description: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a commonly occurring childhood disorder that has lasting impacts into adolescence. Research has demonstrated the effects of ADHD on caregiver well-being. However, less is known about how ADHD symptoms longitudinally impact maternal depressive symptoms throughout their child’s adolescence. This study used data from a community sample of children and their mothers. Children were recruited in late childhood (M= 12.07, SD= 0.90) and followed for multiple years (M= 18.05, SD= 0.96). Mothers completed the Disruptive Behavior Disorder Rating Scale to obtain a measure of their child’s ADHD symptoms at baseline (i.e., when the child was approximately 11) as well as the CES-D annually throughout the course of their child’s adolescence. Latent Growth Modeling was used to model the intercept and slope of mothers’ self-reported depression symptoms scores across their participation in the study during their late childhood to late adolescent years (ages 12-18). Results indicated that the slope of maternal depressive symptoms was flat (unchanging) across their child’s adolescence. Childhood ADHD also significantly predicted the intercept of maternal depressive symptoms at child age 12 but did not predict the slope of maternal depressive symptoms across adolescence. The results of this study provide compelling evidence about the impact of ADHD symptoms on maternal mental health as well as the longevity of its effects. Therefore, it appears intervention efforts aimed at mothers with children with elevated ADHD symptoms are warranted especially prior to their child’s adolescence.

description: Oblique images are aerial photographs taken at oblique angles to the earth's surface. Projections of vector and other geospatial data in these images depend on camera parameters, positions of the geospatial entities, surface terrain, occlusions, and visibility. This paper presents a robust and scalable algorithm to detect inconsistencies in vector data using oblique images. The algorithm uses image descriptors to encode the local appearance of a geospatial entity in images. These image descriptors combine color, pixel-intensity gradients, texture, and steerable filter responses. A Support Vector Machine classifier is trained to detect image descriptors that are not consistent with underlying vector data, digital elevation maps, building models, and camera parameters. In this paper, we train the classifier on visible road segments and non-road data. Thereafter, the trained classifier detects inconsistencies in vectors, which include both occluded and misaligned road segments. The consistent road segments validate our vector, DEM, and 3-D model data for those areas while inconsistent segments point out errors. We further show that a search for descriptors that are consistent with visible road segments in the neighborhood of a misaligned road yields the desired road alignment that is consistent with pixels in the image.

Air Transport in Building Envelope and Construction Process

Publisher: name: 8th Symposium on Building Physics in the Nordic Countries
Year: 2008

description: The research programme, dealing with air transport in and through the building envelope, is ongoing and this presentation will summarize work done, point to ongoing activities and also invite communication. The programme has been presented previously and has three parts, modelling of convective processes in building components, systems modelling and analysis of air transport in and through the building envelope as part of a whole building, and air tightness for the building process, including transformation and demonstration of results for practical use.
Predictive modelling to evaluate air movements in and through the building envelope, are coupled to the outside climate and pressure situation. A major aim of the programme is to analyse problems of relevance to the building process.  This has included site inventories, modelling of typical situations and laboratory testing for input data and validation. The objective has also been to develop tools to help designing and evaluating building elements and to give a basis for estimating the convective transport of heat and moisture in the envelope. The programme is a joint activity between SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden, Chalmers University of Technology and the building industry. It has been found that many types of damages and problems are caused by poor airtightness, that airtightness is seldom given the proper consideration and that there is a major need for information on the effect of poor airtightness. Conclusions are that it is important to get developers/clients to treat airtightness more seriously and make them (more) aware of the potential damage that can be caused by poor airtightness, together with the “cost” of this and induce them to specify and monitor airtightness requirements more clearly.

description: This paper describes measurements in a test facility of the cooling capacity of the thermo active building system (TABS) combined with acoustic ceiling. Generally it has been expected that in order to maintain sufficient cooling capacity from the mainly radiant heat transfer, the concrete ceiling must be exposed directly to the room. This in practice would therefore impede the use of TABS in open plan offices, where acoustic ceilings are needed to ensure acceptable acoustic conditions. In this work, we have made measurements in a room equipped with TABS combined with an acoustic ceiling covering parts of the ceiling, so that both the acoustic and thermal requirements could be met. In the measurements 35%, 47%, 67% (two different patterns), 70% 83% and 100% were covered as well as different configurations using baffles. Both thermal (all configurations) and acoustic properties (some of them) were tested. The results showed that even with a covering of 83% of the ceiling surface area, the cooling capacity was still around 70% of the uncovered ceiling at the same time as the reverberation time in the room was acceptable. This shows that it is possible to combine acoustic ceilings and TABS.

