Free Convective Heat Transfer in a Closed Gap between Concentric Semi-Hemispheres
(MDPI, 2021-11-09)
Free convective heat transfer in the closed gap between concentric semi-hemispheres is quantified by means of a numerical approach based on the volume control method using the SIMPLE algorithm. The average Nusselt number ...
Improving Energy Performance of Historic Buildings through Hygrothermal Assessment of the Envelope
(MDPI, 2021-09-15)
The intervention on historic buildings through building energy retrofitting has become one of the current challenges of improving energy efficiency. Nonetheless, this building typology presents certain complexities. Among ...
Airtightness Analysis of the Built Heritage–Field Measurements of Nineteenth Century Buildings through Blower Door Tests
(MDPI, 2020-12-20)
Airtightness is a major issue in architectural design and it has a significant impact on the energy performance of buildings. Moreover, the energy behaviour of built heritage is due, to its singular characteristics, still ...
