This document summarizes research conducted on the impacts of urban form on comfort levels in outdoor spaces and the built environment. It describes studies conducted in Curitiba, Brazil, Sede Boqer, Israel, and Glasgow, UK that examined factors like urban morphology, vegetation, and shadowing effects on microclimate, wind patterns, daylighting, and thermal perception. The research methods included field measurements, surveys, physical modeling, and simulations to analyze the relationships between urban form parameters and observed microclimate effects. Key findings showed relationships between sky view factor, air temperature differences, and pedestrians' thermal comfort ratings.

The document calls for further development and collaboration between government, universities and community groups on low-cost air quality sensing.
Climatology Applied To Architecture: An Experimental Investigation about Inte...IJERA Editor
This document summarizes an experimental investigation that analyzed the internal temperature distribution in two test cells with different roof types on a typical summer day in Brazil. Thermocouples measured the internal surface temperature (IST) and internal air or dry bulb temperature (DBT) at various heights in each test cell - one with a green roof and one with a conventional ceramic roof. The results showed that the IST distribution was almost uniform in both cells, but the conventional cell exhibited a small vertical DBT gradient. The study aimed to establish appropriate guidelines for collecting internal temperature data experimentally and contribute to future comfort and building performance research.

The document discusses the importance of basic research for developing future energy technologies. It outlines five major scientific challenges identified by the US Department of Energy: increasing energy efficiency; increasing renewable energy use; adapting carbon capture and sequestration; increasing nuclear power; and improving climate prediction. The document argues that basic scientific research is needed to design new materials with customized nanoscale structures that can efficiently convert and store energy. While basic research may not have immediate practical applications, it leads to general scientific understanding and knowledge that can help answer practical problems in applied research and technology development over time.
The document summarizes an international conference on research in science and technology held from November 10-11, 2016 at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. It provides details on the conference venue, plenary and keynote speakers, and includes the abstract of a paper presented on environmental degradation in Nigeria. The conference proceedings contained papers on various science and technology topics presented over the two-day period at the university.
This document discusses principles of adaptive thermal comfort. It notes that current thermal comfort standards are based on the PMV model, which has limitations as it requires measuring variables like metabolic rate and clothing insulation that cannot be accurately measured. The document discusses how people adapt to their thermal environments through physiological, behavioral, and psychological adaptations. Physiological adaptations include vasoconstriction/vasodilation and sweating. Behavioral adaptations include changing clothing, activity levels, and use of fans/windows. Psychological adaptations involve altered perceptions and expectations. Adaptive opportunities can be constrained by factors like climate, culture, work requirements, and personality.

Design, Fabrication and Analysis of Thermo-Acoustic Refrigeration System – A ...IRJET Journal
This document provides a review of thermo-acoustic refrigeration systems. It discusses the basic principles of how these systems work using sound waves to transfer heat without harmful refrigerants. The document summarizes several research papers that studied ways to optimize the design and efficiency of thermo-acoustic refrigerators, such as by varying the stack design and material or operating parameters like frequency and pressure. While thermo-acoustic refrigerators currently have a lower coefficient of performance than conventional systems, the document concludes that ongoing research aims to improve performance and make these environmentally-friendly refrigeration systems more competitive.

This document summarizes several studies on climate responsive architecture and passive design techniques in Brazil. It discusses the original Brazilian bioclimatic zoning and methods used, including Mahoney Tables and Givoni's Building Bioclimatic Chart. Case studies from Curitiba examine using recycled materials like concrete rubble, Tetrapak sheets, and PET bottles to improve thermal performance of low-cost housing. A trombe wall study by Eimi Suzuki is also mentioned. Overall the document reviews passive design strategies for different bioclimatic zones in Brazil based on examples from Curitiba.
O documento discute princípios e sistemas de arquitetura bioclimática ou passiva. Apresenta conceitos como avaliação bioclimática, ganhos solares diretos e indiretos, sistemas passivos de aquecimento e resfriamento, além de exemplos como a Casa Adobe em Israel e a Vila Solar "Neve-Zin" também em Israel.
O documento descreve o método de avaliação da eficiência energética de edifícios comerciais, de serviços e públicos pelo Regulamento Técnico da Qualidade para o Nível de Eficiência Energética de Edifícios Comerciais, de Serviços e Públicos (RTQ-C), analisando a eficiência da envoltória, iluminação e ar condicionado do edifício por meio de equações e índices.
[1] O documento discute a adaptação do homem ao clima através da biologia, vestimenta e habitação, assim como o desenvolvimento de estudos em conforto térmico ao longo dos séculos XIX e XX.

O documento apresenta conceitos de ângulos de sombreamento alfa, beta e gama e sua aplicação para determinar horas de insolação em diferentes orientações e configurações arquitetônicas. É mostrado um exemplo para Fortaleza com beirais e brises que bloqueiam a entrada do sol em determinados períodos, ilustrando o uso de elementos de sombreamento para controle solar passivo.
The document discusses two methods used in the first version of the Brazilian Bioclimatic Zoning: the Mahoney Tables and the Givoni Bioclimatic Diagram.
The Mahoney Tables method from the 1970s uses readily available climate data that is entered into tables to provide general design recommendations without detailed analysis. The Givoni Bioclimatic Diagram plots climate variables on a psychrometric chart to identify 12 comfort zones for passive design strategies. Both methods provide guidance for passive design based on simple analysis of local climate data.
