Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Building Function on Thermal Comfort: A Review PaperMamdooh S. AlwetaishiOne of the most problems for achieving thermal comfort in buildings is disregarding the impact of different types of building use. They are differ depending on the activity style they perform inside. In residential buildings, for instance, variations in indoor temperature is more acceptable than the case in hotels or hospitals. This review is leading to seek a solution for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 2 Nov 2016 · 9,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Electricity Price on Saving Energy Transmitted from External Building WallsSamah K. Alghoul, Ammar O. Gwesha, Abdurrauf M. NaasSpace heating and cooling loads consume a significant part of the national produced energy in many countries. Therefore, substantial energy savings can be achieved by the reduction of spent energy in this category. Since wall insulation is rarely used in Libya, this research was conducted to study the effect of electricity price on residential heating and cooling energy consumption and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 May 2016 · 10,842 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Prototype of a Small-Scale Solar Power Plant: dynamic Simulation and Thermoeconomic AnalysisAnnamaria Buonomano, Francesco Calise, Maria VicidominiThe paper presents an innovative prototype of a solar power plant, purposely designed for small-scale applications such as residential and/or small commercial buildings. The system consists of 10 kWe Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) plant and innovative solar thermal collectors. In particular, 235 m2 of flat-plate evacuated solar collectors are designed to heat diathermic oil up to 180°C. A variable volume … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2016 · 8,061 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of the Edges of a Backside Diffusive Reflector on the External Quantum Efficiency of Luminescent Solar Concentrators: Experimental and Computational ApproachMauro Pravettoni, Cristina S. Polo Lòpez, Robert P. KennyLuminescent Solar Concentrators (LSCs) have been proposed in the 1970s as cheap planar concentrators for residential applications and nowadays represent a novel idea with excellent perspectives for building integration photovoltaics. The interest in LSCs has increased in the last years, due to improved stability of luminescent dyes, the introduction of quantum dots and nanorods and the overall reported increase in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2016 · 8,364 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDYNAMIC ENERGY MODELING OF AN EXPERIMENTAL BUILDING EQUIPPED WITH AN UNDERFLOOR AIR DISTRIBUTION (UFAD) SYSTEMYao Yu, Ahmed Cherif MegriIn this study, experimental and simulation studies were performed in a building equipped with an UFAD system in order to investigate the applicability of a new approach designed for prediction of the energy consumption of a residential building with an UFAD system. In this approach, a zonal model, Pressurized zOnal Model with the Air diffuser (POMA), was coupled with a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 8,136 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Ambient and Indoor Air Quality in the Building Built on the Former LandfillAnuar Ithnin, Nazipah Zakaria, Nor Azura Sulong et al.Problem statement: The air quality study of PPR Taman Wahyu II, Selayang, Selangor was a residential project that was built on the former landfill site. The landfill site will produce landfill gases which can influence the air quality level in and outside the building. Approach: This air quality study also involving PPR Intan Baiduri, Batu Caves, Selangor as a control … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 21 Jun 2012 · 6,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial-Functional Analysis of Kurdish Courtyard Houses in Erbil CityFaris Ali Mustafa, Ahmad Sanusi HassanProblem statement: This study was to analyze the concept of spatial-function in courtyard house layout and its influence to the cultural and social activities. Themes such as integration, segregation, accessibility and zoning of the building space layout are required to be deliberated, in order to achieve further understanding about the Kurdish social and cultural benchmarks (norms) that might have affected … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,836 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Thermal Comfort in Respect to Building Height in a High-Density City in the TropicsAnisha Noori Kakon, Mishima Nobuo, Shoichi Kojima, Taguchi YokoProblem statement: The significance of urban design and planning in the tropics lies mostly on its climatic and regional concerns. Among many design parameters, building height is an important parameter which affects thermal climate in the city considerably. This study investigated the effect of building height on outdoor thermal comfort during the daytime in summer in Dhaka, Bangladesh which is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,755 accessesView PDFCite
