Study of CO2 bubble dynamics in seawater from QICS field Experiment (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chen, B., Dewar, M., Sellami, N., Stahl, H., & Blackford, J. (2013). Study of CO2 bubble dynamics in seawater from QICS field Experiment. In AGU Fall Meeting Abstracts (OS12A-06)

One of the concerns of employing CCS at engineering scale is the risk of leakage of storage CO2 on the environment and especially on the marine life. QICS, a scientific research project was launched with an aim to study the effects of a potential lea... Read More about Study of CO2 bubble dynamics in seawater from QICS field Experiment.

Optical analysis of a CPC based CPV/T system for application in the kingdom of saudi arabia (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Baig, H., Sellami, N., Bahaidarah, H., & Mallick, T. (2013, September). Optical analysis of a CPC based CPV/T system for application in the kingdom of saudi arabia. Presented at 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, Paris, France

Saudi Arabia receives an average insolation of 6 kWh/m2/day, making it one of the most likely candidates for a country to be using solar energy for meeting its energy needs in the near future. The energy from the sun can be directly converted into el... Read More about Optical analysis of a CPC based CPV/T system for application in the kingdom of saudi arabia.

Risk and Uncertainty in Sustainable Building Performance (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sajjadian, S. M., Lewis, J., & Sharples, S. Risk and Uncertainty in Sustainable Building Performance. Presented at 4th International Conference in Sustainability in Energy and Buildings (SEB´12), Stockholm, Sweden

Decision-making in the design of sustainable building envelopes will mostly consider the trade-off between initial cost and energy savings. However, this leads to an insufficiently holistic approach to the assessment of the sustainable performance of... Read More about Risk and Uncertainty in Sustainable Building Performance.

Interpretation and determination of thermal comfort in climate change context (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sajjadian, S., Lewis, J., & Sharples, S. (2013). Interpretation and determination of thermal comfort in climate change context. In Proceedings of IPGRC 2013: International post graduate research conference (1106-1113)

Thermal comfort is a complicatedsubjectand is thus hard to quantify generally and specificallyandthe existing quantification methods are unlikely to be reliable for naturally ventilated houses. The challenge for designers is to produce a com... Read More about Interpretation and determination of thermal comfort in climate change context.

Liquid level monitoring using passive RFID tags (2013)
