Reihe: Sustainable Energy Developments

Providing a complete and in-depth overview of the available knowledge in the area of low energy and low carbon architecture. The scope of this edited book includes several important topics ranging from chapters giving a broad view of the progressing models in ecologically responsible environments to other chapters focussing on recent advances in design strategies and building technologies in low energy heating, cooling, daylighting, materials, and building sustainable systems. Two other essential topics are covered, providing a link between theory and implementation: sustainable energy policies/standards and performance modeling in low energy architecture. Finally, the book will give the readers insight into the future of low energy and low carbon architecture in the beyond-green era and discussed in the broader context of the progressing theories of regenerative design.

Über Autor(innen)

Khaled A. Al-Sallal is currently a professor of architectural engineering and the director of the Daylighting Simulation Laboratory at UAE University. His area of expertise is sustainable design with emphasis on building energy. He has a Ph.D. from Texas A&M University and a Master’s degree from Arizona State University. His teaching and research has focused on building performance and simulation, carbon-neutral design, daylighting, and climatic responsive architecture. In 2011, he established the state-of-the-art Daylighting Simulation Laboratory at UAE University that runs under his technical management. He has taken major roles in many research and consulting projects that introduced new sustainable building design ideas and technologies to the Middle East, with a total value of U.S. $952,000 granted in 16 different projects in the last decade. Among his innovations, he developed a novel methodology to measure and simulate trees interception of natural lighting in architectural spaces useful for sustainable design applications; and he created a new concept of high performance cool skylights for hot climates; which is currently being investigated. He has supervised several Ph.D. and M.Sc. students and helped them to complete their dissertations/theses and publish their work in reputable journals. He has produced numerous publications in international refereed journals and scientific conference proceedings, and wrote several chapters in edited books by reputable scientific publishers (Taylor & Francis, Elsevier, Hogrefe & Huber). He has given numerous lectures and presentations in various conferences, meetings, and scientific forums. He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the EJER and served in the editorial board of four scientific journals. He has been active in professional and scientific societies. He is a member of the IBPSA Board of Directors and founder and president of IBPSA-UAE Affiliate (IBPSA-UAE) since 2005. He is theWSSETVice President, Middle East since 2009. He is an active full member of ASHRAE, Vice President of ASHRAE Falcon Chapter: since 2011, and a Member of Board of Governors since 2009. He received several awards including: Best Research Project Award of Engineering, 2007 and Faculty Award of Excellence, 2000 in UAEU.
