Low Carbon Building Research Group
The LCB has an international profile in the field of carbon counting, building performance monitoring, post-occupancy evaluation, low-carbon retrofitting and climate change adaptation of buildings and neighbourhoods. The group also has world-leading expertise in the study of thermal comfort, in particular the adaptive approach based on field surveys. Publications from the group in low-carbon buildings and sustainable design are recognised international references. Other related areas of expertise include urban energy modelling using Geographical Information Systems (GIS), low carbon communities and design of low-energy buildings in diverse climates.
