Cost-benefit analysis of BIM-enabled design clash detection and resolution
(2020 , Article)
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is increasingly deployed as part of the processes in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry projects. While the benefits of BIM have been extensively proclaimed, ...
Numerical computation of the capacity of generalized condensers
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
We present a boundary integral method for numerical computation of the capacity of generalized condensers. The presented method applies to a wide variety of generalized condenser geometry including the cases when the plates ...
Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) analysis of a two-sided windcatcher integrated with anti-short-circuit device for lowwind conditions
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2020 , Article)
Windcatchers are considered as promising passive ventilation and cooling strategy, but the ventilation performance of this system is still of concern in areas with low speed and unpredictable winds. The air short circuiting ...
