Journal Article
Shahzad, S., Calautit, J. K., Aquino, A. I., Nasir, D. S., & Hughes, B. R. (2017). A user-controlled thermal chair for an open plan workplace: CFD and field studies of thermal comfort performance. Applied energy, 207, 283-293. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2017.05.118

This study aims to improve user comfort and satisfaction regarding the thermal environment in the open plan office, which is a current challenge in the workplace addressed by limited research. The main difficulty in an open plan setting is that chang... Read More about A user-controlled thermal chair for an open plan workplace: CFD and field studies of thermal comfort performance.

Influence of urban form on the performance of road pavement solar collector system: Symmetrical and asymmetrical heights (2017)
Journal Article
Nasir, D. S., Hughes, B. R., & Calautit, J. K. (2017). Influence of urban form on the performance of road pavement solar collector system: Symmetrical and asymmetrical heights. Energy Conversion and Management, 149, 904-917. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2017.03.081

Recent works have highlighted the importance of mitigating the urban heat island effect using innovative technologies. Several studies have emphasised the capabilities of the road pavement solar collector system to dissipate high temperature from the...
