Comparison between different measures to reduce cooling requirements of residential building in cooling-dominated environment
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
In hot climate region like Arabian Peninsula, air conditioning systems are the major energy consumer. Therefore, there are compelling reasons to study the energy requirements in buildings sector to reduce the energy ...
Cultural meanings embedded in the facade of Italian migrants' houses in brisbane, Australia
(
Archnet-IJAR
, 2017 , Article)
In the Post-WWII period, while industrial production in Italy had diminished and millions of people were unemployed, Australia was facing the opposite problem of shortage of labour, due to a rapid agricultural and industrial ...
Cultural traditions and architectural form of Italian transnational houses in Australia
(
ArchNet
, 2015 , Article)
The purpose of this article is to investigate the connection between cultural traditions and house form which, according to scholars, is in danger of being lost, and so contribute to the revival of critical interest in ...
Integration of Captivate and JOOMLA: Online demonstration and assessment elearning resources
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE)
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
The system uses Adobe Captivate [1] to create and generate the learning and assessments materials in PDF format to allow students to access the learning materials and to do the assessment interactively. Each assessment is ...
Combined effect of global warming and buildings envelope on the performance of ground source heat pump systems
(
Springer Link
, 2014 , Book chapter)
Heating and cooling systems as well as domestic hot water account for over 50 % of the world’s energy consumption. Due to their high thermal performance, ground source heat pump systems (GSHP) have been increasingly used ...
Soil-concrete interface properties subjected to temperature changes and cycles using direct shear tests
(
American Society of Civil Engineers Library (ASCE Library)
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Geothermal foundations (energy piles) combine the structural function of deep foundations with the ground source heat exchangers to transfer geothermal energy to superstructures. The intermittent operation of the geothermal ...
Potential of geothermal energy for electricity generation in Qatar
(
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
There is general acceptance that climate change, which is the most important challenge facing humanity, is anthropogenic and attributed to fossil fuel consumption. Therefore, improving the performance of our existing energy ...
Recycling low grade waste heat to electricity
(
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Most mining and metallurgical industries produce relatively large quantities of low grade waste heat which they vent, for the most part, to the environment. To date, little is being done to recover some of this heat and ...
Geothermal energy extraction from decommissioned petroleum wells
(
International Society for Rock Mechanics
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Abandoned wells impose enduring liabilities to petroleum companies and/or governments. However, the depth and abundance of abandoned petroleum wells make them an economically attractive source of geothermal energy. Geothermal ...
A novel technique for extraction of geothermal energy from abandoned oil wells
(2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the possibility of design and construction of a geothermal heat exchanger suitable for installation in abandoned oil wells. Based on the in-situ data collected, an amenable heat transfer numerical ...
