Ventilated windows have shown great po tential in conserving energy in buildings and provide fresh air to improve indoor air qua lity. This paper reports our effort to use EnergyPlus to simulate the energy performance of a dual airflow window under different climate. Our investigation first develope d a network m odel to accoun t for th e twodimensional heat transfer in the window sy stem and i...

In [7], Tits classified spherical buildings of rank at least three. In the addenda of [7], he introduced the Moufang property for buildings and observed that with only the results of Chapter 4 of [7] one could show that an irreducible spherical building of rank at least three and all of its irreducible residues of rank at least two must satisfy the Moufang property. Tits and the author have rec...

To reduce the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde emitted from building materials and furnishings, it has been suggested that new buildings undergo a bake-out. According to the existing studies [3, 4], ventilation during a bake-out is believed to be essential for reducing the concentration of indoor air pollutants. For a practical use of bake-out, several ventila...

We tested a threshold-based bed bug (Cimex lectularius L.) management approach with the goal of achieving elimination with minimal or no insecticide application. Thirty-two bed bug infested apartments were identified. These apartments were divided into four treatment groups based on apartment size and initial bed bug count, obtained through a combination of visual inspection and bed bug monitor...
