Improving common constructive solutions and substituting HVAC systems for more efficient ventilation systems leads to significant opportunities to decrease energy demand for heating and cooling and for improving occupant’s comfort. Passive House (PH) conce ...
The increase of the urban population and the climate change are issues that scientists and stakeholders are facing nowadays; in this optic a sustainable design should address buildings, and all the physical phenomena that interact with them, from the urban ...
Several theories of the glass transition propose that the structural relaxation time tau(alpha) is controlled by a growing static length scale. that is determined by the free energy landscape but not by the local dynamic rules governing its exploration. We ...
The objective of this research is to study the potential energy savings due to changes in thermal and visual set-points, by means of computer simulations and sensitivity analyses. The first part of the project consists in the creation of a computer model o ...
This paper describes the City Energy Analyst (CEA), a computational framework for the analysis and optimization of energy systems in neighborhoods and city districts. The framework allows analyzing the energy, carbon and financial benefits of multiple urba ...
Industrial sites and their associated energy systems are estimated to be responsible for 31% of worldwide energy consumption. Improving their energy efficiencies has the potential to reduce production costs of industrial sites and contribute towards the 20 ...
The research focuses on the problem of scheduling jobs in a single machine with sequence-dependent setup times and energy requirements in which jobs of multiple types arrive dynamically over time. A setup operation is required to change over the job types ...
This paper addresses the effect of the type of habitat on thermal comfort and energy requirements for heating and cooling for 7 Algerian cities located in different climatic zones of the country. Our choice is focused on four buildings: two traditional hou ...
Innovation of the energy saving and optimization of the renewable sources are the most important sides of the building sector in the last years. Considering that buildings consume more than 40% of all the energy we use and about 50% of it is used for the c ...
SPADnet is a sensor platform for the detection and processing of gamma photons generated in a PET system. SPADnet uses the novel technique of deferred coincidence detection, whereas timestamps associated with gamma events and their energy are routed at hig ...
