Residential building energy performance evaluation for different climate zones (2019)
Journal Article
Albogami, S., & Boukhanouf, R. (2019). Residential building energy performance evaluation for different climate zones. IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 329, https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/329/1/012026

The building sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia accounts for a large proportion of energy consumption. This paper investigates energy consumption in residential type A villa buildings constructed by the Ministry of Housing. The study specifically...

Review of Strategy for Assessing the Thermal Performance of Institutional Building Form in Hot Dry Climates of Nigeria (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Adamu Bena, A., Gillott, M., & Boukhanouf, R. (2019). Review of Strategy for Assessing the Thermal Performance of Institutional Building Form in Hot Dry Climates of Nigeria. In Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (SET 2019), 20-22 August 2019, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Achieving comfortable indoor environment in buildings in hot climates requires enormous amounts of cooling energy specifically if passive design techniques were not considered from the outset of the construction process. For instance, overheating in... Read More about Review of Strategy for Assessing the Thermal Performance of Institutional Building Form in Hot Dry Climates of Nigeria.
