Biography
Dr. Patrick James is the Roberts Fellow in Energy within the School of Civil Engineering and the Environment. He has worked on EU, EPSRC, DTI and industry funded projects during his research career.
His current work is focussed on assessing façade solutions and refurbishment strategies applicable to multi-storey, multi-occupancy buildings in the UK. This work addresses requirements to create energy efficient spaces in which people will want to live and work. The majority of this work is undertaken through the sustainable urban environment (SUE-IDCOP) project “Innovation in the Design, Construction and Operation of Buildings for People” of which he is the senior researcher.
He has been using TRNSYS for more than 5 years in a range of applications including: façade technologies evaluation, whole building performance and microgeneration technologies performance prediction. Microgeneration work has predominantly focussed on PV but over the past 3 years has expanded to include the emerging areas of microwind and micro-CHP. He is leading the UK microwind trial in collaboration with the Energy Saving Trust.

1) Microgeneration: Photvoltaics, micro-wind, CHP.
2) Energy and comfort implications of refurbishment of commercial multi-storey, multi-occupancy buildings.
3) Building integration of photovoltaics, balance of system lifetime (connectors, inverters).
4) Dynamic energy simulation in buildings and renewable energy systems. Climate change impact on buildings.
5) Biomagnetism and its application to wastewater treatment.
