Develo** countries encounter challenges in adopting advanced roof systems due to the
complexities associated with implementing advanced materials and techniques. This study …

The hygrothermal simulation of hygroscopic building materials is a real challenge, in terms
of regulations and labelling, but also in decision-making. Today, we lack reference models …

Due to the acceleration of urbanization and industrialization, air pollutants has been
increasing, posing a major threat to human health and the ecological environment. During …

A landmark review of concrete as thermal energy storage material is presented through a
bibliometric analysis approach. This study shows influential literature and the current …

The environmental conditions to which a concrete may be exposed will condition its real
range of use. Thus, concrete behavior must, at all times, be verified under a wide variety of …

The in-plant use of recycled aggregate concrete derived from precast rejects (termed PRAC
herein) can promote a circular economy in the precast industry. However, the environmental …

As a promising envelope technology for energy saving, opaque ventilated facades (OVFs)
have spread to various climates and regions. Nevertheless, few reports have been …

The nearly zero energy building (NZEB) is known for the low energy demand and better
thermal insulation, thus it is promising to explore the thermal storage potential, and the …

Well-designed ventilated air-spaces behind external claddings in the building envelope can
potentially reduce thermal energy flow in the entire wall structure. In this study, the impact of …

Historic buildings represent our cultural heritage and identity. Due to their age and building
tradition, they are extremely vulnerable to seismic excitations, as confirmed by the recent …
