Well-designed ventilated air-spaces behind external claddings in the building envelope can potentially reduce thermal energy flow in the entire wall structure. In this study, the impact of the dynamic thermo-hydraulic behavior of the flow in the naturally ...
Electric vehicles’ market penetration has been rising due to new technological developments and awareness of the climate change threat. Instead of being a burden for today’s electricity production, such as increasing peak demands, they can also have a posi ...
In light of increasing sustainability requirements, one of the challenges related to the heritage building stock consists in finding a balance between preserving the existing architectural character and improving energy efficiency. The project presented in ...
In recent years, the importance of electric mobility has increased in response to climate change. The fast-growing deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) worldwide is expected to decrease transportation-related emissions, facilitate the integration of renew ...
Evaluating earthquake-induced losses, such as structural repair costs, downtime and casualties, is becoming a standard practice within the performance-based earthquake engineering framework. Nonetheless, this evaluation is a demanding task that requires de ...
Today, different software exists to Predict the Likelihood of Failure (LoF) for the pipes in the water networks. The LoF is used to prioritize the pipes for renovation planning of the water networks. The modern techniques use statistical and/orMachine Lear ...
In 2014, the Singapore government announced plans to increase the adoption of solar power, including by integrating solar PV systems into the urban environment. Careful planning of a neighbourhood at early design stage, which determines the overall urban m ...
Chirok is software for a post-refinement test of the absolute structure. The software allows a user to calculate a distribution of the measure of chirality based on intensity quotients and linked to the Flack parameter. The distribution is fitted by a set ...
We have recently released in the open domain data originating from a series of flights conducted with a fixed-wing micro UAV carrying high-quality small camera and navigation sensors. This data was previously used in several peer-reviewed publications. How ...
With the 2010/31/EU directive, all new buildings shall be nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) from 2020 onward, with the aim of strongly reducing the energy consumption related to the building sector. To achieve this goal, it is not sufficient to focus on ...
