Demand for energy-efficient school buildings, which form a major part of public is growing in Iran. Window insulation required to reduce the amount energy wasted through openings. This study investigates effect double-glazing with aerogel compared 3 mm glazing pane and window terms solar gain cooling load. The case studies are primary schools Yazd (hot-dry climate), Bushehr (hot-humid Zanjan (c...

Current specifications for glazing in the 2000 IECC code adopted by Texas imply the use of low-E glazing. However, the trends in the development of high­ performance glazing technology indicate that windows have the potential to provide net positive energy benefits making it inevitable for future versions of the IECC to incorporate high-performance glazing. This study examines the performance o...

— This lecture summary provides a short but comprehensive overview on the “energy and buildings” topic. Buildings account for roughly 40% of the global energy demands. Thus, an increased adoption of existing and upcoming materials and solutions for the building sector represents an enormous potential to reduce building related energy demands and greenhouse gas emissions. The central question is...

Glazing is a process used to reduce undesirable drying or dehydration of fish during frozen or cold storage. To evaluate the effect of the time/ temperature binomial of the cryogenic frozen tunnel in the amount of glazing watera Central Composite Rotatable Design was used, with application of the Response Surface Methodology. The results reveal that the time/ temperature obtained for pink cusk-...

Building facades in commercial and residential buildings in Australia, UK and elsewhere are highly vulnerable to terrorist threats involving explosive blast loading. The modelling of consequences to built infrastructure when subject to blast loading is well developed; however, considerable uncertainty remains with respect to system response and explosive loading parameters. In this paper, struc...

Multi-glazing (including double-glazing) windows have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to their effective performance saving energy consumption. The common medium between two glass panes is stationary air or inert gas and it could be treated as an extra component multi-glazing windows. This opens possibilities apply different fluids promising filling materials, including airfl...

Corrections Page 17, Table 6: The in situ U-value from Lauriston Place for single glazing with secondary glazing has actually been 1.6 W/m 2 K instead of 2.3 W/m 2 K. Clarifications The U-values in this report are measured at the centre of the glass pane, and are not whole-window U-values; except for the U-value measured by the National Physical Laboratory, refer to Appendix 1, which is a whole...

Increased global urbanization has caused tall buildings to become an inevitable building form making the façade and especially the glazing areas of paramount importance for the overall heat loss and heat gain of the building. The substantial technological advances in insulating glass and glazing systems made during the past 25 years have improved the possibility for designing well-functioning b...

Over half of all residential buildings in the Netherlands are owner-occupied. In this study, influence behavioural factors on individual decisions toward energy efficiency renovations (EERs) was investigated. This study focused contextual (e.g. building characteristics), personal awareness consumption), and motivational improving comfort). Logistic regression analyses were selected as preferred...

In buildings with ambitious energy goals or limited roof areas for on-site generation, building-integrated solar thermal collectors are one of the main strategies to provide renewable built environment. addition, designing large glazing facades is a challenge achieving goal zero-energy due load produced by standard double triple glazing. This research shows that Water Flow Glazing (WFG) can pro...
