Environmental sustainability in the construction Industry in developing countries: a study of embodied energy of low-cost housing. (2010)
Conference Proceeding
Mpakati Gama, E., Wamuziri, S., & Sloan, B. (2010). Environmental sustainability in the construction Industry in developing countries: a study of embodied energy of low-cost housing.

The embodied energy (EE) of a residential building is estimated at 20-40% of operation energy over its total usable life. However, this varies from one context to the other due to the primary energy used, technological advancement of a particular...

A comparison of modern methods of bathroom construction: a project case study. (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Taylor, M. D., Fisher, A., & Wamuziri, S. (2009). A comparison of modern methods of bathroom construction: a project case study.

Volumetric modules are often employed as an efficient and effective means of constructing highly serviced areas in buildings such as bathroom, kitchens and structures to house mechanical plant and equipment. Recent developments in structurally int... Read More about A comparison of modern methods of bathroom construction: a project case study..

Random acts of elasticity: MoE, G and EN408. (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Ridley-Ellis, D., Moore, J., & Khokhar, A. M. (2009). Random acts of elasticity: MoE, G and EN408.

The paper examines the variation in modulus of elasticity (MoE) and shear modulus (G) within sawn timber and the implications for testing timber in accordance with EN408:2003. A combination of mechanical testing and simple analytical modelling is us... Read More about Random acts of elasticity: MoE, G and EN408..
