Research Brief: Quantifying the impact of pavement reflectivity on radiative forcing and building energy demand in neighborhoods
(2017-03-13)Albedo is the measure of the fraction of solar energy reflected by the Earth’s surface. High-albedo surfaces, which are lighter in color, absorb less sunlight energy and reflect more shortwave radiation. The change in ... -
Research Brief: A break-even hazard mitigation metric
(2017-01-12)CSHub researchers developed the Break Even Mitigation Percent (BEMP) to answer the question: “How much should be invested in mitigation for a particular building?” -
Research Brief: Minimizing Thermal Cracks in Concrete Pavements
(2017-01-12)This brief examines the risk of fracture of concrete pavements due to thermal cycles. CSHub researchers model the risk of fracture due to temperature changes and propose a method for estimating the risk of thermal cracking ...
