DESCRIPTION:*Urban Planning for Outdoor Thermal Comfort*\nTania Sharmin\, 
 PhD Candidate\, Department of Architecture\, Cambridge\n\nThis study consi
 ders early stage building and urban design strategies to improve outdoor t
 hermal comfort. Important findings include that deeper street canyons resu
 lt in reduced air temperature but increased Tmrt thus presenting apparentl
 y conflicting design options to achieve outdoor comfort. \n\n*Financial Pe
 rformance of BREEAM Certified Buildings in the UK*\nHaobo Yang\, PhD Candi
 date\, Department of Land Economy\, Cambridge\n\nAbstract TBD\n\n*Energy T
 racers: Video Thermal Imagery of Homes to Save Energy and Money*\nHelen Ta
 ylour\, \n\nEnergy Tracers is a project formed in early 2011 to engage com
 munities with their carbon footprint and energy use by emphasising communi
 cation between surveyors and home owners.  An infrared camcorder  is used 
 to create a visual-audio report complete with recommendations for future p
 rojects that the home owner can undergo. \n\n\n \n*Energy Retrofit and O
 ccupant Behaviour in Listed Housing: A case study of the Brunswick Centre 
 in London*\nHui Ben\, PhD Candidate\, Department of Architecture\, Cambrid
 ge\n\nThis study examines the impact of behavioural and physical variables
  on the energy savings of the Brunswick Centre in London. The highest hous
 ehold energy use can be 2.2 times higher than average consumption. Modelli
 ng shows the impact of positive behavioural change ranges up to 62% to 86%
  of the total potential savings.\n \n*Transition to a Riparian Landscape:
  Designing a Flood Resilient Coastal Settlement in Par Docks\, Cornwall* \
 nEd Barsley\, PhD Candidate\, Department of Architecture\, Cambridge\n\nTh
 e talk outlines innovative solutions to coastal flood resilience\, based a
 round integrated spatial planning\, and non-defensive flood planning. The 
 study used a design research methodology to explore to potential of creati
 ng a town that remains open to the sea whilst safe from it.\n
