“…The BOD removal efficiency of 95% was obtained from ICCP with 15%, higher than that of the control, indicating that thermal coating played a role in achieving maximum biodegradation through increased temperature. This was attributed to vacuum microspheres (a special additive insulate) contained in the thermal paint, responsible for reducing heat loss from the pond [18] . For the COD parameter, the percentage of removals from final effluents was moderate in the control (62%) and high in the ICCP (74%).…”

“…Experimental and theoretical research carried out in buildings demonstrate that a thermal coating reduces the internal air temperature by 2.3 • C [21]. In laboratory tests reported in [22], a saving of up to 2.9% was obtained. However, even though these results are promising, new types of insulating materials are constantly being developed [23,24].…”

Non-conventional thermal zones are low-cost and ecology friendly alternatives to the housing needs of populations in various situations, such as surviving natural disasters or addressing homelessness. However, it is necessary to guarantee thermal comfort for occupants, while aiming to minimize energy consumption and wastage in refrigeration systems. To reduce the cooling requirements in non-conventional thermal zones it is necessary to model the structure and analyze the principal factors contributing to internal temperature. In this paper, a geodesic dome is modellingusing the lumped parameter technique. This structure is composed of a wooden skeleton and wooden floor, with a canvas surface as its exterior. The mathematical model was tuned using experimental data, and its parameters were classified using Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis. The mathematical model was used to evaluate the impact on internal temperature and occupants’ comfort when two strategies are considered. The results obtained indicatee internal temperature reductions down to a range of 7% to 11%; this result is reflected directly in the energy used to refrigerate the thermal zone, contributing to the objective of providing houses with lower energy consumption.

“…The porous structure of the coal gangue ceramsites reduces the propagation speed of the heat bridge, and it can achieve the effects of heat absorption during the day and thermal insulation during the night. Therefore, compared with ordinary prefabricated cement boards or other building blocks, composite thermal insulation blocks have better heat storage capacity [16][17][18]. To test the strength and thermal properties of the composite thermal insulation blocks, standard samples with a size of 390mm×240mm×190mm had been prepared.…”

In prefabricated buildings, the building walls act as thermal insulation layers of the building envelope. The walls in the envelope consume 50% of the energy consumed by the whole building. To promote prefabricated buildings, it is very important to design energy-saving exterior walls. Focusing on prefabricated building in Inner Mongolia, this paper designs a novel composite thermal insulation block for building walls based on coal gangue ceramsites and polyethylene insulation boards, and probes deep into its mechanical properties and environmental thermal performance. The results show that, with the growing content of coal gangue ceramsites, the composite thermal insulation block saw a linear decline in volume density, compressive strength, and thermal conductivity; the theoretical heat transfer coefficient of the proposed insulation block deviated slightly from the calculated value, indicating the feasibility of the calculated heat transfer coefficient. The research results promote the application of new building walls in the design of prefabricated buildings.
