A Review on Blue Roofs in new UK Constructions (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Jack, J., & Sajjadian, S. M. (2024). A Review on Blue Roofs in new UK Constructions. In Sustainability in Energy and Buildings 2023 (79-87). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-8501-2

Flooding causes significant risk to the UK’s infrastructure and the need for additional stormwater management systems is growing rapidly. The demand for housing, lack of land, cramped housing with no gardens, urban cooling, air pollution and aestheti... Read More about A Review on Blue Roofs in new UK Constructions.

Vacuum Insulation Panels for Domestic New Builds and Refurbishment in Scotland (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Mitchell, N., & Sajjadian, S. M. (2024). Vacuum Insulation Panels for Domestic New Builds and Refurbishment in Scotland. In Sustainability in Energy and Buildings 2023. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-8501-2_1

Insulations have fundamental role in buildings’ thermal performance by assisting in reducing heat loss and excessive heat gain through the thermal envelope, which subsequently reduces the demand on heating and cooling systems. Increased energy perfor... Read More about Vacuum Insulation Panels for Domestic New Builds and Refurbishment in Scotland.
