The study was mainly focused on the contribution of a phase change material (PCM), inserted into a 7-cm thick air layer of a double brick wall, in two different locations. We note that the experimental study was conducted using two real-scale test cavities, located in the Faculty of Science Ain Chock-Casablanca. Two PCM mounting methods were used for the south and west walls, in order to test its energy efficiency as a storage and retrieval means of the solar flux coming from the outside. In the case of the southern wall, the PCM is put directly on the internal side of the outside part of the double wall (Case 1). For the west wall, the PCM is placed 1.2 cm away from the internal side of the outer part of the double wall (Case 2). The first result shows that the PCM placed to the wall allows storing the solar heat during the day and releasing it to the outside of the building at night. While in the second case, the PCM keeps the heat stored day and night.展开更多

We present an accelerating method for urban visualization. Our approach can optimize the organization of models in accordance with the quadtree based terrain, which makes the parallelization easier. Through minimizing the draw call within one rendering process, our approach can reduce the time cost of each frame and improve the framerate greatly. Hereby, our system can handle large-scale detailed models with high diversity and also can afford the ability to adjust the rendering strategy automatically according to the state of the hardware.展开更多
