Abstract DTU has established a single-family three-level test house in Nuuk, Greenland. The main idea of the was to have relatively small heated area but split building envelope, where ventilated space behind rain screen some areas could be used as sunroom. This paper describes process transforming architectural ideas building. Main issues been how design and ventilate screen.

Upgrading the thermal performance of building envelope of existing residential buildings is an effective way to reduce heat gain or heat loss. Overhang device is a common solution for building envelope improvement as it can cut down solar heat gain and thereby can reduce the energy used for space cooling in summer time. Despite that, overhang can increase the demand for indoor heating in winter...

Some parrotfishes have developed a unique capacity to form a mucous envelope at night. Scams dubius and S. perspicillams are two Hawaiian species that exhibit envelope-building behavior. Laboratory experiments indicate that envelope formation is promoted by darkness, and is inhibited by constant light. The completed envelope is a transparent, mucous cocoon surrounding the fish. A mass of glandu...

Penicillin-induced filaments of Proteus vulgaris P 18 had a seemingly unaltered cell envelope. Lysozyme, however, reduced the wall part of these filaments into a three-layered structure and caused transformation into spheroplasts. Although cross walls and membrane septa were absent in the filaments, most of the lysozyme-induced spheroplasts remained attached to each other.

Reducing energy consumption and maintaining an appropriate indoor air quality in buildings is a global trend. This achieved several ways – improving the building envelope thermal characteristics; fuel base replacement; introduction of smart tracking systems. The aim this paper analysis impact efficiency measures introduced that provide health services. Measures have been taken to improve perfor...

How cell envelope constituents are spatially organised and how they interact with the environment are key questions in microbiology. Unlike other bioimaging tools, atomic force microscopy (AFM) provides information about the nanoscale surface architecture of living cells and about the localization and interactions of their individual constituents. These past years have witnessed remarkable adva...
