Building Performance Evaluation [PDF]

, 2013
The Chapter will include an introduction to the context of the performance of buildings in use – changing energy and environmental targets and the development of new designs, materials, and technologies to meet these targets. The questions that emerges is, are these successful? Are the targets being met and if not why not? And are there related effects

Supramolecular gating of guest release from cucurbit[7]uril using de novo design

npj Computational Materials, 2022
Herein we computationally explore the modulation of the release kinetics of an encapsulated guest molecule from the cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) cavity by ligands binding to the host portal.

Building Performance Simulation

, 2023
AbstractSimulation is a proven technique that uses computational, mathematical, and machine learning models to represent the physical characteristics, expected or actual operation, and control strategies of a building and its energy systems. Simulations can be used in a number of tasks along the deep renovation life cycle, including: (a) integrating ...

Aryl Aminoalcohols as Corrosion Inhibitors for Carbon Steel in Chloride-Contaminated Simulated Concrete Pore Solution

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2016
In this paper, the rarely studied aryl aminoalcohols, namely comp. a-c were synthesized and then their corrosion inhibitions for carbon steel in 0.3 M NaCl saturated Ca(OH)2 solutions were investigated using electrochemical techniques.
