Hygrothermal Performance of Vernacular Stone in a Desert Climate
Nahla Makhlouf, Daniel Maskell, Alastair Marsh, Sukumar Natarajan, Marwa Dabaieh, Moemen Afify
Aug 20, 2019
Remote desert communities are often the most vulnerable to temperature extremes, as lack of access to reliable electricity prevents the use of active cooling or heating. Hence, there is a need to investigate how the building...
