Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThe 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 abstractEquivalent Torsional-Warping Stiffness of Cores with Thin-Walled Open Cross-Section Using the Vlasov Torsion TheoryTriantafyllos Konstantinos MakariosIn order to calculate the equivalent torsional-warping stiffness of the Reinforced Concrete (RC) cores that have thin-walled open cross-section, a new analytical methodology, which combines the Vlasov torsion theory with the Bernoulli bending theory, is presented herein. As the basis of the calculations, we use the principal elastic reference system of the core from this we consider that is known. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 23 May 2023 · 6,401 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBamboo Lightweight Shear Walls: Modeling and Identification of Sheathing-to-Framing Connections for Seismic Response AnalysisGiorgia Di Gangi, Cristoforo Demartino, Giuseppe QuarantaThe need for enhancing the sustainability of civil constructions has originated an increasing interest in the use of engineered bamboo-based products within the building sector. Nonetheless, while the static response of bamboo-made structures has been largely investigated, experimental and numerical researches concerning the response under dynamic loads are limited. Therefore, the present work deals with the assessment of the seismic … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 16 Jun 2020 · 6,943 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 · 7,370 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSmart Retrofit Solutions of Buildings toward a Low Carbon WorldErdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceIn this short communication, energy-efficient, eco-friendly and low-cost solutions for existing buildings are considered in a holistic manner toward low/zero carbon building concept of near future. Buildings are still responsible for about 40% of total primary energy consumption in the world, hence decisive measures need to be taken promptly due to growing significance of environmental issues driven by fossil fuel … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 29 Aug 2018 · 7,169 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTermite Damage to Buildings: Nature of Attacks and Preventive Construction MethodsAbdel Ghaly, Skai EdwardsProblem statement: Termites are an essential member of the soil ecosystem and are found throughout the world. In their natural environment, they improve soil pH, organic carbon content, water content and porosity by cycling dead organics. However, they can negatively impact human welfare by causing damage to unprotected timber structures, underground cables, earthen dams, irrigation ditches and farming equipment. Globally, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2011 · 26,765 accessesView PDFCite
