Causal ML for fair energy policy interventions: estimating impact heterogeneity of insulation programs via do-calculus (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
D'Amico, B. (2025, September). Causal ML for fair energy policy interventions: estimating impact heterogeneity of insulation programs via do-calculus. Presented at 24th UK Workshop on Computational Intelligence (UKCI 2025), Edinburgh

Modern machine learning excels at pattern recognition but often fails to support decision-making, as it cannot distinguish correlation from causation. This is a critical limitation in high-stakes domains, where relying on statistical associations can...

This paper introduces... Read More about Bamboo scrimber dowels for novel engineered wood and bamboo connections: A preliminary investigation.

Net Zero Emissions Buildings, Shifting the Focus from Energy Efficient to Whole Life Carbon Emission: A Review Study (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Obead, R., D'Amico, B., & Khaddour, L. (2024, April). Net Zero Emissions Buildings, Shifting the Focus from Energy Efficient to Whole Life Carbon Emission: A Review Study. Presented at Environmental Design, Material Science, and Engineering Technologies conference, Dubai, UAE

Buildings’ construction and operation are significant contributors to global world emissions. Therefore, reducing emissions in this sector is an essential step in global efforts toward a zero-emission economy. As a response to this need, much researc...
