SARS-CoV-2, Ventilation Strategies, Thermal Comfort and Carbon Implications for Buildings (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Sajjadian, S. M. (2023). SARS-CoV-2, Ventilation Strategies, Thermal Comfort and Carbon Implications for Buildings. In PLEA STGO 2022: Book of Proceedings Volume 1 (160-164)

The spread of SARS-CoV-2 since 2019 has rapidly become a global crisis with unprecedented records of deaths and hospitalizations in the last century. The infectious particles spread more easily indoors than outdoors and therefore built environment se...

Benchmarking indoor headroom heights of residential buildings based on ASHRAE Standard 55 (2023)
Journal Article
Tajuddeen, I., & Sajjadian, S. M. (2023). Benchmarking indoor headroom heights of residential buildings based on ASHRAE Standard 55. Intelligent Buildings International, 15(3), 109-130. https://doi.org/10.1080/17508975.2023.2221840

The continuous design of residential buildings without comprehensive attention to the vital form and envelope related decision-making steps has necessitated this study. The research aims to uncover the impact of headroom heights of different resident... Read More about Benchmarking indoor headroom heights of residential buildings based on ASHRAE Standard 55.

Regression Models for Predicting the Global Warming Potential of Thermal Insulation Materials (2023)
Journal Article
Tajuddeen, I., Sajjadian, S. M., & Jafari, M. (2023). Regression Models for Predicting the Global Warming Potential of Thermal Insulation Materials. Buildings, 13(1), Article 171. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings13010171

The impacts and benefits of thermal insulations on saving operational energy have been widely investigated and well-documented. Recently, many studies have shifted their focus to comparing the environmental impacts and CO2 emission-related policies o...

A Critique on the UK’s Net Zero Strategy (2023)
Journal Article
Sajjadian, S. M. (2023). A Critique on the UK’s Net Zero Strategy. Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments, 56, Article 103003. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seta.2022.103003

Before the Covid-19 pandemic UK passed net-zero emission law legislation to become the first major economy in the world to end its contribution to global warming by 2050. Following the UK’s legislation to reach net-zero emissions, a long-term strateg... Read More about A Critique on the UK’s Net Zero Strategy.
