18. Utilizing solar energy for anti-icing road surfaces using hydronic heating pavement with low temperature
University dissertation from ; Chalmers tekniska högskola; GothenburgAbstract : During summer, the surface temperature of an asphalt road pavement can rise up to 70°C due to absorbed solar radiation. The high temperature degrades the performance of the asphalt concrete by accelerating the thermal oxidation and plastic deformation, especially under heavy traffic loads. READ MORE

20. Radiation properties of coil-coated steel in building envelope surfaces and the influence on building thermal performance
University dissertation from Linköping : Linköping University Electronic PressAbstract : Recent studies have shown that the optical properties of building exterior surfaces are important in terms of energy use and thermal comfort. While the majority of the studies are related to exterior surfaces, the radiation properties of interior surfaces are less thoroughly investigated. READ MORE
