Post-Disaster Post-Conflict Emergency Shelters: A Holistic Approach (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
D'Amico, B., Pomponi, L., Montaruli, M., Alshawawreh, L., Snaddon, S., Moghayedi, A., Windapo, A., Sibanda, G., & Pomponi, F. (2019, September). Post-Disaster Post-Conflict Emergency Shelters: A Holistic Approach. Poster presented at RISE Awards 2019, Ipswich, UK

The constrained environment dominating Post-disaster Post-sheltering design solutions often results in a lack of consideration of sustainability and social dimensions. Neglecting sustainability has severe practical consequences on both people and the... Read More about Post-Disaster Post-Conflict Emergency Shelters: A Holistic Approach.

Life Cycle Environmental Impact Assessment of Contemporary and Traditional Housing in Palestine (2019)
Journal Article
Piroozfar, P., Pomponi, F., & El-Alem, F. (2019). Life Cycle Environmental Impact Assessment of Contemporary and Traditional Housing in Palestine. Energy and Buildings, 202, Article 109333. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2019.109333

Residential buildings consume a vast amount of energy throughout their whole-life cycles with the subsequent greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted in the atmosphere. This phenomenon will only be exacerbated by projected trends in excessive urbanisation and...

A compactness measure of sustainable building forms (2019)
Journal Article
D'Amico, B., & Pomponi, F. (2019). A compactness measure of sustainable building forms. Royal Society Open Science, 6(6), 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.181265

Global population growth and urbanisation require countless more buildings in this century, causing an unprecedented increase in energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, waste generation, and resource use. It is imperative to approach maximal ef... Read More about A compactness measure of sustainable building forms.

Uncertainty Analysis in Embodied Carbon Assessments: What Are the Implications of Its Omission? (2018)
Book Chapter
Mendoza Beltran, M. A., Pomponi, F., Guinée, J. B., & Heijungs, R. (2018). Uncertainty Analysis in Embodied Carbon Assessments: What Are the Implications of Its Omission?. In F. Pomponi, C. De Wolf, & A. Moncaster (Eds.), Embodied Carbon in Buildings (3-21). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-72796-7_1

Embodied carbon assessments of buildings are not methodologically very different from the more well-known life cycle assessments (LCAs). In particular, the two also share the frequent lack of uncertainty analysis in many assessments produced by acade...

Scrutinising embodied carbon in buildings: the next performance gap made manifest. (2017)
Journal Article

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is becoming increasingly mainstream as an early-stage design-decision tool for buildings. Still, there are considerable variations in how the method is currently used, leading to limitations in comparing the results and th...
