This article presents the results of economic and energy analysis operation five types windows in residential buildings. The aim this study was to determine (a) what extent construction various insulation parameters affect operating costs buildings, when using different heating systems, (b) significant cost purchasing with better is compensated by lower building (heating lifecycle windows), (c)...

In the study, firstly, heat transfer coefficients of windows were calculated according to highest and lowest emissivity values. Secondly, monthly average solar radiation values determined. The coefficient for double, triple quadruple glass windows. Thirdly, in south, north east/west directions five climatic zones multiplied by shading factor, surface area energy factor discrete buildings. Thus,...

Abstract This paper presents theoretical and experimental noise transmission analyses on a double-partition window with structurally integrated T-shaped acoustic resonators. The study aims at providing a new and practical solution for the buil...

delivering perishable products to customers as soon as possible and with the minimum cost has been always a challenge for producers and has been emphasized over recent years due to the global market becoming more competitive. in this paper a multi-objective mix integer non-linear programming model is proposed to maximize both profits of a distributer and the total freshness of the several produ...

This paper provides the data used in a research project to propose a new simplified windows rating system based on saved annual energy ("Developing an empirical predictive energy-rating model for windows by using Artificial Neural Network" (Shakouri Hassanabadi and Banihashemi Namini, 2012) [1], "Climatic, parametric and non-parametric analysis of energy performance of double-glazed windows in ...

We address in this paper a distribution real case problem facing the fuel supplying companies. The cost of acquiring vehicles is often more significant than the routing cost. The goal is to minimise the number of required vehicles. We deal with a vehicle routing problem with double time windows for the depot and multiple use of vehicles (VRPDM). There is a single depot with double time windows,...

This paper describes an incremental neighbourhood tabu search heuristic for the generalized vehicle routing problem with time windows. The purpose of this work is to offer a general tool that can successfully be applied to a large variety of specific problems. The algorithm builds upon a previously developed tabu search heuristic by replacing its neighbourhood structure. The new neighbourhood i...
