Abstract: To meet the increasing energy demand and to shave the peak, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is currently planning to invest more on renewable energy (RE) seeking diversity of energy resources. Through the integration of ...

Abstract: Switchable building envelope systems, including passive and active systems, have recently seen an increase interest in the literature. Unlike static insulation, switchable insulation systems (SISs) have the ability to ...

Abstract: In this paper, the energy benefits of dynamic photovoltaic (PV)integrated overhang systems are evaluated for office buildings. The benefits of dynamic PVintegrated overhangs combined energy efficiency by decreasing both ...

Abstract: In this paper, the energy efficiency potential of applying novel dynamic insulation systems to slab foundations is investigated for residential buildings. Specifically, dynamic insulation allows the foundation to change ...
