Energy efficiency in office buildings has been the center of attention for many researches. This special attention is due to highly energy consumption in this building type. Refinement of facade and building’s envelop is a good approach to reduce buildings energy requirements. Double skin facade concepts are commonly used to achieve that object. Although the concept is not new, there is a growi...

In buildings, energy is primarily consumed by mechanical air conditioning systems. Low alternatives, such as natural ventilation, are needed. However, they need to be able cope with increasing heatwaves and pollution, particularly in warm climates. This review paper looked at the ability of ventilation provide adequate thermal comfort, resilience against heatwaves, good Indoor Air Quality Singl...

Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Systems play a vital role in energizing microelectronic devices with the low-frequency operation. Here, novel piezoelectric energy harvesting device has been developed for low power electronic devices. The consists of cantilever poles projecting outwards and cantilevers one end is connected to wind-catcher, another torsional spring. signifies its application plac...

The traditional architecture of Central Asia and the Middle East is the product of land, the local climate, and people’s culture. The human needs and the environment represented the most essential factors to be considered in their designs. The traditional and vernacular architecture of this region introduced many realistic solutions and devices to the local environmental problems such as the Wi...
