Research projects

EPSRC Smart Composite Material for Advanced Building Fenestration to Enhance Energy Efficiency : This is a timely project that directly targets the UKs need to reduce building end use energy demand and heat decarbonisation through developing smart composite material for advanced facades to control the energy flow (heat gain, loss, and daylight). The main goal of this ambitious project is to develop technology based on state of art techniques to enable end-users to reduced energy consumption while balancing visual comfort with hygrometric wellbeing. The overarching aim is to implement combined theoretical modelling and an experimental approach to develop and testnew window and façade technology based on smart composite material to achieve building energy reduction goals.