description: Integrated design is important for passive buildings and it has to be started in the early stage of the design process. The proposal of a new dormitory building in Sisimiut, Greenland will be an object of the paper where shape of the building, indoor climate and energy needs are crucial factors to be considered in the design project. The architectural proposal for the dormitory has given the building a cylindrical shape which gives great opportunity to investigate the possible solutions in this building shape comparing to traditional shapes.

The task was to set up the functional requirements for the dormitory building on room level (number of rooms and bathrooms, kitchens, building site, indoor needs, etc.) and to optimize its design with respect to indoor environment (e.g. depth of room, insulation thickness and window design). For analysis and comparison, simulations of energy performance were done in the software iDbuild on room level with the number of alternative space solutions for individual room with common bathroom and common kitchen. The space of solutions was compared and combined and resulted in an answer to the design of the building/dormitory which gave the best possible solution with respect to indoor environment and energy performance.

The paper outlines the importance of Integrated Design in early stages of designing and building a well optimized Arctic Passive House. The objective of the paper is to evaluate important factors such as the extreme weather in Greenland, building design, energy performance and space of solutions in a climate where the need of saving energy costs is highly accentuated.
Experimental Study on Hygro-Thermo-Mechanical Characteristics of Cohesive Exterior Insulation Wall Assemblies

Publisher: name: 8th Symposium on Building Physics in the Nordic Countries
Year: 2008

description: Advantages of high performance building envelopes with exterior insulation are getting to be recognized in Japan and there exists several projects completed so far. However those envelopes are not yet quite popular in the construction marcket since they require a cost increase of 10% or higher. In order to develop a high performanse building envelope with an affordable cost, quality quantifications are very important for various kinds of construction methods on building wall assemblies with exterior insulation. Multiple performances, such as thermal resistance, thermal inertia, moisture resistance, moisture buffering and hygro-thermally induced dimensional change are to be quantified for better understanding on the coupled phenomena.
In the context described above, three specimens with different kinds of exterior insulation practices and a specimen for their reference were made and installed on the interface partition of a dual climate chambers in Kyoto Institute of Technology, and longterm measurement over six months have been carried out under transient hygro-thermal boundary conditions generated by the indoor and outdoor chambers. In this paper, experimental results on hygro-thermo-mechanical responses of wall specimens with exterior insulation will be presented.
In order to quantify transient hygro-thermo-mechanical changes, four specimens were made with about 140 sensors deviced in. Measurements have been carried out to record and analyze the complete responses of hygro-thermo-mechanical status for each specimens, which allow us to establish a trial benchmark data for developing a fully linked mathematical model of hygro-thermo-mechanical changes on building materials．
Two kinds of inorganic insulation materials are specially forcused in the experiment, which are popular in the cohesive exterior insulation detail in Japan. The most practical advangtage for these materials is that adhesive tile finishes can be applied on these underlays. However they are generally applied in the molding installation and supposed to be less permeable than EPS and finish mortars used in EIFS. This implies negative effects on the drying process of the internally captured moisture at the casting time. These insulation materials were installed in the specimens and thier hygro-thermo-mecanical characteristics have been quantified in the experiment. Recorded strain data will clarify the mechanical movement of adhesive mortar between tile and the underlay insulation materials with respect to the hygrothermal transient stuations.

Optimization problems with low-dimensional tensor structure
Creators: name: Kwon, Soo Min
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: In this thesis, we consider optimization problems that involve statistically estimating signals from tensor data. We observe that modelling the signals as tensors using tensor factorizations increases the accuracy of more closely estimating the true signal. We empirically show that this is a result of two reasons: (i) it reduces the number of parameters that need to be estimated, hinting at a decrease in sample complexity, and (ii) it allows us to take advantage of the low-rank property that many high-dimensional tensor data samples possess. We also show that while there exists a tradeoff between the accuracy of the reconstructed signal and the ranks according to the tensor decomposition, there often exists a rank that improves performance in sample-starved settings. We discuss these tradeoffs and develop algorithms for two of these applications, classification and phase retrieval, and demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithms under several different settings and performance metrics.

description: The demand on living room is growing continiously. Increased wealth is expressed with higher living space per person. The statement of higher prices for estate and a big amount of old buildings forces builder to think about the loft. Meanwhile there are a lot of possibilities to develope the loft. Insulation under rafter, between rafter, at the top of rafter, diffusion, moisture barriers, ecological and conventional materials of insulation are important factors for builders, architects, carpenters and the building industry. The Fraunhofer-Instiute for Building Physics in collaboration with association of carpenters has realized these topics with a new research and demonstration center for roof building.

