This paper describes the results of the European Inter-Laboratory Test (ILT) program, conducted for the determination of repeatability and reproducibility values for the laboratory measurements of airborne sound insulation of walls. A total of 24 lab... Read More about An inter-comparison of laboratory measurements of airborne sound insulation of lightweight plasterboard walls..

The water ingress characteristics of stressed masonry. (1999)
Thesis
Tait, C. J. The water ingress characteristics of stressed masonry. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3672

Water ingress, usually by wind-driven rain, is the main cause of premature
deterioration in masonry structures. Water acts as a transport mechanism for
aggressive chemicals and can also undergo freeze/thaw cycles leading to bursting of
the masonry... Read More about The water ingress characteristics of stressed masonry..

Evaluation of ventilation performance in public spaces. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Currie, J., & Capper, G. (1998, November). Evaluation of ventilation performance in public spaces. Presented at EPIC'98 2nd European conference on energy performance and indoor climate in buildings

Smoking restrictions in the workplace and increased health consciousness at home have seen a sizable reduction in the number of spaces where smoking is permissible. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ventilation in public houses,... Read More about Evaluation of ventilation performance in public spaces..

Life cycle assessment of multi-glazed windows (1998)
Thesis
Weir, G. F. Life cycle assessment of multi-glazed windows. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2747

In 1987 the World Commission on Environment and Development proposed a reduction in per capita energy consumption of 50%. Increasing demands, and initiatives of this nature, produce a need for more reliable assessment methods, measurement tools and i... Read More about Life cycle assessment of multi-glazed windows.
