Comparing the environmental impact of circular and non-circular façade renovation systems through scenario analysis Universiteit Gent
The building stock in Europe is outdated, resulting in limited energy performances and significant primary energy consumption. Improving this energy performance will require a full commitment to energy (façade) renovations of existing buildings and is essential to meet the European climate goals. ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems) are widely used for energy façade renovations due to their easy application and low installation ...
Pressure-equalised façade systems : evaluation of current watertightness test standards used to assess the performance of enclosure components Universiteit Gent
Watertightness test standards are used to evaluate enclosure components in terms of water penetration resistance. Currently, there is a wide variety of watertightness tests in use for façades elements and wall systems; however, none of them specifically addresses and evaluates the drainage capacity in pressure-equalised façade systems. In addition, recent research has revealed many inconsistencies in the possibility of these test standards to ...
Fourth Generation Watertightness: A Performance-Based Strategy to Control Rainwater Infiltration in Façade Systems Universiteit Gent
Impact of photovoltaic technology and feeder voltage level on the efficiency of façade building-integrated photovoltaic systems Universiteit Hasselt KU Leuven
Facade building-integrated photovoltaics is a technology that transforms a passive facade into a distributed, renewable electrical generator by the inclusion of solar cells in the building envelope. Partial shading due to nearby objects is a typical problem for facade building-integrated photovoltaics as it strongly reduces the output power of the installation. Distributed maximum power point tracking by means of embedded converters and a common ...
Vibrometry Assessment of the External Thermal Composite Insulation Systems Influence on the Facade Airborne Sound Insulation KU Leuven
© 2018 by the authors. This paper verifies the impact of the use of an external thermal composite system (ETICS) on air-borne sound insulation. For optimum accuracy over a wide frequency range, classical microphone based transmission measurements are combined with accelerometer based vibrometry measurements. Consistency is found between structural resonance frequencies and bending wave velocity dispersion curves determined by vibrometry on the ...
Quantifying wind-driven rain intrusion : a comparative study on the water management features of different types of rear-ventilated facade systems Universiteit Gent
Development of a circularity assessment method for facade systems Universiteit Gent
Flexible optimal design of a bracing system for façade design using multiobjective genetic algorithms Vrije Universiteit Brussel
X-bracing systems are widely applied in structural design to limit deflections and guarantee stability. Efficient distribution of bracing over a structure is an important concern and often based on intuition and previous experience. This paper presents a topology optimization procedure for cable bracing of the hanging steel façade of a new museum in the United States. In this procedure the use of a multiobjective Genetic Algorithm allows for ...
