• Abstract:
  Two themes are explored in the current study. Theme I, which has three parts, is a study of various issues of noise ingression through windows in residential buildings. Theme II consists of two parts. It focuses on the energy efficiency and the associated effect on indoor air quality (IAQ) as a result of using sound-insulating windows. Theme II deals with the potential use of dual-airflow windows for sound insulation, leading to energy conservation and improved IAQ. Ventilated windows hold great promise for conserving energy in buildings owing to their suitability for energy exchange.
