Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Housing RenewalM. Sitar, K. KrajncFollowing the already proved models the sustainable planning culture is endangering several methods directed towards the needs of tenants in the existing post-war housing stock. The case-study of our project is the renewal of the multi stored building in the housing estate Metalna, Maribor/Tezno (1949). It is based on the sustainable renovation principle for the quality of sustainable housing in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,252 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWind Speed Simulation Using WaveletsA. H. Siddiqi, S. Khan, S. RehmanMost of the renewable energy sources have direct or indirect link with the sun. Wind is also a form of solar energy. It is initiated by uneven heating of the atmospheric air by the sun, affected from the topography and surface roughness of the earth's surface and rotation of the earth. The earth's terrain, water surfaces and vegetation cover modifies … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,553 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Retrofits Needed in Old Office Buildings to Achieve Thermal ComfortChipozya Tembo Silungwe, Josephine Mutwale Ziko, Edward Jims SakalaBuilding designs normally are made to offer a given level of comfort to occupants without any mechanical intervention. However, with the advent of global warming temperatures globally have been seen to rise making the occupants of most buildings uncomfortable. The immediate solution has been to add mechanical ventilation, which comes at an added cost of installation and running a building. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2019 · 7,373 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Acid Frosting on the Microstructure Characteristics and Mechanical Strength of Eroded Soda-Lime-Silica Glasses by SandstormAkinwumi Gbenga Owoyemi, Grace Olufunke Matthew, Seun Samuel OwoeyeMost glass products such as cars windshields, solar panels protecting glass and windowpanes are exposed to unavoidable sandblasting effects especially in areas prone to sandstorms. This sand impingement results into micro cracks and surface flaws which altered the structure and strength of the exposed glasses thereby lowering their service life. In this regard, attempt was made in this research to … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 25 Apr 2019 · 6,925 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDYNAMIC DAYLIGHT AND SOLAR CONTROL IN TROPICAL CLIMATEYaik-Wah LimDaylight is dynamic, thus there is no one common solution for all scenarios. It is more critical in tropical climate where the sky is predominantly intermediate; with inconsistent clouds formations which will influence the presence of direct sunlight and daylight availability. In this study, the potential of dynamic internal shading devices for improving daylighting performances in tropical climate was investigated. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 29 Apr 2015 · 7,099 accessesView PDFCite
