CFD assessments within strongly transient domains [PDF]
, 2007 Assessments based on CFD snapshots of stable conditions within strongly transient domains do not address many aspects of performance associated with occupant interventions, control actions or changing climate. Such domains (e.g.

Impact of Climate Change: Environmental Assessment of Passive Solutions in a Single-Family Home in Southern Spain [PDF]
, 2018 According to the IPCC Climate Change projections by 2050 temperatures in southern Spain will have increased noticeably during the summer. Housing—in its current form—will not be able to provide a suitable response to this new climate scenario, and will ...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Cedar Façade Flame Spread With Respect to Sidewall
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In response to growing energy conservation and carbon neutrality efforts, façade systems incorporating wooden materials have attracted increasing attention, which in turn raises concerns about their combustibility. This study presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation of flame spread along cedar façades.

Biomimetic Opaque Ventilated Façade for Low-Rise Buildings in Hot Arid Climate
BuildingsEnhancing the thermal performance of building façades is vital for reducing energy demand in hot desert climates, where envelope heat gain increases cooling loads.

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fire sources in actual compartment fires exhibit a predominantly uneven spatial distribution. In this context, the impact of the height and location of the fire source, as well as the heat release rate (HRR) of the fire, on the thermal characteristics of Externally Venting Flames (EVF) is experimentally investigated.

Energies, 2022 Green façades with an active water regime and the water flowing through the substrate itself are not common. This system reduces the temperatures and incorporates the evapotranspiration, which could be more effective than by the regular green façades ...

CFD supported modelling of double skin facades in hot arid climates [PDF]
, 2005 Previous simulations predict the possibility of reducing cooling demands in office buildings in hot arid areas if a selective double skin facade is used.

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This research was conducted within the framework of project SI2.825082, funded by the European Commission—DG GROW. The project's objective was to finalise a European approach for assessing the fire performance of façades under medium and large fire exposure conditions.
