Municipal solid waste (MSW) is biodegradable in landfills under anaerobic conditions. The evolution of the biochemical, physical and mechanical characteristics of MSW are interdependent and is investigated first through an experiment and subsequently...

We analyse the comparative investigation into truncation vs. aggregation errors of process-based and hybrid LCA by Yang et al. 2017. We analyse the validity of their findings when the hypothetical five-sector economy is altered to account for realist...

A critical appraisal of BIM implementation in the context of environment performance enhancement in the construction industry. (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Robinson, M. (2017, April). A critical appraisal of BIM implementation in the context of environment performance enhancement in the construction industry. Poster presented at CIBSE Technical Symposium, Loughborough, UK

A mismatch has been observed between predicted energy performance and actual measured consumption, often termed the ‘performance gap’. This is a major concern given the significant contribution of the building sector to global energy use and greenhou...
