Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bros Williamson, J., Stinson, J., Garnier, C., & Currie, J. (2017, July). Discrepancies between theoretical and actual heating demand in Scottish modern dwellings. Presented at Passive Low Energy Architecture (PLEA) 2017 "Design to Thrive"

The study reports on the differences between the actual heat consumption profiles of twelve dwellings monitored for four years and their predicted heat demand profiles as calculated by the UK Government’s Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP). This mon... Read More about Discrepancies between theoretical and actual heating demand in Scottish modern dwellings.

Estimating metabolic heat loss in birds and mammals by combining infrared thermography with biophysical modelling (2011)
Journal Article
McCafferty, D. J., Gilbert, C., Paterson, W., Pomeroy, P. P., Thompson, D., Currie, J., & Ancel, A. (2011). Estimating metabolic heat loss in birds and mammals by combining infrared thermography with biophysical modelling.

Infrared thermography (IRT) is a technique that determines surface temperature based on physical laws of
radiative transfer. Thermal imaging cameras have been used since the 1960s to determine the surface
temperature patterns of a wide range of bir... Read More about Estimating metabolic heat loss in birds and mammals by combining infrared thermography with biophysical modelling.

The role of renewable and non-renewable sources for meeting future UK energy needs (2007)
Journal Article
