Why method matters: temporal, spatial and physical variations in LCA and their impact on choice of structural system
Journal Article
Moncaster, A., Pomponi, F., Symons, K., & Guthrie, P. (2018)
Why method matters: temporal, spatial and physical variations in LCA and their impact on choice of structural system. Energy and Buildings, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2018.05.039
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is increasingly used as an early-stage design-decision tool to support choices of structural system. However LCA modellers must first make numerous...
Measurement of Cycling Risk and Quantitative Policy
Presentation / Conference
Meade, S., Stewart, K., & Maher, M. (2018, May)
Measurement of Cycling Risk and Quantitative Policy. Paper presented at Scottish Transport Applications and Research (STAR) Conference 2018
