The Effect of the Thermal Mass of the Building Envelope on Summer Overheating of Dwellings in a Temperate Climate

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the effectiveness of increasing the thermal capacity of a residential building by using traditional building materials to reduce the risk of its excessive overheating during intense heat waves in a ...

Retrofitting Buildings into Thermal Batteries for Demand-Side Flexibility and Thermal Safety during Power Outages in Winter

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
Decarbonizing heating in buildings is a key part of climate change mitigation policies, but deep retrofit is progressing slowly, e.g., at a pace of 0.2%/y of the building stock in Europe. By means of tests in two flats of a multiapartment housing complex

Cumulative Multi-Day Effect of Ambient Temperature on Thermal Behaviour of Buildings with Different Thermal Masses

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
In most studies, the effect of the thermal capacity of the building envelope on changes in internal temperatures is reduced to a 24 h period. During this period, daytime heat gains are balanced by nighttime heat losses.

Functionally graded metal syntactic foam: Fabrication and mechanical properties

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2019
In this research study a novel functionally graded metal syntactic foam (FG-MSF) was manufactured using expanded perlite and activated carbon particles. A tailored arrangement of these fillers was infiltrated with ZA27 alloy in a single-step process. The

Radio emission from the massive stars in the Galactic Super Star Cluster Westerlund 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Current mass-loss rate estimates imply that main sequence winds are not sufficient to strip away the H-rich envelope to yield Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. The rich transitional population of Westerlund 1 (Wd 1) provides an ideal laboratory to observe mass-loss
