Impact of Stationary and Dynamic Conditions on the U-Value Measurements of Heavy-Multi Leaf Walls by Quantitative IRT
(2020-12)
Article
Open AccessInfrared thermography (IRT) has become a commonly applied non-destructive testing method for assessing building envelopes. Like any diagnosis tool, IRT requires an appropriate experience and principle understanding, mainly ... -
Automated data-processing technique: 2D Map for identifying the distribution of the U-value in building elements by quantitative internal thermography
(2021-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyComputing a 2D colour map of average U-values pixel-by-pixel could become a challenging task in terms of complexity and time, especially for entire façades under the influence of anomalies. In a quantitative IRT test, a ... -
Analysis of the Applicability of Non-Destructive Techniques to Determine In Situ Thermal Transmittance in Passive House Façades
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-12-01)
Article
Open AccessWithin the European framework, the passive house has become an essential constructive solution in terms of building efficiency and CO2 reduction. However, the main approaches have been focused on post-occupancy surveys, ... -
Laboratory-based spectral data acquisition of roof materials
(2020)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyRoof characteristics such as material type and their properties information are essential to integrating urban agriculture (UA), rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS), and energy systems on roofs. Roof materials can be ... -
Human comfort modelling for elderly people by infrared thermography: Evaluating the thermoregulation system responses in an indoor environment during winter
(2020-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyElderly people are vulnerable to cold environments, due to aging’s impact on the density of nerve fibers. Nevertheless, automatic controls of HVAC systems do not consider the user’s real-time thermal sensation and most of ... -
Summer thermal comfort in nursing homes in the Mediterranean climate
(2020-12-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe number of people living in nursing homes is increasing due to the growth of ageing population. However, existing standards on thermal comfort do not consider how occupants of nursing homes perceive their thermal ... -
Social perception of urban agriculture in Latin-America. A case study in Mexican social housing
(2018-03-14)
Article

Analysis of empirical methods for the quantification of N2O emissions in wastewater treatment plants: comparison of emission results obtained from the IPCC Tier 1 methodology and the methodologies that integrate operational data
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWastewater is a source of N2O emission that is generated, both directly from advanced treatment plants and indirectly from the discharge of wastewater into the natural environment, due to its remaining nitrogen content. ... -
Life Cycle Analysis of a Game-Based Solution for Domestic Energy Saving
(2020-08-19)
Article
Open AccessICT-based solutions are seen to be almost totally environmentally friendly, but game-based solutions for energy saving have not been explored yet. This paper describes a comprehensive analysis and an in-depth interpretation ... -
