MSc Architectural Technology + Building Performance

Opportunity:

Dear colleagues
We are pleased to announce two new full-time research posts based in the OISD Low Carbon Building Research (LCBR) Group at the School of Architecture in Oxford Brookes University (Oxford, UK). The LCBR Group at Oxford Brookes University has a strong international reputation in the field of carbon mapping (RIBA award-winning DECoRuM model), building performance evaluation and smart local energy systems.


The Research posts are part of the EPSRC funded Energy Revolutions Research Consortium (EnergyRev) and Innovate UK funded Local Energy Oxfordshire (LEO) projects.

· With a grant funding of £8 million, EnergyRev project is designed to evaluate smart local energy systems, undertaking analysis and evaluation, building and driving best practice and, leading knowledge exchange through national and international engagement with policy, academic and industrial communities. LCBR group is involved in work streams on user engagement and facilitating scale-up of smart local energy systems through new tools and frameworks.

· With a grant funding of £13.8 million, Project LEO will demonstrate a transformative, integrated smart local energy system that trials and validates new business models and approaches that intelligently link supply, storage and demand patterns across power, heating and transport. LCBR group is involved in the work stream on setting up processes to monitor, collect, store and assess information regarding energy services and user involvement underpinned by spatial mapping and temporal data.

For further information about the two posts, please visit - https://my.corehr.com/pls/oburecruit/erq_jobspec_details_form.jobspec?p_id=066622


Closing date is 12 May 2019


Please feel free to circulate this email to colleagues who may be interested in this post. If you have any queries, please contact me.



All the best

Architectural Technology & Building Performance

The MSc has recently hosted what we have called The Built Environment Talks (BET) as a lecture series in which Edinburgh Napier engages with industry. The first one was a trial launch event in which we invited Matt Stevenson from Carbon Dynamic. It was an overwelming success and we hope to have more of these in the coming months. I will post the invite and poster when we organise the next one. If there are any Alumni who would like to talk about their current projects/ experience, please get in touch. Next ones will be recorded and shared.

Hi all, Please use this forum to post some dicussion around relevant Architectural Technology, construction related, retrofit, BIM, LCA, Virtual reality, Augmented reality and many more topics which you are involved in or interested in finding out more. I hope to build up on membership of alumni, current students and future ones to create a great community of people who are part of the Masters programme or who are interested in it. Please also join our Twitter and Linkedin feeds and discussions with industry, academia and innovation.

Welcome to the forum for information and relevant events and activity for students past and present of the MSc in Architectural Technology & Building Performance programme at Edinburgh Napier University.
