Possible benefits of capillary flow glazing in translucent wall elements (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Nestle, N., Pulbere, S., & Alston, M. (2018). Possible benefits of capillary flow glazing in translucent wall elements. In N/a

In many cases, artificial lighting and cooling are the two main factors for energy consumption in office buildings. This is even true for fully glazed buildings where directly transmitted natural light often needs to be controlled by shading in order...

Passive adaptive façades: examples from COST TU1403 Working Group 1 (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Mazzucchelli, E. S., Romano, R., Aelenei, L., Da, M., Gomes, G., Karlessi, T., …Aelenei, D. (2018). Passive adaptive façades: examples from COST TU1403 Working Group 1. In N/a

Buildings often adopt strategies based on the integration of solutions and technologies in façades capable of changing their behaviour in time to improve energy efficiency and comfort. Considering that the envelope is the main parameter that influenc... Read More about Passive adaptive façades: examples from COST TU1403 Working Group 1.

Temperature-dependent polymer absorber as a switchable state NIR reactor (2018)
Journal Article
Alston, M. E., & Barber, R. (2018). Temperature-dependent polymer absorber as a switchable state NIR reactor. Scientific Reports, 8(1), Article 15866. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-33485-w

This research studies a lower down transition temperature composite polymer, modulated by multi microchannel fluidic flows to advance a thermally controllable material. Through modulating volumetric flow rates to manipulate fluid-material interface f... Read More about Temperature-dependent polymer absorber as a switchable state NIR reactor.
