A novel strategy to guarantee a minimum indoor temperature in social housing buildings
(ELSEVIER, 2023-10)
Energy poverty, along with climate change, is becoming one of the most worrying issues in Europe. Many people live without a minimum thermal comfort in their homes because they are not able to afford high energy bills. In ...
Improving energy poverty measurement in Southern European Regions through equivalisation of theoretical energy costs
(2020-07-16)
In many European countries, energy poverty is measured on the basis of real energy bills, as theoretical energy costs are hard to calculate. The UK is an exception—the data inputs for the Low Income-High Cost (LIHC) indicator ...
Electrochemical behavior of metal-supported SOFCs under high fuel utilization and their durability
(ASME, 2012)
The aim of this project was to study whether the oxidation resistance of cells is affected while working under high fuel utilization. A previous study measured the weak oxidation resistance for very porous samples (measured ...
Moisture dependent thermal properties of hydrophilic mineral wool: application of the effective media theory
(2015-07-27)
Thermal properties of mineral wool based materials appear to be of particular importance for their practical applications because the majority of them is used in the form of thermal insulation boards. Every catalogue list ...
Salt Damage and Rising Damp Treatment in Building Structures
(Hindawi, 2016-12-15)
Salt damage can affect the service life of numerous building structures, both historical and contemporary, in a significant way. In this review, various damage mechanisms to porous building materials induced by salt action ...
Properties of Hydrophilic Mineral Wool for Desalination of Historical Masonry
(Kaunas University of Technology, 2016-01-20)
Hydrophilic mineral wool (HMW) is considered as a possible alternative to the commonly used cellulose in desalination of historical masonry. HMW also allows water and salt solutions transport along the hydrophilic fibres, ...
