Understanding building height is imperative to the overall study of energy efficiency, population distribution, urban morphologies, emergency response, among others. Currently, existing approaches for modelling building height at scale are hindered by two pervasive issues.
We have been working to adapt background oriented schlieren (BOS) imaging to directly visualize building leakage, which is fast and easy.
Among the methods for point source carbon capture, the absorption of CO2 using aqueous amines (namely MEA) from the post-combustion gas stream is currently considered the most promising.
The incorporation of low embodied carbon building materials in the enclosure is increasing the fuel load for fire, increasing the demand for fire/flame retardants.
This work seeks to alter the interface condition through thermal history modification, deposition energy density, and interface surface preparation to prevent interface cracking.
Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the incremental buildup of monolithic components with a variety of materials, and material deposition locations.
The traditional window installation process involves many steps. These are becoming even more complex with newer construction requirements such as installation of windows over exterior continuous insulation walls.
Commercial closed-cell insulation foam boards reduce their thermal resistivity by up to 30% due to gas diffusion in and out of foam cells.
