Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become an emerging digital technology in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. There is a growing demand on applying BIM for sustainable design including building energy simulation (BES). Lack of sufficient interoperability caused barriers to utilize information from BES. In this study, between four different BES tools (i.e., Ecotect, EQUEST, Design Builder IES-VE) was explored by using case study residential stage. The...

This research proposes the application of a holistic methodology for accurate assessment financial and environmental feasibility applying thermal insulation materials, including advanced materials such as vacuum panels (VIPs), energy efficient building retrofit. The is applied to case study in which different both traditional (Mineral wool; XPS) are internal typical office requiring simulated through dynamic performance simulation under climate conditions evaluate its annual needs. Financial...

In our society, we see water tanks as reservoirs, which are typically placed on the rooftops of buildings. Inconventional storage tanks, an automatic tank controlling and monitoring system is absent. Therefore, wastage due to overflow a widespread scenario that occurs in neighborhood now then. If consider total amount freshwater overflow, it would be very significant. Water leads water. Moreover, during this time, motor consumes electricity not useful. An can save also reduce users'...

This paper presents evidence of a ‘Safety Gap’ in buildings for fire performance and reviews different approaches to achieving Fire safety England Wales, UK, Research & Enterprise Innovation Funded project at Cardiff Metropolitan University. One aspect the Gap is potential defects construction from incorrect installation, missing, inappropriate or defective components, that make up compartmentation, stoppings workmanship errors, enable rapid smoke spread across compartments, so preventing...

Windows are a major area of heat loss in buildings and can lose up to 10 times more energy than other building elements. In typical house, around 10% is lost through the windows. Thermal shutters could considerably reduce losses windows improve performance buildings. Insulation plays role overall thermal shutters. Advance insulation material such as Vacuum Panel (VIP) help improving window VIP with conductivity 0.005-0.008 W/mK high resistance efficient alternative conventional materials....

This paper evaluates the present evidence of smoke spread due to problems in compartmentation and also reviews different test methods which can be employed identify these during construction stages. Since 2010, has emerged that rapid occurs between UK buildings, including where accredited details and/or robust are specified [1,2]. It is considered this could incorrect installation, missing, inappropriate or defective components, make up fire stopping within concealed spaces [1–3]. These...

Composite insulation panels (CIPs) currently used in building façades require significant design changes, e.g. increased thickness to realize higher thermal and sound performance. This study deals with the manufacturing characterization of smart façade for achieving dual characteristics one panel without a increase thickness. Prototype were manufactured using vacuum core (VIC) combined mass loaded vinyl (MLV) layers. Thermal transmission weighted reduction index (Rw) was experimentally...

According to ways-to-die website, over 150,000 people die every day. And the most common cause of death, i.e., about 20% all deaths, is heart diseases. So, crucial contribution from our side lower this percentage can be monitor cardiac values as much possible. There are conventional methods measure patients' health and condition, but they laborious; have possibilities errors; nocturnal monitoring has well been very difficult. Moreover, since 2019, COVID19 caused more than five million deaths...

In this study, the blade coating technique was used for gettinge ZnO films and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The analysis indicated that particle crystallite nature along with a usual hexagonal wurtzite sturcture. peak profile (XPPA) to validate development. Williamson-Hall (W-H) size-strain plot (SSP) were implemented determine sizes (D) lattice strain (e) of nanoparticles. XRD peaks further studied some physical parameters including strain, crystal stress, energy...

This article provides an overview of the electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis that has utilized to characterize photo-electrochemical prominence dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) prepared by various postdeposition treatments. Hot-compression technique been found as effective treatment compared compression and without for ZnO-based DSSC. In detail electron transport data presented analyzed in a different way support photocurrent-voltage, structural scanning microscopy image EIS...

In the constantly developing realm of Internet Things (IoT), guaranteeing fast data transfer and a smooth user experience is critical. IoT contexts with limited resources, congestion control crucial for sustaining network performance. This study suggests new strategy improving by deploying Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. LSTMs are recurrent neural networks (RNN), that excel at capturing temporal relationships patterns in data. IoT-specific such as traffic patterns, device...

Distributed Generation (DG) nowadays is becoming increasingly significant in electricity generation Constructively increase of Wind Turbine systems (WTs) and Solar Photovoltaic (PV) integration with grid has an impact on stable operation the transmissions. PV are highly intermittent. Its intermittency contribution will bring changes performance. Therefore, it progressively important for electrical operator to maintain a reliable transmission distribution systems. For Power Quality (PQ)...

In this investigation, electrophoretic deposition of Titanium Oxide (P25) nanoparticles on Fluorine doped Tin (FTO) substrate has been studied. Three parameters such as time, distance, and voltage have varied to get a uniform metal-oxide layer. The rate observed by varying those three parameters. Rate clearly increases an effect increasing time voltage. On the other hand, decreases distance between substrates. Surface morphology image shows that huge amount cracks are formed while beyond...
