Virtual Reality as a tool for evaluating user acceptance of view clarity through ETFE double-skin façades (2020)
Journal Article
Flor, J.-F., Aburas, M., Abd-Alhamid, F., & Wu, Y. (2021). Virtual Reality as a tool for evaluating user acceptance of view clarity through ETFE double-skin façades. Energy and Buildings, 231, Article 110554. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2020.110554

Equipping building envelopes with an additional layer is an effective measure for improving the overall thermal and daylighting performance and reducing the energy consumption of buildings. This study investigated the user acceptance of energy-savi... Read More about Virtual Reality as a tool for evaluating user acceptance of view clarity through ETFE double-skin façades.

Evaluating the impact of viewing location on view perception using a virtual environment (2020)
Journal Article
Abd-Alhamid, F., Kent, M., Calautit, J., & Wu, Y. (2020). Evaluating the impact of viewing location on view perception using a virtual environment. Building and Environment, 180, Article 106932. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2020.106932

Window views are an important design feature in buildings. Views can impact the cognitive attention, psychological and physiological well-being of building occupants due to their ability to provide recovery in stressful working environments. The impa...

A 3D printed drug delivery implant formed from a dynamic supramolecular polyurethane formulation (2020)
Journal Article
Salimi, S., Wu, Y., Barreiros, M. I. E., Natfji, A. A., Khaled, S., Wildman, R., …Hayes, W. (2020). A 3D printed drug delivery implant formed from a dynamic supramolecular polyurethane formulation. Polymer Chemistry, 11(20), 3453-3464. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0py00068j

© 2020 The Royal Society of Chemistry. Using a novel molecular design approach, we have prepared a thermo-responsive supramolecular polyurethane as a matrix material for use in drug eluting implants. The dynamic supramolecular polyurethane (SPU) is a... Read More about A 3D printed drug delivery implant formed from a dynamic supramolecular polyurethane formulation.

Toward a Sustainable Decentralized Water Supply: Review of Adsorption Desorption Desalination (ADD) and Current Technologies: Saudi Arabia (SA) as a Case Study (2020)
Journal Article
Alnajdi, O., Wu, Y., & Calautit, J. K. (2020). Toward a Sustainable Decentralized Water Supply: Review of Adsorption Desorption Desalination (ADD) and Current Technologies: Saudi Arabia (SA) as a Case Study. Water, 12(4), Article 1111. https://doi.org/10.3390/w12041111

Several regions are confronting a severe scarcity of fresh water due to the gap between supply and demand. They strive to bridge that gap by depleting nonrenewable water aquifers and expanding centralized energy-intensive desalination technologies. C...
