Research summary
Sam’s interest and expertise in field measurements and monitoring has led to his involvement in a range of projects, investigating aspects of energy and environmental performance in domestic and non-domestic buildings. The TOP project (‘Total Performance’ of Low Carbon Buildings in China and the UK) examines the inter-linked issues of energy/Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in case study buildings in both the UK and China. Sam is also currently involved in research projects looking at the impact of different ventilation strategies on indoor moisture levels (BRE100 homes), effective strategies to address indoor particulates (Quasimodo) and supports the UCL team participating in IEA-EBC Annex 79 (Occupant centric building design and operation).
Previous Projects include:
- Low Energy Ventilation Systems (Knowledge Transfer Partnership Ventive Ltd.) Supporting an experimental study into the performance of a natural ventilation system with heat recovery in UK classrooms (2016 – 2017).
- Insulating Thin Cavities project (2014 – 2015) with Avalon Sustainable Energy Solutions (DECC Energy Entrepreneurs Fund). Testing the application and performance of innovative solutions for hard to treat thin cavities.
- NHBC Co-heating Field Trials – Participant in field trials looking to assess the accuracy and reliability of co-heating tests (2012).
- Post-Contruction Testing at Derwenthope (Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust – 2012).
- TSB Building Performance and Evaluation Programme – Fabric testing of a number of , including co-heating tests, in-situ U-values, leakage tests and thermography (2011 – 2014).
- Participant in IEA-EBC Annex 58: Reliable building energy performance characterisation based on full scale dynamic measurements (2011 – 2014).
- Member of Zero Carbon Hub Performance Gap Review - Working Group 5b – Testing (2012 -2014).
Teaching summary
- Building Physics and Environment – A year 1 module, here the aim is to develop student understanding of key building physics principals and the role they play in achieving satisfactory indoor environmental conditions. This covers aspects of natural ventilation, thermal comfort, building acoustics and daylighting.
- Sense, Sensing and Controls – A year 3 module, this module integrates the human-centred process of designing an extensive engineering solution for environmental control systems. It provides an overview of the psychological and technical considerations that underpin design requirements and application through computer simulation of control systems with particular focus on building technologies.
