143624410389396

The climate is changing, both globally and in the UK. To adapt effectively, engineers and planners need as much information as possible on how the climate will evolve. The UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP) provided this in 2002 with UKCIP02 and th...
