Development of predictive control strategies for building climate control
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2018)The rapid growth in energy usage and CO2 emissions has become a critical issue for the whole world. It is noteworthy that buildings are a major contributor to global primary energy consumption. Among building services, use ... -
The impact of domestic wastewater treatment system effluent on private water wells: an evaluation of contamination fingerprinting techniques
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2017)The absence of a public water supply network in many rural areas of Ireland means that approximately 162,000 households rely on private wells for their water provision. In many cases such rural areas are also not connected ... -
