Improved human thermal comfort with indoor PCM-Enhanced tiles in living spaces in the arabian gulf
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Al-Majlis is the living space in residential buildings of the Arabian Gulf, and is where occupants spend most of their time. For this reason, the human thermal comfort in this space is of extreme importance and is often ...
Mathematical modeling of PCM cooling vest for workers in hot climates
(
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, ASHRAE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
A cooling vest containing phase change materials (PCM) made of salt mixtures that melts at a specific temperature helps in maintaining the skin temperature of the covered parts at a comfortable level. A dynamic thermal ...
Extending indoor open street mapping environments to navigable 3D citygml building models: Emergency response assessment
(
International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Disaster scenarios in high-rise buildings such as the Address Downtown, Dubai or Grenfell Tower, London have showed ones again the importance of data information availability for emergency management in buildings. 3D ...
Socio-cultural factors shaping the spatial form of traditional and contemporary housing in Qatar: A comparative analysis based on space syntax
(
Beijing JiaoTong University
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Socio-cultural factors in the spatial form of Qatari houses seem affected by the forces of globalization during rapid urbanization of its capital, Doha, over the previous three decades whereby the construction of housing ...
Experimental study on effective placement of PCM packets in cooling vest to improve performance in warm environment
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Global warming has increased the risk of heat stress of outdoor workers and one measure against heat stress is wearing passive personal cooling clothing. Passive body cooling systems, including phase change material (PCM) ...
Strengthening of RC beams using near surface embedded-FRCM
(
ISEC Press
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Fibre reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems are mostly externally bonded (EB) for the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) and masonry structures. In this paper, the relatively new concept of near-surface ...
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 ...
Sustainable Poultry house ventilation using Dew point indirect evaporative cooler aided with radiative cooling
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Maintaining good production quality in layer poultry houses is directly correlated to the thermal environment of the laying hens as well as their breathable air quality. This work compares the performance of two passive ...
Improving comfort and productivity of workers at moderate activity and hot environment by means of a PCM cooling vest
(
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, ASHRAE
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The effect of using a phase change material (PCM) cooling vest by a worker performing moderate activity in a hot environment is studied through the use of a validated integrated fabric-PCM and bio-heat model. The integrated ...
Assessment of Climate Adaptation of Youth Club in Tozeur, South of Tunisia
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Impact of users on thermal behaviour of a building and a building's impact on the use of different spaces are two aspects that are subject of post occupancy evaluation of the present paper. The building was designed according ...
