Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimal Arrangement of Energy-Dissipating Members for Seismic Retrofitting of Truss StructuresToru Takeuchi, Yusuke Kinouchi, Ryota Matsui, Toshiyuki OgawaAlthough passive response control design is a popular method, an arrangement methodology for energy-dissipating devices in spatial structures has not been established yet. In this study, optimization techniques are applied to arrangements of energy-dissipating devices in truss tower structures. First, a response prediction rule using the response spectrum and the equivalent linearization method is proposed. Then, a genetic algorithm is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 14 Jul 2015 · 7,619 accessesView PDFCite
Technical ReportOpen accessIn the keywordsCritical Evaluation of Thermal Efficiency in Aerogel Glazing Systems for Energy-Saving ApplicationsErdem CuceAerogels as a thermal superinsulation material possess a unique combination of properties, most notably low densities, and exceptionally low thermal conductivities, stemming from the high-volume fraction of air incorporated within their structure. Aerogel glazing systems have emerged as a promising solution to enhance the thermal performance of building envelopes while maintaining daylighting. With the notable reductions in production cost in … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2026 · 2,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCost-Effective Energy Refurbishment of Health Care Facilities in Heating Dominated Climates of Italian Backcountry. The Case Study of the Hospital Veneziale of IserniaRosa Francesca De Masi, Fabrizio Ascione, Gennaro Sosto, Giuseppe Peter VanoliMaximizing energy efficiency within hospitals and healthcare facilities is a major challenge for sustainable development and energy saving objectives. In this study, the case study of the public hospital of Isernia (Italian backcountry city) is proposed, being typical of the hospital building stock developed in reinforced concrete all around Italy in the last 40 years. Starting from deep on-site investigations, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 25 Sep 2017 · 8,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSmart 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEnergy Audit of Health Care Facilities: Dynamic Simulation of Energy Performances and Energy-Oriented Refurbishment of System and Equipment for Microclimatic ControlFabrizio Ascione, Nicola Bianco, Rosa Francesca De Masi et al.Topic of the study is the investigation of potentialities of energy simulation for optimizing the building refurbishment, by taking into account impacts of both envelope renovation and HVAC system selection. Energy audit and refurbishment of the Day-Hospital building of a great Italian health care facility are proposed. A meticulous energy diagnosis of the base case building and design of a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Jan 2016 · 8,068 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Reinforced Concrete Frames with Infill Walls Under Cyclic Loading Strengthening with CFRPMojtaba Fallahi, Sajjad Sayyar Roudsari, Mona Haghighifar, Rahmat MadandoostNowadays, using infill isolators in Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures is very common. In earlier research this infill isolators are usually considered as non-structural elements, but in recent researches it was demonstrated that infill has considerable effects on natural period, stiffness, strength and overall behavior of structure specially when it is subjected to seismic ground motions. In this study a one-bay … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 6 Jul 2018 · 8,444 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Titanium Dioxide Self-Cleaning Coatings on Photovoltaic Modules for Soiling Related Losses ReductionAnnalisa Andaloro, Francesco FrontiniSeveral studies have assessed the influence of soiling deposition on Photovoltaic (PV) modules front-cover with regards to performance losses over time. In fact, soiling phenomena in PV systems are ascribed as responsible for medium and long-term yield reduction up to 16% over the first-year of outdoor exposure. Provided that PV technology is a low yield energy production source, maintaining module … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 5 Feb 2017 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Eco friendly Refrigerants Usage in Air-ConditionerC. Chinnaraj, R. Vijayan, P. GovindarajanProblem statement: There are two types of global warming contributions through refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The first one is the Direct Global Warming Potential (DGWP) due to the emission of refrigerants and their interaction with heat radiation. The second one is the Indirect Global Warming Potential (IDGWP) due to the emission of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) by consuming the energy … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 27 Dec 2011 · 8,462 accessesView PDFCite
