Solar energy gain and space-heating energy supply analyses for solid-wall dwelling retrofitted with the experimentally achievable U-value of novel triple vacuum glazing by Saim Memon, Philip Eames

“…A dramatic decrease of space-heating load and moderate increase of solar gains are resulted with the dwelling of newly achievable triple vacuum glazings (having centre-of-pane U-value of 0.33 Wm-2 K-1) compared to conventional glazing types. …”

Membrane-assisted liquid phase extraction of Lu(III) in U-shaped contactor with a single hollow fibre membrane under recirculation mode of operation by Ksenija R. Kumric, Goran T. Vladisavljevic, Tatjana M. Trtic-Petrovic

“…In recirculating SLM system, after 80 min of operation at the donor phase flow rate of 5.3 cm3 min-1, the acceptor phase flow rate of 0.4 cm3 min-1 and the donor-to-acceptor phase volume ratio of 6.7, the equilibrium removal efficiency of Lu(III) reached 88% and less than 5% of Lu(III) extracted from the feed solution was kept in the organic phase. For shell side flow of the donor phase at the Reynolds number of 3−34, the overall mass transfer coefficient was proportional to the donor flow rate raised to the power of 0.63 and increased from 2.3 to 8.8 × 10-5 m s-1. …”

The role of fabric performance in the seasonal overheating of dwellings by Kostas Mourkos, Eirini Mantesi, Christina Hopfe, Malcolm Cook, Jacqui Glass, Chris Goodier

“…Airtightness and thermal conductance of the fabric play a key role in constructing low energy buildings. These two factors might minimise the building’s heating demand in winter but contribute to its overheating in summer. …”

Predicting the diversity of internal temperatures from English residential sector using panel methods by Scott Kelly, Michelle Shipworth, David T. Shipworth, Michael I. Gentry, A.J. Wright, Michael Pollitt, Doug Crawford-Brown, Kevin Lomas

“…In summary, the model can be either used to make statistical inferences about the importance of different factors for explaining internal temperatures or as a predictive tool. However, a key contribution of this research is the possibility to use this model to calibrate existing building stock behaviour and socio-demographic effects leading to improved estimations of domestic energy demand.…”
