Performance of energy piles foundation in hot-dominated climate: A case study in Dubai
Lyesse Laloui, Elena Ravera, Sofie Elaine ten Bosch
Energy piles represent an innovative technology that can help provide sustainable geothermal heating or cooling energy for thermal conditioning purposes. In hot-dominated climates, the interest is to inject heat in the ground and extract energy for space-c ...
2024Size-resolved inhalation intake fractions for particles released from human activities in residential indoor environments
Inhalation exposure to elevated concentrations of airborne particulate matter is a public health concern. Assessment of exposure can be enhanced through better knowledge of source-receptor relationships, which can be characterized through the inhalation in ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Building ventilation and outdoor air pollution: Implications for health, comfort and energy
As humans spend most of their time indoors, indoor air quality (IAQ) significantly impacts their health. In parallel, building ventilation consumes significant energy, contributing to climate change. However, the relationships between the building ventilat ...
EPFL2023Optimal sensor placement for personal inhalation exposure detection in static and dynamic office environments
Modern health and productivity concerns related to air pollutant exposure in buildings have sparked the need for occupant-centric monitoring and ventilation control. The existing personal exposure monitoring is often restricted to stationary air quality se ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Measuring the effective thermal resistance of ventilated air-spaces behind common wall assemblies: Theoretical uncertainty analysis and recommendations for the hot box method modifications (ASHRAE 1759-RP)
Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohammad Rahiminejad
A well-designed ventilated wall that incorporates air-space behind cladding can reduce energy use for conditioning buildings by adding a thermally resistive layer. The scarcity of thermal performance data and standardized test methods is a particular barri ...
2022Hydration development and thermal performance of calcium sulphoaluminate cements containing microencapsulated phase change materials
Microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCM) incorporated in buildings walls can reduce indoor temperature fluctuations, conserving energy and enhancing thermal comfort. MPCM were incorporated in calcium sulphoaluminate cement (CSA) at high concentratio ...
2020Review on ventilation rates in the ventilated air-spaces behind common wall assemblies with external cladding
Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohammad Rahiminejad
For many decades, ventilated cavities in wall assemblies of buildings have been essential for creating moisture resilient constructions by allowing airflow within the air gap to promote drying. In addition to that, the airflow in the cavity can enhance the ...
2020Experimental comparison of the thermal indoor environment created by a radiant, and a combined radiant and convective cooling system
This study reports the results from an experimental comparison of two cooling systems. The studied systems were a radiant cooling system (radiant ceiling panels and mixing ventilation), and a combined radiant and convective cooling system (combination of a ...
