Corrosion effects in deposit environments (soil, waste pit, etc.), together with the glaze adherence and fit, could cause severe deterioration accompanied by different types of defects or growth of corrosion products. The aim of this work was to iden...
This paper investigated an application of adjustable photovoltaic (PV) slats to improve the thermal performance of an exposed glazing window and sequentially enhance the energy efficiency and thermal comfort of an office room. Solar radiation and lon...
The quest for energy efficiency in buildings has placed a demand for designing and modeling energy-efficient buildings. In this study, the thermal energy performance of a tropically adapted passive building was investigated in the warm tropical clima...
As the level of greenhouse gas emissions increases, so does the importance of the energy performance of buildings (EPB). One of the main factors to measure EPB is a structure’s heating load (HL) and cooling load (CL). HLs and CLs depend on seve...
With the depletion of shallow resources, deep resource mining has become a trend. However, the high temperature and complex stress environment in deep mines make resource extraction extremely challenging. This paper developed a thermal insulation gro...
With the growing desire for new buildings and better indoor comfort, the amount of energy consumption of office buildings in China is increasing rapidly, which will lead to the great challenge for energy supply and sustainable development. Building p...
Long-term shutdowns caused by ice formation on wind turbine blades can lead to significant power generation losses, a persistent issue for wind farm operators. The rapid acquisition of ice mass and thickness on blades under actual meteorological cond...
In Saudi Arabia, the carbon footprint and energy use that results from using concrete in construction is a major negative contributor to the environmental effects of building materials. Likewise, the impact of annual cooling and heating energy demand...
