cool air enters one side and warm air exits the opposite, is essential for air quality. Façade patterns on the north and south should be staggered, not grid-aligned, to enhance airflow. The design must also account for factors such as wind direction, sun orientation, and weather to ...
The concept has been proposed and validated in the literature [36] to predict the so-called minimum daylight autonomy (DAmin), which is derived from the estimation of solar altitude and azimuth throughout the year using the standard CIE overcast sky, instead of the Perez (all weather) sky ...
If the weather conditions are favourable, it is possible to proceed with the take-off and pilot the UAV while maintaining complete control over it, which translates into high efficiency in capturing the desired images. The location of the images is an important factor in the next stage of the...
All of these recordings were taken on days with no adverse weather conditions (i.e., no excessive winds or rain). The recording device was a high-precision B&K Pulse data acquisition device, managed through the Sonoscout® v. 2.0.443 software. This device was connected to a B&K Type 410...
A temperature increase of 2 °C in the Mediterranean Basin will cause unexpected weather events, heat waves, and an increase in the number and impact of forest fires, and thus loss of biodiversity and agricultural productivity, and most importantly, drought. In Turkey, arid and semi-arid ...
Engineers use double-skin façades (DSF) to lower the energy consumption of buildings as they can potentially control incoming wind speeds and the amount of solar heat gain. The purpose of this present study was to (1) evaluate the use of DSFs, (2) its efficacy in improving the energy ...
