Numerical modelling of tsunami bore impact on low-rise residential buildings using SPH [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019 The resilience of buildings subject to tsunami bore impact can be improved by reducing tsunami-induced lateral hydrodynamic pressure by allowing part of the tsunami bore to pass through the buildings via openings and break-away walls.

RESOURCE-SAVING TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF LOW-RISE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS
, 2022 This article discusses resource conservation in the construction of a low-rise residential building, the requirements for increasing the thermal protection of buildings and structures, the main consumers of energy. To save energy resources, a real reduction in energy consumption in individual residential buildings by increasing the level of thermal ...

Exceeding the Ontario Building Code for low-rise residential buildings: Economic and environmental implications [PDF]
Building and Environment, 2014 Abstract The residential sector accounts for approximately one fifth of Canada's secondary energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, addressing the energy efficiency of residential buildings has a significant role to play in reducing the nation's overall greenhouse gas emissions.

Life Cycle Energy of Low Rise Residential Buildings in Indian Context
Open Journal of Energy Efficiency, 2014 Life cycle energy of the building accounts for all energy inputs to the buildings during their intended service life. Buildings need to be constructed in such a way that energy consumption in their life cycle is minimal. Life Cycle Energy (LCE) consumption data of buildings is not available in public domain which is essentially required for building ...
