Combined effects of one-sided surface charring and phytic acid impregnation on the surface properties and fire performance of wood

Abstract Surface charring is a wood modification technique that enhances the aesthetic appearance of wood while increasing durability and service life in outdoor environments. Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.) was subjected to one-sided surface charring at temperatures of 210, 24...

The effect of surrounding topography on calculated solar gains in BEM using DEM-based terrain reproduction

This paper presents a methodology for integrating the orographic context of micro-locations into building energy modelling (BEM) for topographically diverse regions. Dynamic energy simulations rely on high-resolution weather data from weather stations that represent specific area...
