Abstract:

Construction solid waste and agricultural waste, as renewable resources, have gained increasing attention recently. This research aims to explore the mechanical and thermal properties of recycled-straw insulating concrete commonly made with construction waste and straw in northern Fujian, which can provide useful suggestions for the practical use of recycled-straw insulating concrete. The effects of recycled coarse aggregate, fly ash, and straw on the mechanical and thermal properties of recycled-straw insulating concrete were investigated by orthogonal tests. The results of the orthogonal tes

Abstract:

An energy-efficient and environmentally conscious bamboo-constructed residential structure was created, comprising bamboo composite panels, steel framework, and mineral wool insulation. To ascertain the efficacy of this particular type of wall in enhancing thermal capabilities, the finite element method was employed to analyze the factors influencing the thermal performance of the exterior wall panels, insulation layer, framework, and interior wall panels. A more judicious design and implementation strategy, known as the 3# and 8# combination scheme, was evaluated in practical applications to

Abstract:

Three-dimensional concrete printing (3DCP) is of great interest to scientists and the construction industry to bring automation to structural engineering applications. However, studies on the thermal performance of three-dimensional printed concrete (3DPC) building envelopes are limited, despite their potential to provide a long-term solution to modern construction challenges. This work is a numerical study to examine the impact of infill geometry on 3DPC lattice envelope thermal performance. Three different lattice structures were modeled to have the same thickness and nearly equal contour le

Abstract:

During this extensive research, an intelligent composite wall was ingeniously devised, incorporating internal and external thermal insulation to effectively handle the cold climate conditions prevalent in Sivas, Turkey. The temperature conditions of the outdoors in this region fall significantly during the night and therefore require effective thermal management solutions. The key focus of this research work is to determine the least insulation thickness that would be required to prevent surface wall condensation, which may create potential issues.

The European Union is pursuing an ambitious policy on climate action, urgently calling for an acceleration in the transition toward net-zero emissions by 2050. In this context, retrofitting historic constructions can play a key role in reducing European energy consumption and consequent emissions. What is more, beyond the opportunity for tackling climate change, thermal retrofits can improve indoor comfort while lowering operational costs, factors that are fundamental to ensure the continued use of historic constructions over time, and with that, improving their preservation and durability.

To mitigate freeze-thaw damage in tunnels located in high-altitude cold regions, insulation layers are implemented to prevent the freezing of surrounding rocks. Currently, the selection of laying methods lacks a solid scientific basis, with the merits and demerits of various techniques remaining insufficiently evaluated. This study seeks to establish a scientifically grounded equilibrium between the anti-freezing efficacy and the construction impact of tunnel insulation in cold regions through the optimization of insulation design via numerical calculations.

Abstract:

Approximately 30% of the UK s housing stock is comprised of older, solid wall buildings. Solid walls have no cavity and were built without insulation; therefore these buildings have high heat loss, can be uncomfortable for occupants throughout the winter and require an above-average amount of energy to heat. Solid wall buildings can be made more energy efficient by retrofitting internal wall insulation (IWI). However, there is little empirical evidence on how much energy can be saved by insulating solid wall buildings and there are concerns that internal wall insulation could lead to overheati

Abstract:

Abstract Vacuum tempering has long been recognized for ensuring part cleanliness and brightness, but recent technological advancements significantly improve processing efficiency. By increasing the operating pressure to 2 bar absolute, new vacuum furnace designs dramatically reduce heating and cooling times while maintaining the traditional benefits of vacuum-purged tempering. The process involves an initial evacuation, backfilling with an inert gas, and utilizing convection heating, with the increased gas pressure enabling higher molecular density and more rapid thermal transfer.

Abstract:

The energy-efficient renovation of existing buildings requires precise knowledge of the wall structure. When using interior insulation systems, the driving rain resistance of the façade is also decisive for the function of the entire wall structure. When using interior insulation on exposed brick facades, the verification can often only be done with the help of a hygrothermal simulation. In practice, a non-destructive method, the Karsten tube or various modifications, is used to assess this essential characteristic value quickly. However, the measured values obtained from this method do not ag

Abstract:

Kyo-machiya are traditional townhouses in Kyoto that represent an important aspect of cultural heritage preservation. Because of the poor thermal insulation performance, they require energy-saving renovations. However, their unique soil walls possess a moisture-buffering effect that can be strongly influenced by the applied renovation plan and are expected to remain functional even after renovation. Conventional renovation methods apply an inside vapor barrier to the interior insulation to prevent condensation between the insulation and wall; however, applying this barrier may hinder the buffe

Abstract:

The goal of the project CleanTechBlock 2 is to develop and test a durable and sustainable construction wall element which complies with the building regulations of 2020, and has a certain aesthetics attractiveness. The CleanTechBlock (CTB) prefabricated elements consist of cellular glass insulation blocks mounted in between two layers of brick masonry [1] [2]. The aim of this technical document is to report the results of the different experimental investigations performed on the CTB and other commercial cellular glass samples to determined their thermal conductivity.

Abstract:

Investigations of recent firefighter line of duty deaths caused by rapid fire progression have highlighted a deficiency in firefighters’ understanding of how certain tactics affect the fire dynamics of ventilation-controlled fires. Many fires are in a ventilation-limited, decay state by the time firefighters arrive at the scene, meaning that introducing additional ventilation to the environment has the potential to cause rapid and intense fire growth. To more effectively teach firefighters about the potential effects of ventilation on a compartment fire, ventilation-controlled fires should be

Abstract:

Natural gas meters are often used to measure flows below their minimum design flow rate. This can occur because of inaccurate flow projections, widely varying flow rates in the line, a lack of personnel available to change orifice plates, and other causes. The use of meters outside their design ranges can result in significant measurement errors. The objectives of this project were to examine parameters that contribute to measurement error at flow rates below 10% of a meters capacity, determine the expected range of error at these flow rates, and establish methods to reduce measurement error i

Abstract:

A set of experiments was conducted to expose different types of energized electrical cords for lamps, office equipment, and appliances to a developing room fire exposure. All of the cords were positioned on the floor and arranged in a manner to receive a similar thermal exposure. Six types of cords commonly used as power supply cords, extension cords, and as part of residential electrical wiring systems were chosen for the experiments. The non-metallic sheathed cables (NMB) typically found in residential electrical branch wiring were included to provide a link to previous research. The basic t
