Quantifying savings in spaces energy demands and CO2 emissions by shading and lighting controls in the Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Despite the deceleration in worldwide annual energy consumption and CO2 emissions, many countries, such as in the Arabian Gulf, are still unarguably far from following this international trend. This study investigates the ...
Performance assessment of evaporatively-cooled window driven by solar chimney in hot and humid climates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This study investigates the application of the evaporatively-cooled window system in hot and humid climates and assesses its seasonal performance and benefits in terms of energy savings. The validated system is a hybrid ...
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 ...
