Research on Low-Brightness and High-Reflective Coatings Suitable for Buildings in Tropical Areas

High-reflective Coatings for Ground and Space Based Applications

High-reflective coatings are indispensable in order to manufacture mirrors with highest possible reflectivity. The maximum reflectivity can be achieved by all-dielectric coatings; however, the spectral bandwidth of these mirrors is limited. For astronomical applications metal based coatings (Al, Au, Ag) are commonly applied, as they allow high reflectivity and at the same time a broad spectral ...

Modeling Housing Demand for New Residential Buildings in Urban Areas

T his study investigates the factors affecting the demand for new residential buildings in urban areas of Iran during 1976-2010. The demand function for new residential buildings in urban areas was estimated and then the existence of a long-run relationship among variables of this function was studied using the Bounds testing of the Autoregressive Distributed Lag Co-integration procedure. The t...

Demand Side Management in Tropical Island Buildings. Elaboration of Global Quality Standards for Natural and Low Energy Cooling in Buildings

Electric load profiles of tropical, subtropical and some Mediterranean islands in developed countries are characterised by morning/midday and evening peaks arising from all year round (tropical) and summer (subtropical/mediterranean) high power demand in the commercial and residential sectors, due mostly to air conditioning appliances and bad thermal conception of the building. The work present...
