Courtyards as passive design solution for school buildings in hot areas: UAE as a case study
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2018-06)The global concentration on green efficient schools is growing as schools represent a considerable sector in the built environment, which consumes a lot of energy to provide a standard level of thermal comfort for students. ... -
Fuzzy Techniques in Visual Performance and Illumination Applications
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2020-08)The lighting design calculation has many variables that do not realistically have crisp values and therefore can be considered fuzzy. By fuzzy we mean that a particular variable does not have an exact value. The vagueness ... -
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Multivariable Control System with Least Energy Dissipation
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2019-03)The highest energy consumption in building sector is caused by building's services such as lighting units and thermal comfort systems. Heated Ventilated Air Conditioning (HVAC) system consumes approximately 50% of the total ... -
Performance Optimization of Photovoltaic Thermal System under UAE Climate Condition: Experimental and Simulation Analysis
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2021-03)One of the worldwide challenges is reducing energy consumption to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are associated with energy production and use. Delay in taking proper action will lead to the catastrophic effect ... -
Prevalence and risk factors of poor indoor air quality and sick house syndrome symptoms in Dubai
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2019-04)"Housing environment is a key determinant of health and wellbeing for individuals, communities, and public health at large. Recently, an increasing range of diseases related to poor Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) ... -
Urban Geometry: The Effect of Height Diversity and Buildings Configuration on Thermal Performance and Cooling Load at Urban Scale. A Case Study in Dubai / UAE
(The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2018-05)Urban geometry and buildings morphology are important factors that affect both thermal behaviour of the spatial environment as well as a building’s energy performance. This research aims to explore the effect of the urban ...
