Challenges of retrofitting affordable housing to net-zero carbon in the United Arab Emirates
(IOP Science, 2019)
Following the Paris Agreement, several governmental bodies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) started working on further initiatives to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Some of these hope to target net-zero carbon ...
Comparison of Energy Efficiency Strategies for Mosques in the United Arab Emirates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)
As public buildings that are typically financed by charities, mosques are commonly designed, built, and operated using very limited resources. Hence, failure to design energy efficient mosques either affects occupants' ...

Defining an Architectural Design Strategy for Energy Performance-A Systematic Approach for Students
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)
Managing the energy performance of a building should start from the pre-conceptual design phase. Architects at this phase need to analyze the nature of the site environment, the nature of the building, and the comfort ...
Designing a Flexible and Reconfigurable Manufacturing System Considering a Circular Shaped Layout
(2018-05)
Production demands are constantly changing at a fast pace. The demand for a shorter life cycle and customized products makes it more difficult for factories to adapt. To stay competitive, factories need to be flexible in ...
Performance of CI Engine Operating with Hydrogen Supplement Cocombustion with Jojoba Methyl Ester
(Elsevier, 2016-06-29)
The present work experimentally investigates the performance of compression ignition (CI) engine which operates on hydrogen and Jojoba methyl ester (JME). The hydrogen is introduced by enriching air-intake manifold with ...
BIM for Energy Modelling of Green Buildings
(2018-11)
Energy conservation has become a priority for many governments and sustainable building standards such as LEEDS and Estidama. This is largely due to the high energy demand of buildings and the rising concerns over the ...
Residential Area Energy Consumption Big Data Analytics and Visualization
(2018-06)
As Internet of Things (IoT) technology and open source file distributed system applications are evolving, home appliances can be monitored and controlled via an IoT-based home gateway. These gateways collect energy consumption ...
Analysis of an Airfoil with Rotating Cylinder for Improved Performance
(2019-04)
Among the multiple techniques used for boundary-layer control and flow separation delay, moving surface boundary-layer control is one of the promising approaches. Adding a rotating cylinder is one means of enhancing the ...
Hydrogen Supplement Co-combustion with Diesel in 2 Compression Ignition Engine
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
The present work investigates experimentally the behavior of compression ignition engine while boosting the combustion by enriching air-intake manifold with hydrogen supplement at the atmospheric condition. The study reports ...
