Sustainable energy for world economies (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Muneer, T. (2010, December). Sustainable energy for world economies. Presented at Energy Options Impact on Regional Security

Energy is inevitable for human life and a secure and accessible supply of energy is crucial for the sustainability of modern societies. Yet mankind now faces challenges of depletion of fossil fuel reserves, global warming and other environmental conc... Read More about Sustainable energy for world economies.

An examination of UKCIP02 and UKCP09 solar radiation data sets for the UK climate related to their use in building design (2010)
Journal Article
Tham, Y., Muneer, T., Levermore, G., & Chow, D. (2011). An examination of UKCIP02 and UKCP09 solar radiation data sets for the UK climate related to their use in building design. Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 32(3), 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...

Sol-air temperature and daylight illuminance profiles for the UKCP09 data sets (2010)
Journal Article
Tham, Y., & Muneer, T. (2011). Sol-air temperature and daylight illuminance profiles for the UKCP09 data sets. Building and Environment, 46, 1243-1250. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2010.11.014

To provide information on climate change, the UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP) provided the latest UKCP09data to a resolution of 5 km square grids for the UK. Those datasets were used in this study along with the historical measured data for two... Read More about Sol-air temperature and daylight illuminance profiles for the UKCP09 data sets.

Sustainable transport solution for a medium-sized town in Turkey—A case study (2010)
Journal Article
Muneer, T., Celik, A., & Caliskan, N. (2011). Sustainable transport solution for a medium-sized town in Turkey—A case study. Sustainable Cities and Society (SCS), 1(1), 29-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2010.08.004

The United Nations projects that 60% of the world's population will be living in urban areas by 2030. Cities account for 2% of the world's area but 75% of the world's energy consumption. For over a century, the automobile has offered affordable freed... Read More about Sustainable transport solution for a medium-sized town in Turkey—A case study.

Cutting vehicle emissions with regenerative braking (2010)
Journal Article
Clarke, P., Muneer, T., & Cullinane, K. (2010). Cutting vehicle emissions with regenerative braking. Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 15(3), 160-167. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2009.11.002

This paper presents an analysis of vehicle regenerative braking systems as a quick and relatively easy means of achieving higher overall fuel efficiency and lowering carbon emissions. The system involves the installation of an additional electric mot... Read More about Cutting vehicle emissions with regenerative braking.

Estimation of hourly averaged solar irradiation: evaluation of models (2010)
Journal Article
Tham, Y., Muneer, T., & Davison, B. (2010). Estimation of hourly averaged solar irradiation: evaluation of models. Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 31(1), 9-25. https://doi.org/10.1177/0143624409350547

Hourly solar radiation data are required in many building services applications. These are also reported in the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers Guides A & J. Data from 16 locations in the UK were used to evaluate the so called Li... Read More about Estimation of hourly averaged solar irradiation: evaluation of models.
