In the world of cultural heritage, a wide range of artefacts and buildings are made of wood
and, therefore, are subjected to moisture-induced stress and strain cycles, owing to …

The solar source, although it can reduce energy consumption (EC) for buildings on cold
days, in the summer, its presence on the envelopes intensifies EC. In this study, two …

Whole-building dynamic simulation has been increasingly adopted as a tool to non-
invasively investigate possible strategies to improve energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and …

The paper is focused on the evaluation of how the climate changes can influence the
performance of buildings designed to be nearly zero energy (nZEB) and on the evaluation of …

Among thermal insulation solutions for historic walls, thermal renders and plasters appear to
be a very feasible option. Thus, this work analyses commercially available thermal mortars …

Heritage buildings and the precious artworks contained therein, represent inestimable
cultural and artistic evidence from the past that must be properly preserved for future …

Global warming is driving the search for emissions-free energy sources. This study proposes
a novel road thermoelectric generator system (RTEGS) based on the Seebeck effect, which …

Post-insulating existing buildings is a promising solution for reducing operational CO 2
emissions from the European built environment. Nonetheless, its efficacy is unclear when …

This study covers the application of sim-heuristics to simulate and optimise the KLang Gate
Dam (KGD) operating rule curve using the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 …

The world's climate has changed dramatically in recent years due to the development of the
industry. Climate change can significantly affect hydropower plants. One of the negative …