In this center different variations for slope roof redevelopment are studied and demonstrated.  The main measurable variables are acquired, analyzed and explained to the end user in an easy way for understanding the influence of air humidity, temperature, heat flow, humidity of timber and the influence of solar radiation on the components. Since august 2007 the center is under operation. Currently six different types of retrofitting are hygrothermal measured.

(Figs 13, 14, 34, 35)
Type material. Holotype (Figs 13, 34): male, “ Myanmar, Chin State | Mount Victoria, 2200–2500m | montane pine forest | mid–late October 2012 | Dr. V. Kravchenko & team leg.” / “Slide | AV6853 ♂ | A. Volynkin ” (WIGJ).
Paratype: MYANMAR: male, the same data as in the holotype, gen. prep. No.: AV6863 (prepared by Volynkin) (GMF-B).
Diagnosis. The forewing length is 8.0 mm in males. Miltochrista pachia is externally very similar to the sympatric M. velona and identification requires the examination of the genitalia structures. The male genital capsule of the new species is reminiscent of M. velona, M. parallelinaformis and M. acutiseriata but differs clearly in the distally broader costa bearing a short but basally thick distal process curved inwards, and the markedly broader distal saccular process. Additionally, the uncus of M. pachia is longer and distally thicker than in the aforementioned congeners. The phallus of the new species is very similar to M. velona. The vesica structure of M. pachia is largely reminiscent of M. velona but distinguished by the longer distal cornutus.
The female is unknown.
Distribution. The species is currently known only from its type locality in Chin State of Myanmar.
Etymology. The specific epithet originates from the Greek ‘παχιά’ meaning ‘thick’ and refers to the thick costa of the valva. The name is a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.

description: The current generation of quantum sensing technologies using color centers in diamond crystals is primarily based on the principle that the resonant microwave frequency of the luminescence between quantum levels of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center varies with temperature, electric and magnetic fields. This principle enables us to measure, for instance, magnetic and electric fields, as well as local temperature with nanometer resolution in conjunction with a scanning probe microscope (SPM). However, the time resolution of conventional quantum sensing technologies has been limited to microseconds due to the limited luminescence lifetime. Here, we investigate ultrafast opto-magnetic effects in diamond crystals containing nitrogen-vacancy NV centers to improve the time resolution of quantum sensing to sub-picosecond time scales. The spin ensemble from diamond NV centers induces an inverse Cotton-Mouton effect (ICME) in the form of a sub-picosecond optical response in a femtosecond pump-probe measurement. The helicity and quadratic power dependence of the ICME can be interpreted as a second-order opto-magnetic effect in which ensembles of NV electron spins act as a source for the ICME. The results provide fundamental guidelines for enabling high-resolution spatial-time quantum sensing technologies when combined with SPM techniques.

description: There are a lot of uncertain factors involved in runoff analysis for urban area. Among others, accumulated non-point loadings on urban surface and in ditch or drains are eminent parameters, which are generally introduced as definite values into runoff model. However, it is desirable that these parameters are treated as continuous probability variables so as to discuss and make decision for effective counter measures based on the degree-of-belief of the model parameters. In order to obtain probability density function (PDF) of the parameters, distributed hydrologic model with Bayesian Monte Carlo (BMC) technique is applicable. BMC technique is a combination method of Bayes\342\200\231 inference and Monte Carlo technique. Although BMC technique has a significant benefit of the ability to reduce total model output uncertainty, it includes limitations of computational requirement. Especially, when it is necessary to treat a lot of parameters like distributed hydrologic model, the application of BMC becomes difficult. In this paper, new methodology for handling BMC procedure to remain the above benefit and to overcome its disadvantage is developed and proposed. And application results of distributed hydrologic model with BMC technique are presented.

