Windows are often pointed to as the weakest elements in building facades, given their low thermal resistance. Consequently, they are a main focus during building retrofits, when their substitution is often considered an expensive but... more
Acoustic transmission describes the transfer of sound through materials. The insulation provided by building facades against airborne sound transmission has significant impact on the acoustic comfort of their indoor environments. External... more
The need to reduce energy consumption in buildings leads to the development of new facade systems that can be energy efficient; thus, contributing significantly to heat transfer between outdoor and indoor spaces. Here, the versatility and... more
Purpose Application of nanotechnology in construction sector brings innovation to building materials like self-cleaning and antifog. These features make it possible to shorten the maintenance and repair periods of building materials, and... more
This paper describes a conservative analytical approach for quantification of glazing hazard in terms of number of casualties among building occupiers from flying glass fragments produced by shattered windows due to external explosive... more
In this investigation, TiO2 and Ag based single and multilayer-films were deposited on microscope glass slides with varying individual layer thicknesses by radio-frequency reactive magnetron sputtering. Prior to multilayer development,... more

For typical high-rise residential building in Hong Kong, we evaluated the impact of using switchable glazing on energy use for space cooling. By using software EnergyPlus, it was found that application of switchable glazing would lead to... more
Windows have a major influence on indoor comfort and are critical factors in terms of the energy consumption of buildings. Accordingly, the design and performance of window glazing and frames are key elements in the implementation of... more
The use of vacuum glazed windows is increasing due to their application in modern building design. Among various types of vacuum glazed windows reported in literature, thermal transmittance of single glass sheet (conventional window) i.e... more
The growth of Western urban landscapes in the aftermath of World War II brought new standards of com-fort and convenience; one of the emblematic products of this modernization was glazing. Openings became larger, enhancing transparency... more

Polymer electrolytes containing poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) and lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI) can serve as model electrolytes for electrochromic devices. Such electrolytes were characterized by differential scanning... more
Betons, composites, verres... Les materiaux utilises dans le domaine de la construction evoluent sans cesse.
Solar gain and thermal energy transfer through windows is studied for three different sites in Jordan using the TRNSYS computer program. Solar and thermal energy is calculated using the monthly average daily data for the above-mentioned... more
This paper aims to verify the impact of glazing façade system on the thermal performance of residential environments, applying the revision of the Brazilian Standard 15575/2021. The object of study adopted was a living room of a high-cost... more
Traditional windows cannot adapt to external and internal environmental conditions. Smart windows are the next generation of windows, which can change their thermal and optical properties to control indoor environmental conditions.... more
Résumé: Durant les décennies d’après-guerre, le vitrage isolant fait son apparition dans l’architecture belge et française. Parvenant à résoudre une équation a priori insoluble, il apporte transparence et isolation devenant ainsi un... more
