Technical review of green roofs in hot arid region: Case of Qatar
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2021 , Article)
Greening the city and its buildings is not a new notion, in fact it is an old-traditional system that is re-discovered to improve damaged impact on the urban environment in a smart-sustainable way. Greening has its roots ...
Evaluation of smart irrigation systems in hot-arid climates for green roofs and walls: case of Doha, Qatar
(
Emerald Publishing
, 2022 , Article)
Purpose: The study aims to develop recommendations for optimal Internet of things (IoT) based solutions for a smart precision irrigation automation platform using morphological thinking (MT). The smart irrigation system ...
Street re-design for the adoption of autonomous vehicles: case of the city of Doha, Qatar
(
Emerald Publishing
, 2023 , Article)
Purpose: There is lack of knowledge about how the existing streets need to be redesigned and the infrastructural changes that need to be made to adopt autonomous vehicles. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ...
The design and applications of an innovative irrigation system for biofacades in hot arid climates
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2022 , Article)
Assessment of water requirements through physical sustainable means is essential to ensuring water security, which is at high risk in desert climates such as Doha, Qatar. The water requirements of biofacade systems are met ...
Structural topology optimization considering complexity
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
As topology optimization is a free-form approach to optimizing structural layout, it has a tendency to design structures that are topologically complex. In large-scale structures, this complexity drives construction costs ...
An innovative deep anomaly detection of building energy consumption using energy time-series images
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Deep anomaly detection (DAD) is essential in optimizing building energy management. Nonetheless, most existing works concerning this field consider unsupervised learning and involve the analysis of sensor readings through ...
