Energy consumption and modelling of the climate control system in the electric vehicle (2018)
Journal Article
Doyle, A., & Muneer, T. (2018). Energy consumption and modelling of the climate control system in the electric vehicle. Energy Exploration and Exploitation, https://doi.org/10.1177/0144598718806458

With the introduction of electric vehicles in the automobile market, limited information is available on how the battery’s energy consumption is distributed. This paper focuses on the energy consumption of the vehicle when the heating and cooling sy... Read More about Energy consumption and modelling of the climate control system in the electric vehicle.

Enhancement of Albedo for Solar Energy Gain with Particular Emphasis on Overcast Skies (2018)
Journal Article
Gul, M., Kotak, Y., Muneer, T., & Ivanova, S. (2018). Enhancement of Albedo for Solar Energy Gain with Particular Emphasis on Overcast Skies. Energies, 11(11), 2881. https://doi.org/10.3390/en11112881

In the absence of ground reflected radiation measured data, an average albedo value of 0.2, which describes the reflective properties of the bare ground is generally used. The variation of albedo based on different foreground surfaces and under diffe... Read More about Enhancement of Albedo for Solar Energy Gain with Particular Emphasis on Overcast Skies.

Parked electric car's cabin heat management using photovoltaic powered ventilation system (2018)
Journal Article
Kolhe, M., Adhikari, S., & Muneer, T. (2019). Parked electric car's cabin heat management using photovoltaic powered ventilation system. Applied Energy, 233-234, 403-411. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2018.10.012

This paper explores the use of electric car roof mounted photovoltaic (PV) powered ventilation for cabin heat management/ventilation. A fully-functional Renault Zoe electric car has been used for performance evaluation of parked electric car ventila...

Numerical and empirical evaluation of a novel building integrated collector storage solar water heater (2018)
Journal Article
Garnier, C., Muneer, T., & Currie, J. (2018). Numerical and empirical evaluation of a novel building integrated collector storage solar water heater. Renewable Energy, 126, 281-295. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2018.03.041

Integrated collector storage is a long established simple low cost solar water heater configuration combining the solar collector with a storage tank into a single unit. Previous studies have shown the potential of integrated collector storage solar...