description: We report on the development and application of a parametrized crystal-field model for both C$_{1}$ symmetry centers in trivalent erbium-doped Y$_{2}$SiO$_{5}$. High resolution Zeeman and temperature dependent absorption spectroscopy was performed to acquire the necessary experimental data. The obtained data, in addition to the ground ($^{4}$I$_{15/2}$Z$_{1}$) state and exited ($^{4}$I$_{13/2}$Y$_{1}$) state Zeeman and hyperfine structure, was simultaneously fitted in order to refine an existing crystal-field interpretation of the Er$^{3+}$:Y$_{2}$SiO$_{5}$ system. We demonstrate that it is possible to account for the electronic, magnetic and hyperfine structure of the full 4f$^{11}$ configuration of Er$^{3+}$:Y$_{2}$SiO$_{5}$ and further, that it is possible to predict both optical polarization behavior and high magnetic field hyperfine structure of transitions in the 1.5 $μ$m telecommunications band.

No.: AV6861 (prepared by Volynkin) (GMF-B).
Diagnosis. The forewing length is 8.5–9.0 mm in males and 9.5 mm in the female. Miltochrista ekliptika is externally reminiscent of the sympatric M. velona and M. pachia but distinguished in the thinner forewing markings and the somewhat more arcuate medial transverse line. The male genital capsule of the new species is clearly different from other congeners (except M. tinsukia below) in the proximally dilated uncus bearing two lateral triangular processes, and the vestigial distal saccular process. In the phallus, the large and ventrally directed coecum, and the broad and upcurved vesica bearing a robust distal a dorsalmedial cluster of one–three cornuti are characteristic of M. ekliptika. The female genitalia of the new species are characterised by the broad funnel-shaped antrum with two broad ventral subostial lobes, and the asymmetrical corpus bursae with a strongly laterally protruding posterior section bearing a large and densely spinulose appendix bursae. The detailed comparison with the similar M. tinsukia is provided below in the diagnosis of the latter species.
Distribution. The new species is known from northern and north-western Myanmar (Kachin and Chin States).
Etymology. The specific epithet originates from the Greek ‘εκπληκτικός’ meaning ‘wonderful’ and refers to the modified genitalia structures of both sexes. The name is a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.

description: Vertical flow sand filters have been developed as powerful tools for treatment of combined sewage overflow. Essentials of two technical guidelines (MUNLV (2003), DWA M 178 (2005)) are described which were recently worked out in Germany with significant contributions by the authors of this paper. The recommended layout comprises a retention basin on top of a sand filter layer (grain size 0/2 mm). The filter velocity is controlled by a throttle in the outflow. For COD, NH4-N and SS medians of removal rates typically range between 70-90 % can be expected under regular loading conditions. However, extreme conditions such as exceeding loads of SS, frequent loading and long-term inundation have adverse effects on the performance of the filter plants. Recommendations for successful long term operation were derived from various field studies.
Novel Imaging and Therapy Approaches for the Management of Prostate Cancer

description: Abstract Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer affecting men globally. Despite significant advances in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, about 30% of patients never respond to first line, FDA-approved treatments such as hormone and chemotherapy. A new treatment strategy is necessary to address the critical and unmet need. Targeting prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) in prostate cancer is a valuable approach that can be exploited for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In this project, I report the synthesis of trifunctional constructs that comprise three arms: (1) a urea-based moiety with high affinity to PSMA, (2) an albumin binding group with high affinity to human serum albumin, and (3) a chelator to bind to radiometal ions such as 177Lu or 225Ac. The three arms of these ligands were tethered by PEG linkers with different, empirically optimized lengths to construct a generally applicable and tunable drug delivery system. The central hypothesis of this work is that conjugation of the drug to albumin will increase blood circulation time and decrease off-target effects, thereby improving the therapeutic index for targeted radiotherapy. Prostate cancer has a heterogeneous prognosis; many men have an indolent clinical course, while others have aggressive disease. Therefore, discovery of new biomarkers for the identification of aggressive prostate cancer is necessary. Cancer cells require lipids to fulfill energetic, proliferative, and signaling requirements. Extensive expression of FASN in human cancers and its correlation with poor prognosis suggest that fatty acid synthesis provides an advantage for tumor growth, and therefore could be a promising imaging biomarker candidate. One promising approach is the imaging of radiolabeled molecular probes targeting FASN by positron emission tomography (PET). Our aim was to synthesize and evaluate a series of small molecules based on GSK2194069 and BI 99179, as potent FASN inhibitors for FASN PET. These FASN inhibitors were labeled with carbon-11 in good yield and excellent radiochemical purity and evaluated in vitro. Despite the promising in vitro studies, however, these molecules exhibit poor in vivo pharmacokinetics and are predominantly retained in lymph nodes and the hepatobiliary pathway. Future studies will seek to identify structural modifications that maintain tumor targeting while improving the pharmacokinetic profile of these molecules.

