Shifting the energy balance – understanding the end-users’ needs for energy information in buildings
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Morton, A., Reeves, A., & Bull, R. (2022, June). Shifting the energy balance – understanding the end-users’ needs for energy information in buildings. Presented at 3rd International Conference on Energy Research & Social Science, Manchester, UK

We are often told we have power at our fingertips when it comes to technology now with more control and connectivity with recent advances, let alone the potential possibilities from future technology. But what does this mean for energy, and more spec... Read More about Shifting the energy balance – understanding the end-users’ needs for energy information in buildings.

Use of Deep Geothermal Energy to Supply Hot Water to a Village in Scotland
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Penman, D., Muhammad-Sukki, F., Hawa Abu-Bakar, S., Bani, N. A., & Mas'ud, A. A. (2023, July). Use of Deep Geothermal Energy to Supply Hot Water to a Village in Scotland. Paper presented at World Renewable Energy Congress XXII (WREC2023), Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Malaysia

This paper explores the possibility of utilising geothermal energy in an existing district heat network in the Aberdeenshire village of Ban-chory to provide hot water by the creation of a hypothetical geothermal well. It considers a simulated deep ge... Read More about Use of Deep Geothermal Energy to Supply Hot Water to a Village in Scotland.

Explainable Representations of the Social State: A Model for Social Human-Robot Interactions
Preprint / Working Paper
Hernandez Garcia, D., Yu, Y., Sieinska, W., Part, J. L., Gunson, N., Lemon, O., & Dondrup, C. Explainable Representations of the Social State: A Model for Social Human-Robot Interactions

In this paper, we propose a minimum set of concepts and signals needed to track the social state during Human-Robot Interaction. We look into the problem of complex continuous interactions in a social context with multiple humans and robots, and disc...
