An active sunlight redirection system for daylight enhancement beyond the perimeter zone
(2017)Over the past years, extensive research has been carried out in the creation of working environments that utilize natural light as their primary source of illumination. Transferring glare-free daylight into the core of the ... -
Analysis of the dynamic air conditioning loads, fuel consumption and emissions of heavy-duty trucks with different glazing and paint optical properties
(2022)The European transportation sector employs 10 million people and accounts for 4.6% of the European Union GDP. Due to climate change, this workforce is increasingly affected by high temperatures and radiant loads, particularly ... -
Analysis of the impact of automatic shading control scenarios on occupant's comfort and energy load
(2021)Building envelopes should be responsive to boundary conditions changing in short-time, daily, or seasonal patterns. To this end, adaptive facades provide the ability to react, or benefit from, outdoor fluctuations and ... -
Estimation of ground-level O3 using soft computing techniques: case study of Amritsar, Punjab State, India
(2022)Over the years, many organizations across the globe have conducted various studies pertaining to air pollution and its ill effects. The results of these studies substantially conclude that a plethora of people succumbs to ... -
Health vs. wealth: Employer, employee and policy-maker perspectives on occupational heat stress across multiple European industries
(2021)Successful implementation of cooling strategies obviously depends on identifying effective interventions, but in industrial settings, it is equally important to consider feasibility and economic viability. Many cooling ... -
The HEAT-SHIELD project — Perspectives from an inter-sectoral approach to occupational heat stress
(2021)Objectives: To provide perspectives from the HEAT-SHIELD project (www.heat-shield.eu): a multi-national, inter-sectoral, and cross-disciplinary initiative, incorporating twenty European research institutions, as well as ... -
The impacts of sun exposure on worker physiology and cognition: Multi-country evidence and interventions
(2021)Background: A set of four case-control (n = 109), randomized-controlled (n = 7), cross-sectional (n = 78), and intervention (n = 47) studies was conducted across three countries to investigate the effects of sun exposure ... -
Innovative control approaches to assess energy implications of adaptive facades based on simulation using EnergyPlus
(2020)The current development of shading systems which respond to both environmental and human inputs; leads to envisioning an envelope that is multifunctional, responsive and dynamic, named as Adaptive Facades (AFs). The key ... -
A novel pattern of leaf movement: The case of Capparis spinosa L.
(2016)A novel type of heliotropic leaf movement is presented for Capparis spinosa L., a summer perennial shrub of Mediterranean and arid ecosystems. In contrast to plants that demonstrate uniform diaheliotropic and/or paraheliotropic ... -
Performance optimization of a solar adsorption chiller by dynamically adjusting the half-cycle time
(2021)The half-cycle time effect on the performance of a solar single-stage dual-bed adsorption chiller, in Athens, Greece, in July, is investigated. The adsorption chiller coupled with the solar system is simulated, in real ... -
Proposed framework for forecasting heat-effects on motor-cognitive performance in the Summer Olympics
(2021)Heat strain impairs performance across a broad spectrum of sport disciplines. The impeding effects of hyperthermia and dehydration are often ascribed to compromised cardiovascular and muscular functioning, but expert ... -
Working in a warming world: Translating thermal physiology to policy-relevant information
(2022)[No abstract available] -
Yearly numerical evaluation of greenhouse cover materials
(2018)The greenhouse internal microclimate, and consequently the plants growth, is formed from the combination of available solar radiation and ventilation. Transpiration and photosynthesis are affected by the PAR levels, as ...
