The Rice University School of Architecture is honored to welcome six new faculty members to its academic community.

Energy simulations of existing dwellings are often impeded by the complexity of assigning appropriate model inputs. While data-driven calibration is an effective method to reduce variance between measured and simulated datasets, significant effort is required for monitoring and auditing. A new minimum input calibration method is proposed, where the number of inputs is greatly reduced through a three-step sensitivity analysis creating an input set with the most influential parameters on internal ...

This paper presents a numerical investigation of dew formation on the roofs of buildings, and its influence on building thermal and energy performance. A new semi-analytical model was developed to evaluate the effects of rooftop dew, including the release/absorption of latent heat due to condensation/evaporation, the variation of apparent thermal emittance of the roof upper surface, and the dew runoff characterised based on laboratory experiments. A set of case study simulations was carried out ...

autoevolution If you know anything about the UK, you know that the phrase “scorching hot” isn’t that often associated with anything that happens here. Yet in London, back in 2013, there was a building that could melt cars, fry eggs, start fires, and cause sunburn. This London Glass Skyscraper Could Melt Jaguars, Fry Eggs and Start Fires 5 Apr 2021, 14:00 UTC · by File this under “fascinating car-related trivia:” the building is officially called 20 Fenchurch Street, after the n...
