As an important indicator of construction quality and envelope integrity of buildings,
airtightness is responsible for a considerable amount of energy losses associated with …

PV water pumping technology is recognized as a sustainable and environmentally friendly
solution to provide water for domestic use. The appropriate design and smooth operation …

Building envelope plays a crucial role in limiting the heat gains and affects the energy
requirement for space cooling directly. To this end, building codes specify overall thermal …

To reduce the energy consumed by building part, a new method of producing foam glass at
low temperature was proposed in this study. Mineral wool waste and waste glass recycled …

This research investigates the effect of building cross-section shape on the air pollutant
dispersion around an isolated building. A Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model was …

Building fan pressurization tests are based on a measurement method developed in the
1970s to estimate the airflow rate that penetrates the building envelope through …

Air infiltration brings challenges to energy saving and indoor air quality in buildings.
Previous studies about air infiltration mainly focused on normal-space buildings, while less …

As a continued investigation following the previous testing of a house-sized chamber in a
sheltered environment, this paper introduces an experimental study of airtightness …

This paper introduces a comparison study of measuring the airtightness of a house-sized
test chamber using the novel pulse technique and a low range blower door method in a …

A pulse pressurisation technique is developed and utilised for determining building leakage
at low pressure, based on a “quasi-steady pulse” concept. The underlying principle of the …
