An engineering approach to modelling of dynamic insulation using ESP-r [PDF]
The use of Dynamic Insulation (DI) can enable recovery of conduction heat loss through a building envelope. This is an active process that allows air to move through the fabric against the temperature gradient.

BUILDING ENVELOPE COMPONENT TO CONTROL THERMAL INDOOR ENVIRONMENT IN SUSTAINABLE BUILDING: A REVIEW
The engineering of building envelope aims is to achieve building energy efficiency which uses shading device to increase the shaded area. Also, to reduce heat gain by the building from solar radiation, this will reduce the energy load on the building ...

Experimental study on Reconstruction of rural Building Envelope in Hebei [PDF]
Taking rural buildings in Hebei as an example, the reconstruction experiment was carried out. After a survey on the status quo of buildings in rural areas of Hebei province, it is found that the thermal performance of the envelope structure is poor. Then,

Optimization of energy transmittance through building envelope for hot dry climate
Fenestrations of the buildings are playing an important role in the building's energy efficiency for the tropical climate. The energy that comes from the glass window into the building can be restricted by providing shading on the windows. So, to provide

Passive window ventilation openings for building refurbishment [PDF]
A thorough building refurbishment generally includes window replacement and thermal insulation of the opaque building envelope. However, quite often only a window replacement is done and the building envelope is left uninsulated. This could lead to mould

The building envelope as an air filter [PDF]
Recent research suggests that fine-particulate air pollution increases the incidence of lung disease and premature death. In this paper, single fibre filter theory was used to predict the theoretical particulate collection efficiency of air permeable walls (dynamic insulation).
