Climate Change Mitigation: An Investigation into the Attitudes Within the UK Construction Industry (2024)
Journal Article
Muldoon, A., Kaushik, A. K., RazaviAlavi, S., & Gerami Seresht, N. (2024). Climate Change Mitigation: An Investigation into the Attitudes Within the UK Construction Industry. Sustainability, 16(22), Article 10152. https://doi.org/10.3390/su162210152

The mitigation of climate change and its adverse consequences is highly urgent. It has produced a global response in the form of the Paris Agreement, which aims to tackle global warming and adapt to it. It has resulted in enacting the Climate Change...

A reinforcing transfer learning approach to predict buildings energy performance (2023)
Journal Article
Mahamedi, E., Wonders, M., Gerami Seresht, N., Woo, W. L., & Kassem, M. (2024). A reinforcing transfer learning approach to predict buildings energy performance. Construction Innovation: Information, Process, Management, 24(1), 242-255. https://doi.org/10.1108/ci-12-2022-0333

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel data-driven approach for predicting energy performance of buildings that can address the scarcity of quality data, and consider the dynamic nature of building systems.

Design/methodology/app... Read More about A reinforcing transfer learning approach to predict buildings energy performance.

Improving occupational safety in office spaces in the post-pandemic era (2023)
Journal Article
Sadeghi, N., & Gerami-Seresht, N. (2023). Improving occupational safety in office spaces in the post-pandemic era. Sustainable Cities and Society, 98(November 2023), Article 104781. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2023.104781

The rise of COVID-19 and its consequent socio-economic losses raised concerns regarding the resilience of workplaces against widespread infectious diseases. During the COVID-19 pandemic, several outbreaks occurred in workplaces. As a result, local au... Read More about Improving occupational safety in office spaces in the post-pandemic era.

Context-driven ontology-based risk identification for onshore wind farm projects: A domain-specific approach (2023)
Journal Article
Mohamed, E., Gerami Seresht, N., & AbouRizk, S. (2023). Context-driven ontology-based risk identification for onshore wind farm projects: A domain-specific approach. Advanced Engineering Informatics, 56, 101962. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aei.2023.101962

Risk identification is a knowledge-based process that requires the time-consuming and laborious identification of project-specific risk factors. Current practices for risk identification in construction rely heavily on an expert’s subjective knowledg...

Energy-Smart Buildings: A Conceptual Framework to Improve Buildings’ Energy Performance (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Seresht, N. G. (2022, September). Energy-Smart Buildings: A Conceptual Framework to Improve Buildings’ Energy Performance. Presented at The 38th Annual Conference of the Association of Researchers in Construction Man-agement (ARCOM), Glasgow, Scotland

Buildings contribute to nearly 40% of the carbon dioxide emissions in the United Kingdom, and a significant proportion of this energy is consumed to control the indoor environment (i.e., heating, cooling, and lighting). Several efforts have been unde... Read More about Energy-Smart Buildings: A Conceptual Framework to Improve Buildings’ Energy Performance.
