Impact of climate change on degradation risks in solid masonry walls : uncertainty assessment using a multi-model ensemb...
In climate science, the impact of climate change is assessed through multiple climate models. Usually, hygrothermal analyses use one climate model, making the results only valid for this-highly uncertain-climate evolution, which cannot be generalised. The robustness of the climate change impact on building envelopes is unknown. Therefore, we implem...

Methodology for the Estimation of Lightning Effects on a Nuclear Reactor
Effects of lightning in a nuclear facility must be carefully taken into account. Numerical simulations can be used to evaluate the magnetic fields inside the facility as well as the open circuit voltages and short circuit currents. Here, we present a methodology that combines both such simulations and experimental measurements. Thanks to the result...

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...
