Sustainable techniques for thermal comfort in buildings designed used by worshipers (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Alabdullatief, A., & Omer, S. (2017). Sustainable techniques for thermal comfort in buildings designed used by worshipers.

Thermal comfort in building is a trendy that has been under investigation by many researchers. The mosque, for Muslim worshippers, is one of the most popular religious buildings. The demand of new mosques is continuously increasing due to the increas... Read More about Sustainable techniques for thermal comfort in buildings designed used by worshipers.

Feasibility of double-skin façades for multi-storeys office buildings in Amman/Jordan: an insight into thermal performance for both summer and winter peak conditions (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Amaireh, I., Gan, G., Omer, S., & Zeinelabdein, R. (2017). Feasibility of double-skin façades for multi-storeys office buildings in Amman/Jordan: an insight into thermal performance for both summer and winter peak conditions.

Amman, the capital city of Jordan, usually experiences a hot dry summer with high solar radiations and a cold-wet winter. While the entire state of Jordan faces serious shortages in energy sources, significant growth in both industrial investment and...

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...

Free cooling based phase change material for domestic buildings in hot arid climate (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Zeinelabdein, R., Omer, S., Mohamed, E., Amaireh, I., & Gan, G. (2017). Free cooling based phase change material for domestic buildings in hot arid climate.

Free cooling based phase change materials (FCPCM) are promising sustainable technologies which could be used to store the cold energy available during summer nights in a sufficient latent heat storage for later utilisation during the daytime. This cu... Read More about Free cooling based phase change material for domestic buildings in hot arid climate.
