Diffuse transmission dominant smart and advanced windows for less energy-hungry building: A review

Journal of Building Engineering, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 64, P. 105604 - 105604

The window of a building is pivotal constituent as it conserves the connection between building's interior and exterior. High transmission one foremost benchmarks for system however, this high includes direct diffuse. Except viewing obstacle, diffuse has several other advantages such as, they offer uniform daylight stopping glare issues. Currently, most popular dominant windows are prepared with aerogel, phase change material, polymer dispersed liquid crystal transparent wood. In work, these four different types applications have been reviewed their potentiality future less energy-hungry buildings discussed.

Globally, greenhouse gas emissions from the operational phase of buildings are significantly contributing towards climate change. Global and national efforts, through Sustainable Development Goals UK's 2050 targets, aim to reduce these with net zero energy (NZEBs). A building's glazing plays a significant role in overall building consumption due their traditionally ‘leaky’ nature. This study utilises experimental data test cells International Glazing Database evaluate performance advanced smart/switchable windows on an existing low (LEB) situated north Wales, UK, as step making modelled NZEB. number constructions were considered this work; window – vacuum, aerogel, vacuum-aerogel smart PDLC, PDLC-aerogel PDLC-vacuum, fixed switching states. Results revealed that PDLC-vacuum offered greatest reduction energy, yielding theoretical U-value 0.810–0.831 W/m2K G-value 0.257–0.455. Despite its successes, it was notably susceptible orientation window-to-wall ratio. Vacuum aerogel both similar savings, latter prone overheating, stressing cooling loads. These differing daylighting potential vacuum able meet 78% useful daylight illuminance compared aerogel's 60%. Given prioritisation trilemma between heating, lighting needs building, presents best As such, further efforts should concentrate development window, maintaining functionality achieving for cold climates.

Effects of lighting on task performance, stress and thermal sensation in working environments

Lighting Research & Technology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 3, 2025

Studies have shown that the correlated colour temperature (CCT) of light significantly influences individuals engaged in study and work activities. However, impact CCT on stress task performance, particularly when considering subjective preferences experiences, has been explored only to a limited extent. This aims investigate relationship between CCT, thermal sensation vote, levels performance. Forty-two healthy participants (21 female 21 male, aged 20 53 years) participated experimental study. Participants completed paper-based questionnaires across three sessions, each conducted under different CCTs (2700 K, 4000 K 6500 K). During these electroencephalogram (EEG) heart rate variability were monitored objectively assess levels. The primarily focused activity EEG alpha theta waves response varying degrees. Notably, significant was observed frontal lobes at 2700 related wave. Statistical significance also identified brain regions both among who demonstrated successful Additionally, reported optimal comfort which associated with enhanced performance reduced

Associations between lifestyle habits, environmental factors and respiratory diseases: a cross-sectional study from southwest China

Frontiers in Public Health, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13

Published: March 5, 2025

Numerous studies have demonstrated that lifestyle habits and environmental factors influence the incidence progression of respiratory diseases. However, there is a paucity similar research conducted in southwest China. This study aims to investigate prevalence primary influencing diseases among residents specific region China, identify vulnerable populations. From February 2024 May 2024, multi-stage stratified random sampling method was employed Three monitoring points were randomly selected from six jurisdictions within this region, resulting collection relevant information total 4,507 through offline interviews. Lasso-logistic regression using R version 4.3.0 develop nomogram for estimating disease probabilities. Interaction analysis performed with gender age group serving as grouping variables, while other dimensional utilized variables. A respondents participated study, whom 956 (21.21%) identified sick. The older adult (>65 years) exhibited highest (30.3%). Results model indicated current smoking, alcohol abuse, passive coupled poor indoor outdoor environments significant risk factors. Additionally, history disease, family issues, negative emotions, high stress levels may also contribute disease. Protective include regular exercise, adequate lighting, frequent ventilation, disinfection practices. developed good discrimination, calibration, clinical efficacy. Multiplicative interaction varying degrees such household smoke, house disinfection, dust mites, allergies, use velvet products, conditions.
