Measurements of the thermal behaviour two residential buildings equipped with a green roof system have been performed in Athens, Greece. Experimental data used to calibrate detailed simulation tools and specific energy environmental performance planted roofs has estimated detail. Simulations for free-floating thermostatically controlled conditions. The expected benefits as well possible improvements indoor comfort assessed. It is found that limited contribution heating demand insulated...

A study of indoor environmental quality inside the old (naturally ventilated) and new (air-conditioned) train cabins platforms four main stations Athens subway system (Attiko Metro), took place in different two-day measurements from June to August 2012. Portable instrumentation provided continuous particulate matter (PM<sub>10</sub>, PM<sub>2.5 </sub>and PM<sub>1</sub>), carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) along with temperature (T) absolute humidity (AH). PM concentrations were significantly...

Several parameters, including specific surface area, morphology, crystal size, and dopant concentration, play a significant role in improving the photocatalytic performance of ZnO. However, it is still unclear which these parameters enhancing activity. Herein, undoped Mn-, Co-, Cu-doped platelet-like zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures were synthesized via facile microwave synthetic route, their ultraviolet (UV) visible-light-induced activities, by monitoring gaseous acetaldehyde (CH3CHO)...

Abstract The Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) region hosts some of the world’s most influential troubled cities. It is also a hotspot climate change socio-economic political turbulence, which inflate already flammable conditions reinforce existing local vulnerabilities. Some arduous challenges cities relate to built environment – although vital for human well-being, buildings rarely offer both sufficient affordable shelter their inhabitants. With energy performance regulations...
