Degradation of brick masonry walls in Europe and the Mediterranean : advantages of a response-based analysis to study cl...
Climate change (CC) has an impact on degradation mechanisms in building envelopes. A climate-based analysis (only using climate variables) or a response-based analysis (based on hygrothermal simulation results) can be performed to assess the CC impact over a large region. Only the latter accounts for building parameters (e.g. material properties, w...

Indoor and outdoor air quality assessment in daycare centres in Ghent (Belgium) in view of outdoor sleeping in an urban ...
Within Flanders, there is an increasing trend to let children sleep outdoors while in daycare. However, within an urban environment, the densely spread emission sources might affect the air quality and possibly limit the areas where outdoor sleeping is favourable. Nevertheless, there is a lack of data regarding the atmospheric pollution levels in a...

The potential challenge for the effective GHG emissions mitigation of urban energy consumption: A case study of Macau
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from energy consumption have become a major focus all over the world. Cities, especially, are playing an important role in responding to the challenges of global climate change. However, there is still a lack of case studies on the whole life stage (including energy import, production, and consumption) at the city lev...

Performance of a green wall (Total Value Wall™) at high greywater loading rates and life cycle impact assessment
Nature-based greywater (GW) treatment and reuse in urban areas has become an up-and-coming option. A 14.4 m(2) green wall system called Total Value Wall (TVW) was installed at a terraced house in Gent (Belgium) for treating GW and reusing the effluent for toilet flushing. In a previous study, the TVW was loaded at 7 L.m(-2).d(-1) and efficiently re...
