Assessment of displacement ventilation systems in airborne infection risk in hospital rooms
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
Efficient ventilation in hospital airborne isolation rooms is important vis-à-vis decreasing the risk of cross infection and reducing energy consumption. This paper analyses the suitability of using a displacement ventilation ...
Experimental energy performance assessment of a solar desiccant cooling system in Southern Europe climates
(Elsevier, 2019)
Solar desiccant cooling systems, SDEC, could be an effective alternative to conventional cooling systems, which mainly depend on electrical energy. The main objective of this work was to determine experimentally the seasonal ...
Optimization of 100 MWe Parabolic-Trough Solar-Thermal Power Plants Under Regulated and Deregulated Electricity Market Conditions
(MDPI, 2019)
Parabolic-trough solar-thermal power-plant investments are subordinate to radiation availability, thermal-energy storage capacity, and dynamic behavior. Their integration into electricity markets is made by minimizing ...
Non-Invasive Forehead Segmentation in Thermographic Imaging
(MDPI, 2019)
The temperature of the forehead is known to be highly correlated with the internal body temperature. This area is widely used in thermal comfort systems, lie-detection systems, etc. However, there is a lack of tools to ...
Experimental study of overheating of an unglazed transpired collector façade under southern European summer conditions for four modes of operation
(Elsevier, 2019)
The use of unglazed transpired collector (UTC) façades for air preheating in buildings has been proved to be an energy saving solution for refurbishing old buildings. However, not all climates are appropriate for the ...
Long term experimental analysis of thermal performance of extensive green roofs with different substrates in Mediterranean climate
(Elsevier, 2019)
Green roofs are passive construction systems that can contribute to reduce the energy demand of buildings and achieve the European goal of nearly zero energy buildings. The main objective of this work was to determine ...