description: We observe rich phenomena of two-level random telegraph noise (RTN) from a commercial bulk 28-nm p-MOSFET (PMOS) near threshold at 14 K, where a Coulomb blockade (CB) hump arises from a quantum dot (QD) formed in the channel. Minimum RTN is observed at the CB hump where the high-current RTN level dramatically switches to the low-current level. The gate-voltage dependence of the RTN amplitude and power spectral density match well with the transconductance from the DC transfer curve in the CB hump region. Our work unequivocally captures these QD transport signatures in both current and noise, revealing quantum confinement effects in commercial short-channel PMOS even at 14 K, over 100 times higher than the typical dilution refrigerator temperatures of QD experiments (<100 mK). We envision that our reported RTN characteristics rooted from the QD and a defect trap would be more prominent for smaller technology nodes, where the quantum effect should be carefully examined in cryogenic CMOS circuit designs.

description: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the appropriateness of the use of artificial intelligence techniques for short term rainfall forecast in a large urban basin. The work represents the first step of a year-term enterprise that has as final purposes the spatial-temporal characterization and forecast of rainfall events in Mexico City based on rain-gauge data only and modeling the rainfall-runoff relation for the same region. In a first approach we analyzed the viability of different artificial intelligence techniques (neural networks, k-neighbor method and regression trees) for 15 minute, site specific, quantitative rainfall forecast in a real-time system. In order to improve forecast for exceptional values of rain we performed a classification of the rain events into three groups. For each cluster a series of experiments were conducted in order to find adequate parameters for the used methods. Performance was assessed with the Nash-Sutcliffe and correlation coefficient. For all groups, the k-nearest neighbor approach leads to best results. We extracted rules for data grouping and forecast values in order to make explicit relations between variables and assure real-time operability of the system. The obtained results encourage the use of the mentioned techniques as complementary tools in hydrological applications.

description: Recent attempts towards a theory of active matter utilize concepts and methods from hydrodynamics, kinetic theory, and non-equilibrium statistical physics. However, such approaches typically do not seem to recognize the critical feature of some kinds of active matter (particularly the biological ones), namely, the role of purpose, and the naturally attendant concept of the pursuit of maximum utility, which we believe is the crucial difference between active and passive matter. Here we introduce a novel game-theoretic framework, statistical teleodynamics, that accounts for this feature explicitly and show how it can be integrated with conventional statistical mechanics to develop a unified theory of arbitrage equilibrium in active and passive matter. We propose a spectrum of self-actualizing capabilities, going from none to completely strategic decision-making, and envision the various examples of active matter systems occupying someplace in this spectrum. We show how statistical teleodynamics reduces to familiar results in statistical mechanics in the limit of zero self-actualization. At the other extreme, in an economic setting, it provides novel insights about the emergence of income distributions and their fairness in an ideal free-market society. As examples of agents in between these limits, we show how our theory predicts the behavior of active Brownian particles, the emergence of ant craters, and phase equilibria in social segregation dynamics. We suggest that our theory offers a novel systems theoretic perspective of emergent phenomena that could serve as the starting point for a more comprehensive theory of design, control, and optimization through self-organization.

description: On-site infiltration of a copper roof runoff may contribute to deterioration of the ground and ground water. To avoid such a negative effect the performance of two different technical systems, equipped with four different barrier materials, regarding copper elimination was examined in a field study. During the period March 2004 to January 2005, sixteen rain events were examined. Copper concentrations between 200 and 11,000 \302\265g/l in the roof runoff during a rain event were observed. The cover material of the roof and the drainage system were responsible for the high concentrations of copper in the roof runoff. It was evident that roof aspects facing towards the wind direction were receiving higher rainfall, thus were establishing higher copper runoff rates. The retention facilities have reached a performance up to 97 % regarding copper elimination.

