Buildings are subject to many uncertainties ranging from thermophysical performance user activity. Climate change is an additional source of uncertainty that complicates building evaluation. This study aims quantify the share stemming factors, behavior, and climate boilers, chillers, fans, pumps, total HVAC systems, site energy use. A novel method combining Monte Carlo analysis ANOVA proposed p...

Abstract Concerns have been raised that prolonged exposure to heavy metal music with aggressive themes can increase the risk of aggression, anger, antisocial behaviour, substance use, suicidal ideation, anxiety and depression in community psychiatric populations. Although research often relies on correlational evidence for which causal inferences are not possible, it is claimed cause psychologi...

This article places its attention on how the spatial boundaries, practices, and separations—as structured by whiteness—impact contestation negotiation of meaning-making processes in production consumption NASCAR space(s) for Black fans. It was through that vantage point participants demonstrated a nuanced understanding whiteness, particularly an awareness as White space, to effectively navigate...

The current way that the air conditioning of buildings is conducted is both overly expensive and harmful to the environment. Alternatives to modern air conditioning are not common, but one potential solution lies in the deserts of Zimbabwe. Macrotermes, a genus of termites found in this region, produce mounds that thermoregulate independently. The Eastgate Centre, a building in Zimbabwe, was de...

The air quality in air-conditioned mass transport buses may affect bus drivers' health. In-bus air quality improvement with the voluntary participation of bus drivers by opening the exhaust ventilation fans in the bus was implemented in the Seventh Bus Zone of Bangkok Mass Transit Authority. Four bus numbers, including bus numbers 16, 63, 67 and 166, were randomly selected to investigate microb...

Football stadia present a difficult environment for the deployment of digital services, due to their architectural design and the capacity problems from the numbers of fans. We present preliminary results from deploying an Android app building an ad hoc network amongst the attendees at matches at Brighton and Hove Albion’s AMEX stadium, so as to share the available capacity and supply digital s...
