This review examines the application of luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) for building
integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), both in terms of opaque façade elements and as semi …

The growing attention to sustainability and life cycle issues by European and international
policies has recently encouraged the adoption, in the construction sector, of environmental …

The deleterious effects of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation on construction materials,
especially wood and plastics, and the consequent impacts on their useful lifetimes, are well …

Today's world is witnessing an increasing concern about energy consumption, Global
Warming, and economic crisis; therefore, attention has been paid to the evaluation of …

The building envelope has a substantial influence on a building's life cycle operational and
embodied carbon emissions. Window-to-wall ratios, wall assemblies, shading and glazing …

The global interest in nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEBs) has led to their establishment as
mandatory building objectives in Europe for all new constructions starting in 2021. The …

Direct reuse and recycling of materials can significantly reduce the net environmental impact
of the global construction sector. The feasibility of reuse and recyclability of building systems …

Tissue engineering has emerged as a promising field for regenerative medicine, aiming to
develop biomimetic scaffolds that can have significant implications for reducing …

Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption in the building sector
requires not only improving the energy efficiency of buildings but also minimising material …

In this study, our aim was to explore the potential energy savings obtainable from the
