Hygrothermal Performance of Cool Roofs Subjected to Saudi Climates
Frontiers in Energy Research, 2019 In regions with hot climatic conditions such as that in Saudi Arabia, a substantial share of energy is used for cooling the buildings. Many studies have shown that cool (white) roofs can help reduce the cooling energy load and thus the demand for energy ...

Anisotropic Transparency of Alkali‐Treated Wood
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 2, February 2026.Alkali treatment makes delignified wood transparent by removing hemicellulose and exchanging carboxyl‐group counterions, which softens the cell walls. This allows the internal lumens to collapse, making the material highly transparent. The tangential section allows for a more complete collapse of cell lumens, leading to a denser structure and superior ...

In-situ U-value-measurements of wood frame roofs: analysis of deviations between measured and design performance [PDF]
, 2013 The hygrothermal performance of various lightweight sloped roof designs was monitored in the KULeuven VLIET testbuilding for 2 years (Janssens et al. 1998). One of the aims of the investigation was to evaluate whether the design U-value of 0.18 W/m²K was

Monitoring and simulations of hydrolysis in epoxy matrix composites during hygrothermal aging [PDF]
, 2014 In this paper, we studied the water transport in thermoset matrices. We used Fourier Transform Infrared analysis (FTIR) during sorption/desorption experiments to investigate the interaction between sorbed water and the epoxy network.
