The global interest in nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEBs) has led to their establishment as
mandatory building objectives in Europe for all new constructions starting in 2021. The …

In the physics-based simulation of urban geometries, the outdoor environment was usually
simulated separately from buildings–until recently, when the holistic assessment of the …

The thermal insulation design for building envelopes in winter is traditionally based on
steady-state heat transfer, which is the common ground of related building energy efficiency …

The impacts of solar radiation on indoor thermal comfort are growing with the popularity of
curtain walls in modern constructions. In order to accurately assess indoor thermal comfort …

The revival of traditional latticework mashrabiyya is continually urged in the Middle East and
