Journal Article
Farouq, M. M., Mirzaei, P. A., Jimenez-Bescos, C., & Riffat, S. (2024). Experimental and numerical study on the thermal performance of earthbag-wall units incorporated with phase change materials. Journal of Building Engineering, 90, Article 109306. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jobe.2024.109306

The demand for temporary housing for refugees and displaced communities has led to the development of earthbag buildings. While these structures are affordable and sustainable, they often struggle with thermal discomfort in extreme climates. This stu...

Contemporary Evaporative Cooling System with Indirect Interaction in Construction Implementations: A Theoretical Exploration (2024)
Journal Article
Cuce, P. M., Cuce, E., & Riffat, S. (2024). Contemporary Evaporative Cooling System with Indirect Interaction in Construction Implementations: A Theoretical Exploration. Buildings, 14(4), Article 994. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings14040994

The construction sector, including in developed countries, plays a notable part in the overall energy consumption worldwide, being responsible for 40% of it. In addition to this, heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems constitute the...
