Innovative Sustainable Technologies And Buildings Developed By The School Of The Built Environment: A Review
Résumé
The School of the Built Environment has a worldwide reputation for its innovative research into sustainable technologies including absorption/adsorption heat pumps, ejector refrigeration systems, desiccant technology, hybrid/solar driven CHP systems, solar/thermal systems and ground-source heat pumps. The School has obtained grants from the Engineering, Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the European Commission and industry to develop several new technologies, which have been licensed to industry. The School has also established new research facilities including the Marmont Centre for Renewable Energy and the David Wilson Eco-House. This paper reviews some of the School's recently funded research projects and facilities.
