Thermal Comfort: Climate Change and the Environmental Design of Buildings in the United Kingdom
Jacob N. Hacker,Michael Holmes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a qualitative assessment is made through consideration of building design weather years'morphed' under the UKCIP02 scenarios and a quantitative investigation is then made through dynamic thermal modelling of three notional case study office buildings under morphed weather years for London, Manchester and Edinburgh for the UKCP02 Medium-High emissions scenario.
Lean construction trial on a highways maintenance project
TL;DR: In this paper, a highway maintenance project using lean thinking is described, where a buffered program, four-week look-ahead programs and weekly programme plans are used to: undertake constraints analysis; measure planned activities completed each week; and analyse root causes of delay.
