Aerogel Granulate Glazing Facades and their Application Potential from an Energy Saving Perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Aerogel granulate glazing systems for energy efficient buildings have various promising properties, including their thermal insulation properties and translucent features. In this study, the energy performance of aerogel ... -
Effect of facade components on energy efficiency in office buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Properties of facade materials should be considered to determine which of them strongly affect building energy performance, regardless of the building shapes, scales, ideal locations, and building types, and thus may be ... -
Impacts of the future weather data type on the energy simulation of buildings – Investigating long-term patterns of climate change and extreme weather conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Patterns of future climate and expected extreme conditions are pushing design limits as recognition of climate change and its implication for the built environment increases. There are a number of ways of estimating future ... -
Insulating Glazing Units with Silica Aerogel Granules: The Impact of Particle Size
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Innovative glazing units with improved thermal and optical performance are important for energy saving in buildings. In this work, light diffusing and thermally insulating aerogel glazing units (AGUs) have been assembled ... -
Optically-Switchable Thermally-Insulating VO2-Aerogel Hybrid Film for Window Retrofits
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Developing easy-to-install energy-efficient window retrofitting materials is important for reducing the heating and cooling loads of buildings. However, it is very challenging to achieve window retrofits that are simultaneously ... -
Use of attainable regions for synthesis and optimization of multistage anaerobic digesters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Anaerobic digestion involves multiple reactions, and when operated as a single stage, the process conditions are only suitable for all the reactions with no particular reaction being optimized, hence limiting overall ... -
Vacuum Insulation Panel Products: A State-of-the-Art Review and Future Research Pathways
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Vacuum insulation panels (VIP) are regarded as one of the most upcoming high performance thermal insulation solutions. At delivery, thermal conductivity for a VIP can be as low as 0.002–0.004 W/(mK) depending on the core ...
