Energy conservation is an increasingly important issue for the residential sector. Therefore,
attention towards the thermal performance of building materials, particularly thermal …

Here, we show how to distribute multiple layers of insulation along a nonisothermal
enclosure so that the total heat loss is minimal. The types and total amounts of insulation …

We use a recovery heat exchanger (RHE) in an industrial building to heat incoming air for
space heating by using the heat contents of some of the refuse hot-air flows (RAF). Several …

This research proposes a holistic evaluation model that assists architects and designers in
producing buildings with low energy consumption. The model is based on computer …

In this study, we maximize the energy savings of a hypothetical household by choosing an
optimal insulation material with its optimal thickness and also the optimal window type. We …

The paper presents the exact analytical solutions for periodic radial heat conduction through
an inhomogeneous hollow sphere for a certain class of thermal‐conductivity profile. The …

The thermal performance of a building fitted with an evaporative cooling tower has been
evaluated in terms of discomfort index for two climates, namely, composite and hot‐dry …

The paper presents exact analytical solutions of one‐dimensional periodic heat conduction
through an inhomogeneous slab for a certain class of thermal conductivity profiles (including …

This paper focuses mainly on composite roof structures thermal response with an insulation
layer in non-conditioned buildings. Roof contributes maximum load in summers in …

The paper presents exact analytical solutions for periodic radial heat conduction through an
inhomogeneous hollow circular cylinder for a certain class of thermal conductivity profile …