(Figs 24, 38)
Type material. Holotype (Figs 24, 38): male, “N- E. India | Dibru-Saikova W.life Sankt. | Assam, Tinsukia 20km N | 27°35'N, 95°22'E, H= 120 m | 1– 5.12.1997. | lg. V. Siniaev & M. Murzin ” / “Slide | ZSM Arct. | 2019-1036 ♂ | A. Volynkin ” (MWM / ZSM).
Diagnosis. The forewing length is 9.0 mm in the male holotype. Miltochrista tinsukia is externally reminiscent of M. ekliptika but distinguished by the pale ochreous forewing ground colour (it is maize yellow in the congener), and the somewhat more oblique medial transverse line of the forewing. The male genital capsules of the two species are similar but in M. tinsukia, the uncus is proximally broader than in M. ekliptika, the distal section of the costa is broader and bearing a broader and more upcurved distal process. Compared to M. ekliptika, the phallus of the new species has a narrower coecum directed ventrally (it is directed distally-ventrally in the congener), and the carina is somewhat more protruding distally. In the vesica, the cornutus of M. tinsukia is spine-like whereas it is sword blade-shaped in M. ekliptika.
The female is unknown.
Distribution. The new species is currently known only from its type locality in eastern Assam State of India.
Etymology. The specific epithet is homonymic of the type locality of the new species, Tinsukia District of Assam, India. The name is a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.

New Class of Organo-Hydrides for Selective Reduction of CO2

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (P-CO2RR) is one promising way to mitigate CO2 levels in the atmosphere and generate solar fuels such as carbon monoxide (CO), methanol (CH3OH), formic acid (HCOOH) in a way that is inexpensive and environmentally friendly. In nature, photosynthesis is the process that converts CO2 to useful high-energy compounds. It achieves this by a series of hydride transfers from the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to captured CO2 and is driven by sunlight. Mimicking natural photosynthesis, we investigate several catalytic systems composed of a new class of organo-hydride catalysts that accelerate the selective CO2 reduction to formate via a hydride transfer. This work is a significant step towards the selective electrochemical and photochemical reduction of CO2 in a biomimetic approach, using a metal-free catalyst composed of earth-abundant elements. The projects are divided into two main sections. First, this thesis will discuss the “dark” processes that study thermodynamics and kinetics of the CO2 reduction with the new class of hydrides and then the “light-induced” processes that study the photochemical regeneration of organo-hydrides.
Passive climate control in museums and archives

description: In recent years the specification for the climate in museums and archives has become so strict that air conditioning has to be installed, though the scientific evidence of the need for such constancy of climate is very thin. The standards are rather based on what the best available technology can achieve, regardless of energy use and the need for constant surveillance of the equipment.

Going to the opposite extreme, some buildings with no air conditioning perform very well, reaching the standard specification in relative humidity and getting close to it in temperature constancy.

The key to achieving this stability is to reduce the air exchange rate, to give the structure considerable thermal capacity and to use porous, water absorbent materials for walls. However, the standards are also strict about the need for adequate air exchange rate to flush away internally generated pollutants and to remove patches of stagnant humid air. Stagnant humid air can be avoided by other means, such as ensuring temperature uniformity (which is already embedded in the standard). The usefulness of flushing out pollutants seems to be a good idea, but how much do the pollutants react with the stored materials in their immediate containers before they reach the larger enclosure of the room?

The standard setters seem to be in a muddle about both the chemistry and physics of decay processes and about the possibilities inherent in simple changes to the building design, such as rounded corners and absorbent walls.

We review the performance of existing buildings and extend our analysis to the design of new buildings.

description: In this paper, the development and benchmarking of a newly developed whole building hygrothermal model are presented. The model considers the building as a system and accounts for the dynamic heat, air and moisture (HAM) interaction between building envelope components and indoor environmental conditions including HVAC systems, moisture and heat sources. The methodology adapted in this work is to develop and validate two primary models: building envelope and indoor models independently and couple them to form the whole building hygrothermal model. After successful integration of the models, the whole building hygrothermal model is benchmarked against internationally published numerical and experimental test results. The holistic model is used to assess building enclosures durability, indoor conditions (temperature and relative humidity), occupant comfort, and energy efficiency of a building in an integrated manner.
