Environmental Behaviour and Decision Making - Evidence from Laboratory, Online and Natural Experiments
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Social Sciences & Philosophy. Discipline of Economics, 2022)Tackling climate change and keeping global temperatures from rising by more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels is one of the major and most challenging issues that our societies are facing. Households are among the ... -
Integrated transportation and land use regression modelling for nitrogen dioxide mitigation
(2023)The transport sector has been identified as one of the main contributors to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution in Ireland. This research develops an enhanced Wind Sector Land Use Regression (WS-LUR) model to estimate NO2 ... -
Local NO2 concentrations and asthma among over-50s in Ireland: A microdata analysis
(2021)Background: Links between air pollution and asthma are less well established for older adults than some younger groups. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations are widely used as an indicator of transport-related air pollution, ... -
Numerical modelling of the passive control of air pollution in asymmetrical urban street canyons using refined mesh discretization schemes
(2012)This study evaluates the potential of passive controls in asymmetrical street canyons to reduce personal exposure to air pollutants on footpaths. A passive control in the form of a low boundary wall (LBW) may act as a ... -
Reducing energy consumption and increasing filter life in HVAC systems using an aspiration efficiency reducer: Long-term performance assessment at full-scale
(2017)The concept of using an aspiration efficiency reducer (AER) in building heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to control particulate air pollution concentrations was previously demonstrated using a 1:4 ...
