An experimental evaluation of thermal behavior of the building envelope using macroencapsulated PCM for energy savings

, 2020
There is a very significant rise in energy demand of the building sector in developing countries. A major portion of this energy is used for space cooling and heating in buildings.

Building‐Envelope‐Inspired, Thermomechanically Robust All‐Fiber Ceramic Meta‐Aerogel for Temperature‐Controlled Dominant Infrared Camouflage

Advances in Materials
The unsatisfactory properties of ceramic aerogels when subjected to thermal shock, such as strength degradation and structural collapse, render them unsuitable for use at large thermal gradients or prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.

Building envelope design: Multi-objective optimization to minimize energy consumption, global cost and thermal discomfort. Application to different Italian climatic zones

Energy, 2019
The paper proposes a multi-objective optimization approach to address the energy design of the building envelope. A genetic algorithm (GA) is implemented by means of the coupling between MATLAB® and EnergyPlus to minimize primary energy consumption (PEC),

Dynamic optimization of multi-retrofit building envelope for enhanced energy performance with a case study in hot Indian climate

, 2020
When multiple thermal retrofits are to be installed in a building envelope for improving its energy performance, several questions arise such as “what should be the thickness of retrofits and where they should be placed within the wall/roof”, “which ...

Effect of different building envelope materials on thermal comfort and air-conditioning energy savings: A case study in Basra city, Iraq

, 2020
Recently, a numerous number of houses has been built using AAC materials, which consume the most amount of energy in the building sector by Heating, ventilation, and air -conditioning (HVAC) systems. Thus, the most significant factor affecting the energy
