Abstract: It is essential to design and operate buildings with good indoor air quality because people spend most of their time indoors, and their productivity, comfort, and health depend on the quality of the indoor air. In addition ...

Abstract: Passive humidity control in buildings can be achieved by incorporating materials that have a moisture-buffering capacity. Such materials absorb moisture at peak-moisture times and give off the stored-up moisture at low ...

Abstract: Understanding temperature and airflow patterns in an attic roof helps to identify the sections of the roof where moisture damage and roofing material durability problems can be expected. In this paper, the temperature ...

Abstract: In many mechanical systems, the tendency of sliding components to intermittently stick and slip leads to undesirable performance, vibration, and control behaviors. Computer simulations of mechanical ...

Abstract: The moisture design of exterior walls in a building envelope is an important task that needs to be carried out systematically to generate a sustainable and healthy built environment. Many conventional methods or practice ...

Abstract: The potential global warming impact on the extreme and mean streamflow of the Upper Blue Nile (UBN) River Basin was projected for the 2050s and 2080s by three hydrological models [Nedbør-Afstrømnings Model (NAM), Variable ...
