Glazing Effects on Dynamic‐Insulation TSC Façades: A CFD‐Supported Experimental Study of Flow, Heat Transfer, and Ventilation Preheating

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Glazed transpired solar collectors achieve 48–75% efficiency and 11% more seasonal heat than unglazed designs by cutting convective losses, while both offer complementary benefits for ventilation preheating and dynamic wall insulation, with paybacks of 5.5–6.8 years.

Reducing Carbon Footprint of Laminated Glass Through the Use of Structural Interlayers

Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings, 2022
Structural interlayers in laminated glass have allowed engineers and specifiers to extend and improve the use of glazing solutions in the construction industry. With the availability of embodied carbon values for these interlayers, it is now possible to

Whole‐House Thermal Bridge Modelling for Accurate Retrofit Energy Prediction

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study models thermal bridging in a UK semi‐detached house across pre‐ and post‐retrofit scenarios using piecemeal and whole‐house approaches with EWI and IWI. Whole‐house retrofits reduce heat transfer coefficient by 60%; findings demonstrate that default values are often unrepresentative and advocate tailored Ψ value databases.

Methods for Dimensioning an Adhesive Joint for Use in Fluid-Filled Façade Element

Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Fluids in the cavity can be used to integrate additional functions into insulating glazing. However, the high permanent load exerted by the fluid on the glazing and surrounding components is problematic.

Dynamic Response of Cable-Supported Façades Subjected to High-Level Air Blast Loads: Numerical Simulations and Mitigation Techniques

Modelling and Simulation in Engineering, 2012
A glazing façade subjected to blast loads has a structural behaviour that strongly differs from the typical response of a glazing system subjected to ordinary loads.

A Control Strategy With Hybrid Compressor Modeling for Electric Vehicle CO2 Heat Pump Systems

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A hybrid PSO‐BP compressor sub‐model is developed and embedded in a MATLAB/Simscape physical model of a transcritical CO2 heat pump system for electric vehicles. Based on this high‐fidelity platform, a phased variable‐PTC cooperative control strategy is proposed and evaluated.

Heating the Inflation Inequality in Greece

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of the current study is twofold. First, we assess the household inflation inequality in Greece not only across different income groups but also across other households' social and economic characteristics, such as occupational status and household composition, among others.
