Currently, a large share of the product portfolio, especially instant drinks and powder-based products is packed in multilayer laminates containing EVOH. These materials provide a strong oxygen barrier and have already been validated for long shelf life (up to 18 months). However, these structures are …

Within the Cool Neighbourhoods project, heat stress is assessed using the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET), a thermal comfort indicator that combines meteorological conditions with spatial and environmental variables. PET-based heat stress maps provide insight into spatial differences in thermal …

This study evaluated the feasibility of a buoyant V-block closure joint for application within the Fraser River Tunnel Project and compared its performance against alternative closure joint concepts. The results demonstrate that the buoyant V-block is a technically feasible closure joint solution under …

Building energy performance is largely determined during the early conceptual design stages. However, energy evaluation is often postponed until after key architectural decisions—such as massing and façade configuration—have been finalized, limiting opportunities for meaningful optimization. This study …
