The influence of moisture on the energy performance of retrofitted walls [PDF]
The renovation of old building facades should be performed mainly considering the building energy demand reduction. For this purpose, it is necessary to select retrofitted solutions that should be able of minimizing heat losses through walls. However, it

Decentralized Robust Disturbance-Observer Based LFC of Interconnected Systems [PDF]
This paper develops a novel decentralized controller for multi-area secondary load frequency control (LFC) of power systems. The proposed robust-adaptive approach estimates the external disturbance input and uncertainties, which are assumed to be matched with the control input.

The 3D printing challenge in buildings [PDF]
The rising awareness and usage of Building Information Modelling (BIM), a methodology that allows for better information management and communication amongst the several stakeholders of a building project, opened the construction sector's door to digital

Principal Components Analysis for the Interpretation of Humidification Phenomena—Preliminary Results
Moisture is one of the major causes of building decay, compromising the indoor air quality and the durability of building components. Infrared thermography is a non-destructive technique that can be used to prevent damage caused by the presence of water.

The Importance of Moisture Content to the Emissivity of Ceramic Bricks
Emissivity is a key parameter if one intends to use quantitative thermography. The importance of temperature, surface characteristics, wavelength and the direction of the emitted radiation in the emissivity is well documented in the literature.

Introduction of Financial Settlement Among LFC Areas
Abstract Settlement of unintended deviation between scheduled and realized energy exchange among LFC (Load Frequency Control) areas used to be conducted through the energy compensation programs, where energy deviation from period of registration is compensated at a later stage period of compensation of unintended ...
