Technical ReportOpen accessPhrase in the titleKnowledge Acquisition of Existing Buildings by Means of Diagnostic Surveying. Case StudiesGiovanna Concu, Nicoletta Trulli, Monica ValdésThe issue of assessing the structural safety of existing buildings involves several problems when a unique and reliable strategy of modelling and analyzing is looked for. This is mainly related to the peculiarity of each construction in a context of broad variety. In this light the structural model and consequently the judgment on structural safety should be derived from a … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2018 · 7,320 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 abstractDeveloping an Integrated Method for Optimal Design of Chilled Water Plants in HVAC SystemsNabil Nassif, Nihal Al Raees, Fouad Al Rifaie, Taher Abu-LebdehBuildings account for a large portion of energy use in the US. Many those buildings have equipped with central plants to produce chilled water supplied to central air handling units. The chilled water plant design can have a significant impact on building energy uses and costs. In this paper, an integrated method for optimal design of chilled water plants is … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2019 · 6,586 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
