Sustainable Facility Solutions beyond LEED
Flad Architects, one of the world’s leading renewable energy research design practices, is currently designing a preeminent renewable energy laboratory in the tropics. Operating research and development laboratories in an equatorial environment poses extraordinary energy [...]
Tailored nanoscaled TiO2 dispersions for photocatalytic applications
The use of the photocatalytic activity of nanoscaled anatase particles is intriguing. Whereas the effect has been known for a long time it is still a challenge to make the effect useful in everyday applications. [...]
Influence of pigments on the photoactivity of TiO2-containing colored mortars compared with white mortars and sol-gel TiO2 application route
In previous works, TiO2-containing commercial mortars were proved to show photoactivated properties due to the well-known semiconducting structure of titanium dioxide in anatase form. Anatase was added to white mortars in form of suspension or [...]
Waste Heat Recovery Power Generation with WOWGen®
WOW Energy has developed two unique technologies: WOWGen® and WOWClean® as part of its commitment to meeting the world’s energy and environmental challenges WOWGen® is our patented process for generating power from waste heat sources. [...]
New Insulation Technology for the 21st Century
Back in 1945, Everett Shuman promoted R-value as a standardized way to measure a material’s resistance to heat transfer. But R-values can only be achieved in laboratory conditions where there is no wind, no moisture [...]
Clean Building Technologies in Architecture
This paper presents an overview of clean building technologies, their use in architecture, and introduces an ongoing research project about the development of a green-wall system incorporating these technologies. In our research project, we introduce [...]
Water Conservation in Cooling Towers Using Controlled Hydrodynamic Cavitation
Cooling towers are a component of some buildings’ cooling systems. Where installed, cooling towers can account for up to 30% of the total water used in an average building, a statistic that can be even [...]
