(Sciendo, 2020-09)
This paper reports the indoor air operative temperature and relative humidity outcomes of a sixteen-month monitoring campaign of an administrative area in an industrial building in Tolosa (Spain). In a survey, users reported ...
Analysis of Energy Retrofit Assessment Methodologies in Buildings by European Research Projects
(Sciendo, 2021-01)
Energy retrofit of existing buildings is one of the main keys to achieve European Union's decarbonising objectives defined in the European Green Deal. In order to proceed into them, European policy has been adapted and ...
Soundscape in Times of Change: Case Study of a City Neighbourhood During the COVID-19 Lockdown
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-24)
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown meant a greatly reduced social and economic activity. Sound is of major importance to people's perception of the environment, and some remarked that the soundscape was ...
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 ...
