Methodology for quality checks for energy efficient buildings
(NUI Galway, 2017-03-01)
The built environment accounts for more than 40% of the overall energy consumption and 36% of the overall CO2 emissions in Europe. Moreover, statistics show that construction and the upkeep of European buildings and ...
Attitudes and approaches of Irish retrofit industry professionals towards achieving nearly zero-energy buildings
(Emerald, 2017-04-10)
Abstract
Purpose
There is profound demand for higher skills and expertise in retrofitting the existing building stock of Europe. The delivery of low- or nearly zero-energy retrofits is highly dependent on technical ...
Super-insulate or use renewable technology? Life cycle cost, energy and global warming potential analysis of nearly zero energy buildings (NZEB) in a temperate oceanic climate
(Elsevier, 2017-01-13)
There are numerous strategies available to design and construct a low energy or nearly zero energy building (NZEB). However, the design strategy for a building depends on a high number of factors including location, climate, ...
Permeability of carbon fibre PEEK composites for cryogenic storage tanks of future space launchers
(Elsevier, 2017-06-15)
This work presents an experimental investigation into the permeability of carbon fibre (CF) polyetheretherketone (PEEK) for cryogenic storage tanks for space applications. The effects of cryogenic cycling, manufacturing ...
