Passive cooling of buildings with phase change materials using whole-building energy simulation tools: A review
(Elsevier, 2017)Buildings contribute to climate change by consuming a considerable amount of energy to provide thermal comfort for occupants. Cooling energy demands are expected to increase substantially in the world. On this basis, ... -
Simulation-based optimization of PCM melting temperature to improve the energy performance in buildings
(Elsevier, 2017)Globally, a considerable amount of energy is consumed by the building sector. The building envelope can highly influence the energy consumption in buildings. In this regard, innovative technologies such as thermal energy ... -
Thermo-acoustic performance of green roof substrates in dynamic hygrothermal conditions
(Elsevier, 2018)Green roofs can be considered as effective and esthetically appreciated passive tools for energy saving systems in buildings. In particular, the effect of evapotranspiration and the large thermal inertia of such solutions, ...
