Materials characterization of innovative composite materials for solar-driven thermochemical heat storage (THS) suitable for building application (2017)
Journal Article
Jarimi, H., Aydin, D., Zhang, Y., Ding, Y., Ramadan, O., Chen, X., …Riffat, S. (2018). Materials characterization of innovative composite materials for solar-driven thermochemical heat storage (THS) suitable for building application. International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 13(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctx017

Thermochemical Heat Storage (THS) systems have recently attracted a lot of attention in research and development. One of the main parameters that influence the performance of a THS system is the thermochemical materials. This paper aims to investigat...

Reducing greenhouse energy consumption using novelty rooftop: a simulation (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Harjunowibowo, D., Yate, D., Omer, S. A., & Riffat, S. B. (2017). Reducing greenhouse energy consumption using novelty rooftop: a simulation.

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...
