Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePotted Plants on Flat Roof as a Strategy to Reduce Indoor Temperature in Malaysian ClimateAsmat Ismail, Muna Hanim Abdul Samad, Abdul Malek Abdul RahmanProblem statement: The phenomenon of global warming or climate change has led to many environmental issues including higher atmospheric temperatures, intensive precipitation, increase greenhouse gaseous emission and of course increase indoor discomfort condition. Researchers worldwide collectively agreed that one way of reducing the impact of global warming is by implementing green roof technology which integrates vegetation, growing medium and water … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNatural Ventilation of Indoor Air Temperature: A Case Study of the Traditional Malay House in PenangAhmad Sanusi Hassan, Mahyuddin RamliProblem statement: It was the aim of the study to analyze the level of performance of natural air ventilation with a case study of the traditional Malay house in Penang, Malaysia. This study provided information on the architectural design in relation to natural air ventilation. It promoted passive design in contrast to most housing design which has poor natural air … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 11,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDouble Diffusive Convection Heat and Moisture Transfer Inside a Planted Roof Building Under Hot-Humid Climate: Case of Lomé City in West AfricaHodo-Abalo Samah, Magolmèèna Banna, Belkacem ZeghmatiPlanted roofs have been investigated as a passive cooling technology for energy efficiency purposes in buildings. More quantitative data on this topic are required to solve a lack of information for many specific regions. This study is focused on a numerical investigation of the thermal comfort inside a green roof rectangular ventilated cavity in a hot and humid climate like … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2022 · 6,993 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
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Building Function on Thermal Comfort: A Review PaperMamdooh S. AlwetaishiOne of the most problems for achieving thermal comfort in buildings is disregarding the impact of different types of building use. They are differ depending on the activity style they perform inside. In residential buildings, for instance, variations in indoor temperature is more acceptable than the case in hotels or hospitals. This review is leading to seek a solution for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 2 Nov 2016 · 9,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating 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
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 abstractEffect of Some Ecological Factors on Thegrowth of Aspergillus niger and Cladosporium sphaerospermumIbtisam Mohammed AbabutainIndoor airborne fungi have been implicated in human health problems, damage to building materials, books, clothes and stored foods, which effected by different ecological factors. Aspergillus niger and Cladosporium sphaerospermum are the most dominant indoor airborne fungi were obtained from our previous study. The effect of normal indoor conditions (Temperature and Relative Humidity) on their growth was studied. Including their … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 12 Feb 2013 · 7,559 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication and Experimental Investigation of PCM Capsules Integrated in Solar Air HeaterMahmud M. Alkilani, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Sohif MatProblem statement: Thermal Energy Storage (TES) process can reduce the time or rate mismatch between energy supply and energy demand. Organic latent heat materials are suitable to use as storage medium, however, the low thermal conductivity of these materials slow the thermal response during charging and discharging processes. Approach: A solar air heater integrated with (PCM) has been designed, fabricated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 11 Jan 2012 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
