Modelling the performance of amorphous and crystalline silicon in different typologies of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) conditions

In this work we use and further elaborate a previously proposed model to describe the daily performance ratio of amorphous (a-Si) and crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic solar modules under real operating conditions. For both technologies, the model wa ...

Investigation of venting turbidity currents in the Rudbar-Lorestan reservoir in Iran

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Sabine Chamoun, Sara Venuleo

Venting of turbidity currents is known as an efficient measure to prevent reservoir sedimentation and is applied in many reservoirs globally. It has several economic and ecological advantages compared with other evacuation methods. In the literature, numer ...

A preliminary study on the sensitivity of people to visual and thermal parameters in office environments

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo

The evaluation of indoor comfort requires a thorough understanding of how human occupants perceive four indoor environmental factors: visual conditions, air quality, acoustic ambience and thermal conditions. Recent studies have found that overall comfort i ...
