Solar radiation reaching the surface of the earth for a period of one hour contains more energy than that consumed by mankind over an entire year. Some of this solar energy is already collected by photovoltaic cells to cover the electricity needs of buildi ...
This master’s thesis aimed at exploring the field of micro-acoustic spectrometry using surface acoustic waves. The objectives of this project were to design and fabricate a platform for the detection and characterization of bioentities. Design of a delay l ...
Assessing and optimizing human indoor comfort is challenging as physiological, psychological, and environmental variables influence it. Therefore, it is crucial to understand variability of human physiological parameters and underlying mechanisms. Metaboli ...
A recent study on the glare protection performance of electrochromic (EC) glazing showed that visible transmittance levels lower than 0.6% are necessary to achieve comfortable situations for sun positions, that were close to the central field of view. Howe ...
This paper provides a validation of a novel sampling, storage, and evaluation method named raytraverse that can quickly and accurately compute glare and visual comfort metrics including vertical illuminance, Daylight Glare Probability (DGP), and Unified Gl ...
High-speed turbomachinery is commonly designed to achieve high power densities. Limited space for active cooling results in a challenging thermal management. A thermal modeling approach leveraging modern declarative programming capabilities is presented, y ...
Natural light greatly impacts how a building is experienced by its occupants. It affects their well-being, notably from their health and biological clock perspectives, but also their perceived visual and thermal comfort, or their emotional response. If we ...
In the published paper titled 'EAST discharge prediction without integrating simulation results' (2022 Nucl. Fusion 62 126060), figure 5 used the wrong plot, and is not matched with table 3. We used the plot discussed with referees, the case when we do not ...
Natural light greatly impacts how a building is experienced by its occupants. It affects their well-being, notably from their health and biological clock perspectives, but also their perceived visual and thermal comfort, or their emotional response. If we ...
To understand how daylight gives shape and life to architectural spaces, whether existing or imagined, requires quantifying its dynamism and energy. Maintaining these details presents a challenge to simulation and analysis methods that flatten data into di ...
