Trends on sustainability in Saudi building industry: advances and challenges (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alyami, M., Omer, S., & Riffat, S. (2019, August). Trends on sustainability in Saudi building industry: advances and challenges. Presented at 18th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

In developing countries like Saudi Arabia, the experience of a rapid rate of urbanization and infrastructure expansion, especially with respect to buildings, is immense. In Saudi Arabia, the role of buildings is even more important as they account fo... Read More about Trends on sustainability in Saudi building industry: advances and challenges.

A novel hybrid dew point cooling system for mobile applications (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Worall, M., Dicken, A., Shatat, M., Gledhill, S., & Riffat, S. (2018, September). A novel hybrid dew point cooling system for mobile applications. Presented at 8th Heat Powered Cycles Conference 2018, Bayreuth, Germany

A novel dew point cooling system for truck cabin cooling has been designed and tested, which shows excellent performance in environments of low to medium relative humidity. Experimental results showed that cooling capacity of over 1kW could be achiev... Read More about A novel hybrid dew point cooling system for mobile applications.

Experimental studies of a pulse pressurisation technique for measuring building airtightness (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zheng, X., Cooper, E., Zu, Y., Gillott, M., Tetlow, D., Riffat, S., & Wood, C. (2018, August). Experimental studies of a pulse pressurisation technique for measuring building airtightness. Presented at 17th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technology (SET 2018), Wuhan, China

A pulse pressurisation technique is developed and utilised for determining building leakage at low pressure, based on a 'quasi-steady pulse' concept. The underlying principle of the technique is to subject the building envelope to a known volume chan...

Reducing greenhouse energy consumption using novelty rooftop: a simulation (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Harjunowibowo, D., Yate, D., Omer, S. A., & Riffat, S. B. Reducing greenhouse energy consumption using novelty rooftop: a simulation. Presented at 16th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies – SET 2017

Recently, more than 80% of total energy of commercial greenhouse in the northern hemisphere is used just for heating. Mostly, the energy loss happens up to 40% caused by the poor U-value of the façades. Therefore, by lowering the U-value would decrea...

A novel high capacity space efficient heat storage system for domestic applications (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ramadan, M. E., Omer, S., & Riffat, S. A novel high capacity space efficient heat storage system for domestic applications. Presented at Solar TR2016: Solar Conference & Exhibition

Energy consumption in domestic buildings is dominated by space heating 60 percent followed by hot water 14 percent in the UK. Space heating and water heating confers a disparate set of industrial challenges to the manufacture and this is a very deman...

Recent passive technologies of greenhouse systems: a review (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Harjunowibowo, D., Cuce, E., Omer, S. A., & Riffat, S. B. Recent passive technologies of greenhouse systems: a review. Presented at 15th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies

There are 130 countries produces greenhouse vegetables commercially with more than 1.1 million acres in 2016. Most of the greenhouses deal with high operating costs due to the great energy needs. The high heat loss because of the greenhouse envelope... Read More about Recent passive technologies of greenhouse systems: a review.

Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Worall, M., Omer, S., & Riffat, S. Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system. Presented at 9th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies

Transport refrigeration contributes to anthropogenic global warming directly because of leakage of refrigerant, usually using high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, and indirectly because of the greenhouse gases emitted in driving the vehi...
