Optimizing passive design strategies in warm-humid climates: a holistic framework for green building rating systems

open access: yesRevista Hábitat Sustentable
Green Building Rating Tools (GBRTs) such as LEED, BREEAM, GRIHA, and WELL assess building sustainability but often overlook a standardized framework for evaluating passive design strategies, which are critical for energy efficiency and thermal comfort ...

Fracture evolution of a thick soft protection layer and the water inrush mechanism in overburden under longwall mining

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

Wind-Induced Ventilation Techniques for Passive Cooling

open access: yesEnvironment-Behaviour Proceedings Journal, 2018
Passive cooling systems maintained a comfortable indoor temperature using non-mechanical methods, uses less energy and reducing the negative impact on the environment. The aim is to review the wind-induced technique suitable for a hot and humid country like Malaysia.

Thermochromic Radiative Cooling Coatings with Robust Superhydrophobicity for Energy‐Efficient Buildings

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A scalable, color‐adaptive radiative cooling coating is developed to enable dynamic spectral regulation via a reversible thermochromic transition at ~45 °C and a high solar reflectance of 91.7%. The coating achieves 4.44 °C outdoor sub‐ambient cooling while providing robust superhydrophobicity and environmental durability through its micro/nano ...

Air pollutant levels in air-conditioned and naturally ventilated museums: a pilot study [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
An air-conditioned and a naturally ventilated museum in a highly polluted part of London were compared for effectiveness of pollution control. Nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide concentrations were measured inside and outside using ...

Passive Smoking in a Displacement Ventilated Room

open access: yes, 1997
The aim of this research is to see if the displacement ventilation principle can protect a person from exposure to passive tobacco smoking. This is done by full-scale experiments with two breathing thermal manikins, smoke visualisations, and tracer gas measurements. In some situations, exhaled smoke will stratify in a certain height due to the vertical
