Variability of the Hot Box Method in Assessing Thermal Resistance of a Double L...

The accurate thermal performance assessment of building components is critical for improving energy efficiency in buildings, mainly as space climatization accounts for a large percentage of energy consumption. The literature review points out multiple parameters that influence the measurement of the U-value using the HFM method. However, most of these studies are focused on in situ tests and little information ...

Long-Term Monitoring of the Indoor Environment in Two Apartments in Jordan

Buildings are responsible for more than 40% of the world's energy consumption, with heating and cooling being the primary contributors, resulting in up to one-third of total greenhouse gas emissions. The residential sector accounts for a quarter of global electricity consumption, and in the Arab Mashreq and Maghreb countries, residential buildings consume around 41% of the total electricity, mainly for heating ...

Assessing Moisture Content Using Infrared Thermography: Preliminary Results

Moisture is one of the main causes of defects in buildings, compromising not only the durability of materials and components, but also the indoor comfort and health conditions of users. Infrared thermography (IRT) is a technique that has great potential for mapping humidity in buildings but quantitative criteria that correlate differences in surface temperatures with the moisture content are lacking. This paper...

Critical Review on the Energy Retrofitting Trends in Residential Buildings of A...

In the 21st century, global energy security is a critical concern. Buildings contribute to over 40% of the worldwide energy consumption, primarily due to heating and cooling, resulting in a third of greenhouse gas emissions. The residential sector accounts for 25% of global electricity consumption, and in the Arab Mashreq and Maghreb (AMM) countries, the residential sector consumes around 41% of the total elect...

Indoor Environment in Kindergartens Located in the North of Portugal: Evaluatio...

Adequate school buildings are essential for the development of children, young people, and adolescents, as they must provide conditions that support their well-being and health. A healthy and comfortable indoor environment is critical for students' performance in the learning process. This study aims to evaluate the indoor environment in kindergartens located in northern Portugal, with a primary focus on therma...

Assessment of the Thermal Properties of Gypsum Plaster with Plastic Waste Aggre...

Building material manufacturers must support new production models that encourage the manufacture of more efficient and sustainable products. This includes thinking about savings in the use of raw materials, a contribution to the energy efficiency of buildings during their useful life, and a reduction in the generation and deposit of waste in landfills. In this research, an analysis of the thermal properties of...
