There are several techniques for the performance of energy studies in buildings, where
infrared thermography is widely used for the study of the composition of the envelopes, to …

Historic buildings represent our cultural heritage and identity. Due to their age and building
tradition, they are extremely vulnerable to seismic excitations, as confirmed by the recent …

This paper presents practical experiences of savings within compressed air systems with the
special attention to the compressed air end uses, particularly in pneumatic control systems …

Background: Indirect measurements of flow rate serve to determine air consumption,
leakage values and characteristics of compressed air systems (CASs). Method: A new …

To improve the energy efficiency and output power of the piston compressed air engine
(CAE), a mathematical model of its working process was set up. With the use of the …

The present study was conducted in order to evaluate the efficiency of personal body
microclimate cooling systems based on a phase change materials (PCM) and its effects on …

Following the recent European directives highlighting the need to increase energy efficiency
in the European Union, this work aims to show the possibility of using Non-Intrusive Load …

A new method of indirect flow rate measurement in a pneumatic pipeline system was
developed by the authors. The method enables to measure the controlled leakage in a …

Textile industry in Egypt is energy intensive and is one of the top energy consumers in the
country. Both the global and local energy crisis, in addition to high cost of fuels led to …

Decreasing of operating pressure in compressed air systems leads to improving of overall
energy efficiency. In this paper, the focus is on the pressure reduction at the point of use …
