Moisture and Bio-deterioration Risk of Building Materials and Structures

Hannu Viitanen, Juha Vinha, Kati Salminen et al. · 21 Aug 2009

There are several biological processes causing aging and damage to buildings. This is partly due to natural aging of materials and excessive moisture. The demands on durability, energy balance, and health of houses are continually rising. For mold development, the minimum (critical) ambient humidity requirement is shown to be between RH 80% and 95% depending…

Air infiltration through building envelopes: A review

Chadi Younes, Caesar Abi Shdid, Girma Bitsuamlak · 24 Oct 2011

Air leakage through the building envelope into the building interiors has a considerable impact on the energy loads and consequently energy demand and energy costs of buildings. This phenomenon known as infiltration happens through various openings and venues in the building envelope varying from large openings such as doors and windows to minute cracks and…

The path to the high performance thermal building insulation materials and solutions of tomorrow

Bjørn Petter Jelle, Arild Gustavsen, Ruben Baetens · 20 Jul 2010

In today’s society there is an increased focus on various energy aspects. Buildings constitute a large part of the total energy consumption in the world. In this respect it is important to have the optimum heat balance in buildings. That is, in a cold climate one wants to have as well thermally insulated building envelopes…

Thermal properties of high-volume fly ash mortars and concretes

Dale P. Bentz, MA Peltz, A. Durán-Herrera et al. · 5 Jul 2010

As sustainability moves to the forefront of construction, the utilization of high-volume fly ash concrete mixtures to reduce CO 2 emissions and cement consumption per unit volume of concrete placed is receiving renewed interest. Concrete mixtures in which the fly ash replaces 50% or more of the Portland cement are both economically and technically viable.…

Exploring the building energy impacts of green roof design decisions – a modeling study of buildings in four distinct climates

David J. Sailor, Timothy B. Elley, Max Gibson · 13 Sep 2011

This study explores the complex and interacting physical mechanisms that lead to building energy use implications of green roof design decisions. The EnergyPlus building energy simulation program, complete with an integrated green roof simulation module, was used to analyze the effects of roof surface design on building energy consumption. Simulations were conducted for both black…

Journal of Building Physics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Building Physics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Building Physics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official SAGE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Building Physics use?
Journal of Building Physics uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Journal of Building Physics, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Building Physics?
No. DocuGuru generates the sagej LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a SAGE-ready Journal of Building Physics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Building Physics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Building Physics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Journal of Building Physics?
Journal of Building Physics is a multidisciplinary journal published by SAGE. DocuGuru's Journal of Building Physics template matches SAGE's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Building Physics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Building Physics template (the sagej class) that is ready to submit to SAGE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Building Physics template cost?
