The ability to take into account reflections from obstructions is of fundamental importance in building energy simulation (BES), because reflections can have a substantial influence on solar gains. In BES tools, this ...
The astronomical theory of climate change is based on the solution of differential equations describing Earth’s orbital and rotational motions. The equations are used to calculate the change in insolation over the Ea...

East Asian summer monsoon(EASM)precipitation affects the lives of billions of people and impacts the stability of fragile desert ecosystems in central Asia[1].Therefore,many studies have focused on understanding the v...
Recently, there is a movement that aims to realize a distributed energy system in Japan. The PV (photovoltaic) generation is especially expected, and it is anticipated that interconnection number of PVs will increas...
Solar energy is a very abundant renewable energy source during the day. The solar energy received in a given point of the Earth is function of the time, the season and the latitude of the point. It has been proven tha...
Building envelope is a fence that controls heat exchange between interior and exterior and plays an essential role in providing thermal comfort conditions of residents. In recent years, due to the necessity of conserv...
From 1950 to 1987 a strong relationship existed between the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and HadCRUT4 global average temperature anomaly, interrupted occasionally by volcanic erup-tions. After 1987 the relation...
