Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigating the Dynamic Thermal Behavior of Building Envelope in Summer Conditions By Means of in-Field Continuous MonitoringAnna Laura Pisello, Gloria Pignatta, Cristina Piselli et al.The effect of dynamic properties of building opaque envelope in summer conditions is investigated by means of an extensive continuous monitoring of a dedicated experimental field. Two test-buildings, a weather station and two microclimate stations positioned in each test-building represent the experimental field. The prototype buildings have been specifically designed to present the same stationary envelope properties, but different construction … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 25 Apr 2016 · 8,555 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Manufacturing for Novel Materials in Industrial Design ApplicationsFrancesco Tamburrino, Antonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe research presented starts with a focus on Smart Materials, or rather materials with properties that react to external stimuli (temperature, electric or magnetic field, pH or mechanical stress, for example) related to the environmental changes, modifying one or some of their own properties (mechanical, electrical, appearance, etc.). Afterward, one category of Smart Materials, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), has been … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 30 May 2018 · 8,535 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 abstractTHE IMPROVEMENT OF THE COMPUTATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF THE ZONAL MODEL POMA USING PARALLEL TECHNIQUESYao Yu, Ahmed Cherif Megri, Kenneth M. Flurchick, Dukka Bahadur K.C.The zonal modeling approach is a new simplified computational method used to predict temperature distribution, energy in multi-zone building and indoor airflow thermal behaviors of building. Although this approach is known to use less computer resource than CFD models, the computational time is still an issue especially when buildings are characterized by complicated geometry and indoor layout of furnishings. Therefore, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2014 · 7,731 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NOVEL PRESSURIZED ZONAL MODEL USING THE MOMENTUM EQUATIONYao Yu, Ahmed Cherif MegriZonal models combine the simplicity of single and multi-zone models with the comprehensiveness of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models and thus become a better substitute to predict detailed thermal and airflow behaviors in building. Based on a geometric partitioning of a room into a number of subzones, these models give more accurate and detailed results than the single or multi-zone … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 8,570 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndoor Environmental Comfort in Malaysian Urban HousingYaik-Wah LimIn Malaysia, terraced houses have been rapidly constructed since 50 years ago and account for 44% of the existing urban housings. However, these houses have very limited use of natural ventilation and daylighting due to openings with small window-to-floor ratio. The deep plan design causes gloomy indoor spaces, low air change rate and poor indoor air quality. Studies showed that … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 22 Nov 2013 · 7,467 accessesView PDFCite
