A Methodology for daylight optimisation of high-rise buildings in the dense urban district using overhang length and glazing type variables with surrogate modelling
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Urbanization and population growth lead to the construction of higher buildings in the 21st century. This causes an increment on energy consumption as the amount of constructed floor areas is rising steadily. Integrating ...
Uniform fractional factorial design tables for energy piles with maximum thermal conductance
(
WITPress
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Energy Piles are the heat exchangers of Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) that transfer the buildings heat to the lower temperature shallow ground reducing the energy consumption in the cooling of buildings. These piles are ...
