Hybrid life cycle assessment (LCA) will likely yield more accurate results than process-based LCA (2017)
Journal Article
Pomponi, F., & Lenzen, M. (2017). Hybrid life cycle assessment (LCA) will likely yield more accurate results than process-based LCA. Journal of Cleaner Production, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2017.12.119

We analyse the comparative investigation into truncation vs. aggregation errors of process-based and hybrid LCA by Yang et al. 2017. We analyse the validity of their findings when the hypothetical five-sector economy is altered to account for realist...

A novel cost-optimizing demand response control for a heat pump heated residential building (2017)
Journal Article
Arabzadeh, V., Alimohammadisagvand, B., Jokisalo, J., & Siren, K. (2018). A novel cost-optimizing demand response control for a heat pump heated residential building. Building Simulation, 11(3), 533-547. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12273-017-0425-5

The present article describes the integration of a data-driven predictive demand response control for residential buildings with heat pump and on-site energy generation. The data driven control approach schedules the heating system of the building. I... Read More about A novel cost-optimizing demand response control for a heat pump heated residential building.

Transfer Functions of Infinite-Dimensional Systems: Positive Realness and Stabilization (2017)
Journal Article
Guiver, C., Logemann, H., & Opmeer, M. R. (2017). Transfer Functions of Infinite-Dimensional Systems: Positive Realness and Stabilization. Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems, 29, Article 20 (2017). https://doi.org/10.1007/s00498-017-0203-z

We consider a general class of operator-valued irrational positive-real functions with an emphasis on their frequency-domain properties and the relation with stabilization by output feedback. Such functions arise naturally as the transfer functions o... Read More about Transfer Functions of Infinite-Dimensional Systems: Positive Realness and Stabilization.

The role of reporting mechanisms in transport policy implementation by local authorities in England (2017)
Journal Article
McTigue, C., Rye, T., & Monios, J. (2017). The role of reporting mechanisms in transport policy implementation by local authorities in England. Case Studies on Transport Policy, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cstp.2017.12.002

The UK Transport Act 2000 made a number of reforms, requiring all local transport authorities in England, outside of London, to produce a local transport plan (LTP). A separate annual delivery report was also required to show how the LTP was progress...

Permeable Pavement Systems: State of the Art (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pantsi, C., Arthur, S., Wright, G., & Alsubih, M. (2017, December). Permeable Pavement Systems: State of the Art. Presented at 14th IWA/IAHR International Conference on Urban Drainage, Prague

One of the most effective and prevalent types of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) is permeable pavement systems. Permeable pavement systems allow effective management of surface water runoff and are an efficient method of improving water quality.... Read More about Permeable Pavement Systems: State of the Art.

Sensor faults detection and classification using SVM with diverse features (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
