A Variation of Positioning Phase Change Materials (PCMs) Within Building Enclosures and Their Utilization Toward Thermal Performance
Recently, buildings have been receiving more serious attention to help reduce global energy consumption. At the same time, thermal comfort has become an increasing concern for building occupants. Phase Change Materials (PCMs), which are capable of storing and releasing significant amounts of energy …

The Impact of Different Passive Roof Construction Types on Building Thermal Performance / Experimental Method for Optimizing the Thermal Performance of Building Enclosures
Buildings are large consumers of energy worldwide, responsible for roughly 40% of the world’s primary energy consumption. In regions with hot climatic conditions such as Iraq, a substantial portion of energy goes to building space cooling loads. Although all components of the building enclosure are …

Dynamic building enclosures : the design of an innovative constructive system which permits mechanically-driven, computer-controlled shape transformations to the building envelope
Dynamic Building Enclosures is a system of prefabricated, lightweight, kit-of-parts wall and/or roof elements. This system has the unique capability of dynamically altering, or mutating its shape in reaction to changing user requirements or site climate conditions through the manipulation of a …

The Effect of Green Insulation Standards on Moisture Accumulation within Framing of Residential Structures
Green building standards recommend use of a variety of new thermal insulation products. However, durability of wooden framing used in conjunction with new insulation materials has not been thoroughly examined, specifically in reference to interstitial condensation. This research used a single-sided …

A Draft Resolution Supporting The Municipal Authority to Rearrange: A Non-Optimized Methodology for Doing Less
Buildings are outdoor objects. They are enclosures that are detached and extended outward from the body in order to warm, cool, or otherwise insulate persons, animals, or objects deemed worthy of protection. Containers of space and air, building enclosures create barriers to temperature, moisture, …
