Terraces, as outdoor extensions of food and beverage businesses located in the public realm, have very high potential to activate the streetscape, bring people together and improving urban experiences. Among the consequences ...

Opaque ventilated façade (OVF) thermal performance simulation for office buildings in Brazil

Gregório Atem, Camila; Aparicio-Fernández, Carolina; Coch Roura, Helena; Vivancos, José Luís (2020-09-16)
Article
Open Access

Opaque ventilated façades (OVFs) are increasingly gaining in importance in the design of sustainable buildings, given that they can lessen the building´s environmental impact. Opaque ventilated façades can reduce thermal ...

Techno-economic optimization model for polygeneration hybrid energy storage systems using biogas and batteries

Wegener, Moritz Benjamin Gustave; Villarroel Schneider, J.; Malmquist, Anders; Isalgué Buxeda, Antonio; Martin, Andrew; Martin, Viktoria (2021-03)
Article
Open Access

Renewable energy polygeneration systems are a viable alternative to fossil-fuel based systems, but storage solutions may be necessary when aiming for high sustainability and autonomy. As each storage technology has different ...

Effects of strain aging in NiTi SMA wire for dampers

Isalgué Buxeda, Antonio; Auguet Sangrá, Carlota E.; Torra Ferré, Vicenç; Carreras, Guillem; Lovey, Francisco Carlos (Elsevier, 2015)
Article
Open Access

The thermo-mechanical properties of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) as smart materials suggest their application as actuators, but also as dampers, thanks to the high damping properties during the hysteresis of the thermo-elastic ...

A techno-economic optimization model of a biomass-based CCHP/heat pump system under evolving climate conditions

Wegener, Moritz; Malmquist, Anders; Isalgué Buxeda, Antonio; Martin, Andrew; Arranz Piera, Pol; Camara Moreno, Osar; Velo García, Enrique (Elsevier, 2020-08-07)
Article

An innovative modelling approach for the design of biomass-based, solar-assisted combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) and heat pump (HP) systems for various climate scenarios is proposed in this work. The modelling ...

Built in dampers for stayed cables in bridges via SMA. The SMARTeR-ESF project: a mesoscopic and macroscopic experimental analysis with numerical simulations

Torra Ferré, Vicenç; Auguet Sangrá, Carlota E.; Isalgué Buxeda, Antonio; Carreras, Guillem; Terriault, Patrick; Lovey, Francisco Carlos (Elsevier, 2013-04)
Article
Open Access

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are good candidates for solid-state dampers appropriate for the oscillations of bridge stay cables because of their large recoverable strain, hysteresis and reasonable fatigue-life. This work ...
