The CLUES project officially began on 1st October 2010. As you can see from our profile, we are an inter-disciplinary team from the disciplines of planning, architecture, construction studies, engineering, economics and social psychology. We are seeking to tackle the issue of the decentralisation of energy systems down to the urban level - everything from local demand management schemes, to district heating installations, to bio-mass CHP (combined heat and power). We will be reporting our research process and findings on our main project website (in process of construction). But in this blog we aim to share our experiences of undertaking interdisciplinary research and we hope this will be of wider interest to the research community. Catalina Turcu (CLUES Research Associate) and I will be off to EPSRC and ESRC sponsored events on the Sustainable Urban Environments and Rural Economy and Land Use research programmes over the next two days. Back soon with some thoughts from these events.
