Comparison of four in-situ methods for the determination of walls thermal resistance in free-running buildings with alternating heat flux in different seasons
(Elsevier, 2019-11)
In recent years, buildings energy consumption has become a major global issue. In order to assess the actual energy performance of buildings, a reliable in-situ estimation of the thermal resistance of walls (R-value) is ...
Modeling of active holonic control systems for intelligent buildings
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAM, 2012)
Building facilities have become important infrastructures for modern productive plants dedicated to services. In this context, the control systems of intelligent buildings have evolved while their reliability has evidently ...
A Lifecycle Assessment of a Low-Energy Mass-Timber Building and Mainstream Concrete Alternative in Central Chile
(MDPI, 2022)
While high-rise mass-timber construction is booming worldwide as a more sustainable
alternative to mainstream cement and steel, in South America, there are still many gaps to overcome
regarding sourcing, design, and ...
Evaluation of code accidental‐torsion provisions from building records
(1992)
A procedure is presented for evaluating building‐code provisions for accidental torsion from analysis of earthquake‐induced motions of nominally symmetric‐plan buildings. This procedure is used to analyze the motions of ...
Inspection of Biomimicry Approaches as an Alternative to Address Climate-Related Energy Building Challenges: A Framework for Application in Panama
(2020-06-01)
In the Panama context, energy consumption in the building sector is mostly related to the conditioning of indoor spaces for cooling and lighting. Different nature strategies can be mimic to strongly impact these two aspects ...
Classification of wooden housing building systems
(2016-01-01)
Wooden housing is one of the most sustainable building alternatives. In many European and North American countries, wooden houses provide the most common, economical, and practical solution for construction. The timber ...
Assessment of the seismic performance of a RC building designed following two alternative approaches: NCh433+DS61 versus ACHISINA PBEE requirements.
(Universidad de Concepción.Departamento de Ingeniería Civil, 2023)
Chile is one of the world's most seismically active countries, with two earthquakes on the list of the ten largest earthquakes ever recorded (Mw 9.5 Valdivia, 1960; Mw 8.8 Maule, 2010). The seismic design of buildings in ...
Bio-Inspired Electricity Storage Alternatives to Support Massive Demand-Side Energy Generation: A Review of Applications at Building Scale
(MDPI, 2021-07-26)
This work has its origin in the growing demands of energy regulations to meet future local targets and to propose a global implementation framework. A literature review related to conventional electrical energy storage ...
AUTOMATIC BUILDING CHANGE DETECTION USING MULTI-TEMPORAL AIRBORNE LiDAR DATA
(Ieee, 2020-01-01)
The automatic detection of building changes is an essential process for urban area monitoring, urban planning, and database update. In this context, 3D information derived from multi-temporal airborne LiDAR scanning is one ...
