Inspection of Biomimicry Approaches as an Alternative to Address Climate-Related Energy Building Challenges: A Framework for Application in Panama

Biomimetics, 2020
In the Panama context, energy consumption in the building sector is mostly related to the conditioning of indoor spaces for cooling and lighting. Different nature strategies can be mimic to strongly impact these two aspects in the building sector, such ...

Numerical Assessment of Different Phase Change Materials as a Passive Strategy to Reduce Energy Consumption in Buildings under Tropical Climates

Buildings, 2022
The building envelope design constrains how much HVAC systems must work to provide comfort. High thermal mass in walls is preferable to delay heat gain, as well as reduce it.

Use of Land Surface Temperature Estimation with Geographical Information Tools for Validation of Numerical Microclimate Studies at Urban Scale [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2021
For this study, different approaches found in the literature to obtain the Land Surface Temperature (LST) were evaluated through Geographic Information tools, to validate the temperature results obtained from dynamic simulations at urban scale with the ...

Economically sustainable shade design for feedlot cattle

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Provision of shade reduces radiant heat load on feedlot cattle, thus reducing demand of water and energy for thermoregulation. While the positive effects of shade on animal welfare are widely known, the literature lacks data on the magnitude of its ...

Review of Parameters Measured to Characterize Classrooms’ Indoor Environmental Quality

Buildings, 2023
As attention to indoor environmental quality (IEQ) grows, a systematic strategy for assessing IEQ in schools needs to be developed. For this purpose, this paper presents a summary of parameters measured in school classrooms to characterize the quality of

Influence of the lateral source/building separation on vapour intrusion: A numerical study [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
Various vapour intrusion (VI) models have been proposed in order to predict indoor concentration of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in buildings. However, these models tend to be conservative, and overestimate or underestimate vapour flux emissions due

Automotive Seat Comfort and Vibration Performance Evaluation in Dynamic Settings

Applied Sciences, 2022
An automotive seat is a key component which not only provides restraint and support for its occupant, but also mitigates vibration. Since an automotive seat is in constant contact with the vehicle occupant, its dynamic comfort is of great importance in ...

When a totally bounded group topology is the Bohr Topology of a LCA group [PDF]

, 2018
We look at the Bohr topology of maximally almost periodic groups (MAP, for short). Among other results, we investigate when a totally bounded abelian group $(G,w)$ is the Bohr reflection of a locally compact abelian group.
