The method involves performing insulation of external walls of old buildings by using heating elements. A porous mixture is used as an insulating material having a low U-value and low specific weight. Multiple slats are horizontally and vertically laid, unevenness of the external wall is ...
Furthermore, surfactant/particle free foam templates will most likely result after polymerisation in predominantly closed-cell macroporous polymers; [37,38] aiming for polymer foams with an interconnected pore structure researchers have to explore methods to open the pore walls in the foam templated ...
If it is possible to check if the valve of the HC is open or closed. If it is open it needs heating from te boiler if it is closed it doesn't. A script will poll all HC's every 5 minutes and if one of them needs heating it gives a value of 1 to a global variable. If the...
The experimental points of the other techniques are also shown in grey for comparison. The dotted lines represent the models proposed by Gibson and Ashby: Closed-cell (Eq. 3), Open-cell (Eq. 4), and Honeycomb out-of-plane (Eq. 5). Blue points in (D) and purple in (C) ...
I sometimes wonder if the “oversleeping” people are doing that thing where you wake up, don’t feel like getting up, stay in bed with your eyes closed, fall asleep again, repeat. I never do this. As soon as I wake up I get up and stay up. This also makes me think I’m not...

The present project investigated the hygrothermal performance and risk of mould growth in solid masonry walls fitted with three diffusion-open capillary active interior insulation systems installed in containers with a controlled indoor climate. The project was carried out as a large experimental study ...
Open Access— free for readers, with article processing charges (APC) paid by authors or their institutions. High Visibility: indexed within Scopus and other databases. Rapid Publication: manuscripts are peer-reviewed and a first decision is provided to authors approximately 20.8 days after submission...
Closed- and open-cell polyurethane (PUR) foams can be used as efficient thermal insulation materials. Closed-cell PUR foams are applied for the hydro and thermal insulation of the roofs, walls and foundations of buildings. The foams of this type have apparent densities of 30–60 kg/m3, ...
