The potential of the membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) for high-rate bio-oxidation was investigated. A reaction-diffusion model was combined with a preliminary hollow-fiber MABR process model to investigate reaction ...
A simple definition of a zero energy building (ZEB) is a stand-alone building which does not use any offsite
energy source for its operation. The definition is easily extended to buildings with a net-zero annual
on-site ...
This paper assesses the role of design and operational
parameters in a night ventilated library
building that has been designed for a maritime
type climate. The design rationale behind the
building is elaborated and ...
Article 7 of the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive requires Member States to implement energy certification for buildings, and particularly for large public buildings, requires an energy certificate to be displayed ...
This study presents a whole-head finite element model of deep brain stimulation to examine the effect of electrical grounding, the finite conducting volume of the head, and scalp, skull and cerebrospinal fluid layers. The ...
There is an increasing trend in reducing energy demand of buildings by improving building envelope thermal
characteristics. Proven construction examples as used with the German PassivHaus standard achieve
substantial ...
There is a trend towards reducing heating and cooling requirements of buildings by using high levels of
insulation, minimizing thermal bridging, and ensuring excellent air tightness, together with the operation of ...
This paper presents a building environmental assessment methodology developed for application in new commercial buildings in Ireland. In an attempt to address issues of specific national interest the development of the ...
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) obligates EU member states to develop a reliable methodology capable of calculating and certifying the energy performance (EP) of their building stock. In this paper, ...
The European Union’s (EU) Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) aims to increase the
energy performance (EP) of buildings by requiring EU Member States to develop an EP calculation
methodology and to certify ...
