Nowadays, superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted a lot of interest because of the wide
range of applications in industries. These surfaces can significantly reduce the drag force …

The building sector is the dominant energy consumer with a total 30% share of the overall
energy consumption and accounts for one-third of the greenhouse gas emissions around …

Buildings are responsible for over 40% of total US energy use, of which about 40% is
directly related to the operation of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems …

In this study, a novel shape-stabilization phase change materials (PCM) for 3D printed
concrete have been generated by impregnating paraffin into the recycled fine aggregates …

In this study, thermal energy storage cement-based composite (TESC) was developed by
incorporating paraffin/diatomite (DP) composite phase change material (PCM). Paraffin/DP …

There are many factors that have a major influence on reducing the energy expenditure in
building sector. This research aims at qualitative and quantitative assessment of those …

Passive design responds to local climate and site conditions in order to maximise the
comfort and health of building users while minimising energy use. The key to designing a …

Energy use in the building is responsible for one-third of total carbon dioxide (CO 2)
emissions globally. Nearly half of the energy loss occurs through the building envelope due …

High-rise and high-density buildings are increasing with the rapid urban development,
which leads to many urban thermal environment problems represented by the urban heat …

Improvement in the thermal performance of the historic building stock has the potential to
reduce building operational energy and its associated negative impact on the environment …
