A review on the systems approach for solving the complexity of the environmental problematique of cities in Africa
Tập 1 Số 0 - Trang 11
Monthly-averaged hourly solar diffuse radiation models for world-wide locations
Tập 1 - Trang 1-8 - 2015
Monthly-averaged daily global irradiation data are now easily available from
NASA website for any global location. Using established models it is then
possible to decompose the daily to averaged-hourly global irradiation. The
missing link so far has been hourly averaged diffuse irradiation. In this
article data was pooled from 14 world-wide locations to obtain a regression
model to complete the ab...
Current progress in adsorption technologies for low-energy buildings
Tập 1 - Trang 1-13 - 2015
More than half of the world’s population currently lives in cities. An essential
constituent of future sustainable cities is energy efficient and ecologically
sound buildings which ensure high levels of comfort and convenience without
reducing the standards of living. At present, a significant part of primary
fossil fuels is spent for heating/cooling of buildings, thus, greatly
contributing to tot...
Urban sprawl and growth management – drivers, impacts and responses in selected European and US cities
Tập 2 - Trang 1-13 - 2016
Urban growth management has become a common term to circumscribe strategies and
tools to regulate urban land use in metropolitan areas. It is particularly used
to counteract negative impacts of urban sprawl but also to frame future urban
development. We discuss recent challenges of urban growth in 6 European and 2 US
American city-regions. The paper compares the urban development focusing on a
qua...
A simple and effective model for prediction of effective thermal conductivity of vacuum insulation panels
Tập 1 - Trang 1-8 - 2015
The excellent thermal insulation performance of vacuum insulation panels (VIPs)
make them widely applied in energy conservation fields, especially in buildings
engineering. This research work proposes a simple, yet extremely effective,
alternative model for prediction of the effective thermal conductivity (ETC.) of
VIPs. The ETC. of VIPs is function of the thermal conductivity of the core
material...
Climatic benefits of black carbon emission reduction when India adopts the US on-road emission level
Tập 1 - Trang 1-13 - 2015
India is known to emit large amounts of black carbon (BC) particles, and the
existing estimates of the BC emission from the transport sector in the country
widely range from 72 ~ 456 Gg/year (for the 2000’s). First, we reduce the
uncertainty range by constraining the existing estimates by credible isotope
analysis results. The revised estimate is from 74 ~ 254 Gg/year. Second, we
derive our own BC...
CFD simulation and validation of self-cleaning on solar panel surfaces with superhydrophilic coating
Tập 1 - Trang 1-15 - 2015
Solar panel conversion efficiency, typically in the twenty percent range, is
reduced by dust, grime, pollen, and other particulates that accumulate on the
solar panel. Cleaning dirty panels to maintain peak efficiency, which is
especially hard to do for large solar-panel arrays. To develop a transparent,
anti-soiling Nano-TiO2 coating to minimize the need for occasional cleaning is
the purpose of ...
Comparison of building modelling assumptions and methods for urban scale heat demand forecasting
Tập 3 - Trang 1-13 - 2017
Building energy evaluation tools available today are only able to effectively
analyse individual buildings and usually either they require a high amount of
input data or they are too imprecise in energy predictions at a city (district)
scale because of too many assumptions made. In this paper, two tools based on 3D
models are compared to see whether there is an approach that would probably be
able...
