An appraisal of the performance of a 'green' office building [PDF]

, 2011
The challenges of a `greener' future are now a responsibility for everyone and particularly for the built environment, where sustainable building design is no longer an innovative option but more of a legislative must.

Daylight and health : a review of the evidence and consequences for the built environment [PDF]

, 2015
Daylight has been associated with multiple health advantages. Some of these claims are associations, hypotheses or beliefs. This review presents an overview of a scientific literature search on the proven effects of daylight exposure on human health ...

Self‐Adaptive Non‐Flammable Wallpaper With Layered Bead‐Network Structure for Light Path Modulation Enabling on‐Demand Building Thermal Management

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A layered bead‐network wallpaper is designed to modulate the light propagation path, overcoming the color residue limitations of thermochromic components for efficient automatic switching between radiative cooling and solar heating modes. The layered bead‐network wallpaper provides passive, all‐season thermal regulation while offering self‐cleaning and

Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Afforestation in China reduced forest fragmentation in 2015, transforming 51.8 M ha of edge forests into interior forests. This enhanced carbon sequestration (1.4±0.2 Pg CO2e, a cooling biogeochemical effect), while reduced albedo (−0.9 Pg CO2e, a warming biophysical effect) partially offset the gain, yielding a net extra climate benefit of ...

A COMPARISON OF FOUR DAYLIGHTING METRICS IN ASSESSING THE DAYLIGHTING PERFORMANCE OF THREE SHADING SYSTEMS

Journal of Green Building, 2017
ABSTRACT The assessment of the daylighting performance of a design solution is a complex task due to the changing nature of daylight. A few quantitative metrics are available to designers to assess such a performance, among them are the mean hourly illuminance (MHI), the daylight factor (DF), the daylight autonomy (DA) and the useful daylight ...

Pressure‐Driven Phase Transition Unlocking Unique Eu2+ Luminescence in Li2SrSiO4 for Optical Sensing and White‐LEDs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates, for the first time, the use of a large‐format high‐pressure press to modify synthesized Li2SrSiO4:Eu2+,Cs+ phosphors after its preparation. The pressure treatment results in the formation of new materials with distinctive optical properties, opening pathways for the development of advanced LED devices and high‐performance ...
