Awareness, actions, drivers and barriers of sustainable construction in Chile

Alfredo Serpell, +2 more
- 17 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the results of a study about sustainable construction practices currently implemented by construction companies and discuss the level of awareness and knowledge, barriers and drivers of sustainable construction that were found in building and infrastructure construction companies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of state-of-the-art segmentation algorithms for left ventricle infarct from late Gadolinium enhancement MR images

Rashed Karim, +18 more
- 01 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: The benchmarking evaluation framework can be used to test and benchmark future algorithms that detect and quantify infarct in LGE CMR images of the LV, with the exception of the Full-Width-at-Half-Maximum (FWHM) fixed-thresholding method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential of Particle Matter Dry Deposition on Green Roofs and Living Walls Vegetation for Mitigating Urban Atmospheric Pollution in Semiarid Climates

Margareth Viecco, +6 more
- 12 Jul 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified the dry deposition of PM10 and PM2.5 by several vegetation species commonly used in green roofs and living walls in semi-arid climates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimization of a fixed exterior complex fenestration system considering visual comfort and energy performance criteria

Sergio Vera, +3 more
- 15 Feb 2017 - 
TL;DR: The main findings are that a CFS optimized solely based on total energy consumption does not meet the visual comfort metrics; however, includingVisual comfort metrics in the cost function enables such goals to be achieved by trading-off energy consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of fire reaction and fire resistance of Guadua angustifolia kunth bamboo

Josué Mena, +3 more
- 01 Feb 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an exploratory research on fire behavior of Guadua angustifolia kunth (a.k.a. bamboo) and assess fire reaction through critical heat flux for ignition and flame spread while fire resistance through charring rate and strength variation with temperature.
