Design strategies for thermal improvements in social housing: Applications in the town of San Lorenzo de Tarapacá, Chile (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Devilat, B., & Lanuza, F. (2007, September). Design strategies for thermal improvements in social housing: Applications in the town of San Lorenzo de Tarapacá, Chile. Presented at 6th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies SET 07, Santiago, Chile

The approach to social housing solutions in Chile have been historically focused mainly as an economical issue, but not paying enough attention to quality design, neither environmental concern. This situation becomes critical when standard solutions... Read More about Design strategies for thermal improvements in social housing: Applications in the town of San Lorenzo de Tarapacá, Chile.

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...

Do they have designs on us or for us? (or Beware of Greeks bearing gifts)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jarman, D. Do they have designs on us or for us? (or Beware of Greeks bearing gifts). Presented at Regional Urbanism in the Era of Globalisation

In this paper I am proposing that for a regional project designed by foreign entities to be truly successful the understanding of the culture of the key stakeholders needs to be two way. Not only does the designer need to learn and understand the rel... Read More about Do they have designs on us or for us? (or Beware of Greeks bearing gifts).

A simulation-based framework for a mapping tool that assesses the energy performance of green roofs
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kokogiannakis, G., & Darkwa, J. A simulation-based framework for a mapping tool that assesses the energy performance of green roofs. Presented at International Congress on Informatics, Environment, Energy and Applications (IEEA 2012)

This paper presents a framework for the development of a GIS open source mapping tool that aims to disseminate a database with results of detailed simulations in order to assess in a quick and easy way the energy performance of green roof designs acr...

Power conditioning of thermoelectric generated power using dc-dc converters: a case study of a boost converter
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Twaha, S., Zhu, J., & Yan, Y. Power conditioning of thermoelectric generated power using dc-dc converters: a case study of a boost converter. Presented at International Symposium of Heat Transfer and Heat Powered Cycles 2016

The near exhaustion of non-renewable energy resources such as fossil fuels followed by disastrous climatic changes have alerted the world to invest in alternative energy sources. Thermoelectric (TE) technology is responsible for innovating TE devices...
