Living with extreme heat
Climate change is increasing global temperatures, leading to periods of extreme heat in temperate regions, e.g. in the UK. Cooling can mitigate the impacts of heat, with air-conditioning (AC) widely considered the most effective solution. A projected rise in extreme heat events in temperate climates is likely to trigger a growth in AC uptake, with negative implications for carbon emissions and inequality. Research on how heat is experienced and p…
People centric policy is needed to create a clean cooling pathway for UK homes
As the climate continues to warm, overheating is becoming increasingly common, creating a range of heat-health issues, and leading to a growing demand for space cooling. How that cooling is provided is important, as there are passive and low impact options available, as well as more environmentally damaging active cooling. Without policy intervention, air conditioning (a form of active cooling) could easily become the default solution for cooling…
From data to strata? How design professionals “see” energy use in buildings
Improving design for efficient energy use in the built environment is a critical area for decarbonisation policy and practice. To date, this research emphasises improving tools and technology for predicting and managing energy use in buildings. No studies to date have explored how energy use is conceptualised by building design professionals. As such, this paper asks - how do architects and engineers ‘see’ and perceive energy use in UK Higher Edu…
Australian transnational vocational education and training provisions
In an era of globalisation and economic competitiveness, Australia plays a major role in assisting other countries’ governments to build their workforce through the provision of vocational education programs. This is referred to as transnational education. It encompasses any educational service or product offered by an educational institution based in one country to students in another. The advantages of the provision of these programs include ex…
Setting the Standard for Green Infrastructure
Green infrastructure is an essential component of health and sustainable places. The quality of green infrastructure often represents a missed opportunity to achieve this. This paper presents a review examining how built environment assessment systems evaluate the quality of green infrastructure. This was used to develop proposals for a new benchmark, which were examined by experts in terms of the demand, scope and operation. The findings suggest…
