Innovative and Sustainable Built Environment Technologies
The Innovative and Sustainable Built Environment Technologies (iSBET) research group investigates the technical, economic, management and application related performance of a range of sustainable and innovative technologies in the built environment field.
Our research interests include the following four areas:
Energy efficiency
Improving energy efficiency in buildings and other engineering systems within the built environment including Smart building technologies.
Low carbon buildings
Improving energy consumption through improvement in materials and the fabric of the building.
Renewable energy
Developing better understanding and technologies for renewable energy generation on small scale within the context of the built environment.
Innovation in design and management
Developing innovative management systems and approaches for sustainability, including business and operational management disciplines.
Enabling technologies
The iSBET research group uses diversity of enabling technologies including:
- condition monitoring
- infrared thermography
- sensors and instrumentations
