“…According to the study of Leung et al, the aerogel glazing showed better performance than the windows with low-E coating regarding the thermal performance in buildings [51]. Moreover, krypton or xenon gas-filled double-glazing systems can improve lighting performance in building under hot climate conditions [37]. Some studies mentioned the importance of the selection of the color of the glazing since it affects significantly overall comfort in buildings [52].…”

In Saudi Arabia, residential buildings are one of the major contributors to total energy consumption. Even though there are abundant natural resources, it is somewhat difficult to apply them to building designs, as design variables, due to slow progress and private issues in Saudi Arabia. Thus, the present study demonstrated the development of sustainable residential building design by examining the daylighting and energy performance with design variables. Focusing on the daylighting system, the design variables were chosen, including window-to-wall ratios (WWR), external shading devices, and types of glazing. The illuminance level by these design variables in a building was evaluated by using daylight metrics, such as spatial daylight autonomy and annual sunlight exposure. Moreover, the building energy consumption with these design variables was analyzed by using energy simulation. As a result, the daylighting was improved with the increase in WWRs and the tinted double glazing, while these design options can cause overheating in a residential building. Among types of glazing, the double pane windows with a low-E coating showed better energy performance. Based on the results, it is necessary to find the proper design variables that can balance the daylighting and energy performance in residential buildings in hot climates.

“…Case Study 2 investigates the implementation of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines, a specific type ~ 11 ~ of therapeutic biomedical equipment, in the context of managing respiratory disorders within a prominent healthcare institution in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The study draws on the research conducted by Taleb and Antony (2020) [26] , which delves into the challenges and successes encountered during the integration of CPAP technology. CPAP machines play a critical role in treating conditions such as sleep apnea and respiratory distress syndromes.…”

This overview article conducts a complete comparative analysis of the efficacy of biomedical equipment inside the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) clinical enterprise. With the burgeoning importance of technological advancements in healthcare, this study delves into the important evaluation of various types of biomedical systems, starting from diagnostic equipment to healing devices, universal within the GCC area. The studies contextualize the importance of those technologies inside the healthcare sector and examine their adoption trends within the specific regulatory framework of the GCC. Exploring the regulatory landscape and requirements set by way of nearby our bodies, the review emphasizes the effect of compliance on equipment's overall performance. Meticulous research is finished using diverse overall performance assessment metrics including reliability, accuracy, durability, user-friendliness, and price-effectiveness. Methodological insights into the comparative analysis are furnished, including the system selection standards, statistics series methodologies, and analytical strategies. The article presents case research specializing in precise biomedical devices, offering nuanced know-how in their overall performance within the GCC context. Results and discussions shed light on comparative evaluations, identification of satisfactory practices, and demanding situations faced with the aid of specific devices. Collecting from the findings, recommendations are proposed to enhance regulatory oversight, training applications, and collaborative initiatives, addressing potential enhancements in biomedical device efficacy. The article concludes by outlining destiny possibilities, expected trends, and their implications for the evolving panorama of biomedical generation in the GCC medical enterprise.

“…Posteriormente, nos anos 1980 e início dos anos 1990, a predominância foi do vidro fumê ou bronze e, num período mais recente, passou a predominar os vidros reflexivos, podendo chegar a um TL em torno de 0,12, que absorve mais calor do que o vidro colorido e oferece uma boa refletância da radiação na região do infravermelho, porém com redução da transmitância visível (Li & Tsang, 2008). O tipo de vidro utilizado nas aberturas da envoltória é um fator que influencia no aporte de luz, interferindo também na qualidade da luz e no conforto visual de seus ocupantes (Arsenault et al, 2012;Taleb & Antony, 2020).…”

O desempenho lumínico nos espaços de trabalho está relacionado as transformações das aberturas das fachadas ao longo do tempo. Esta pesquisa objetivou analisar o comportamento da luz natural em modelos de edifícios de escritórios em Vitória ES. A metodologia utilizada foram simulações computacionais através do Software DIVA em uma sala de trabalho de edifícios representativos de três períodos: de 1950 a 1979, de 1980 a 1999 e de 2000 a 2016. Os resultados mostraram que o modelo típico do período de 1950 a 1979 apresentou o maior percentual de Iluminância Útil da Luz do Dia. Nenhum dos modelos atingiu o mínimo recomendado para o parâmetro de uniformidade. Em relação ao ofuscamento, os maiores percentuais de horas simuladas dentro da faixa intolerável, são registrados no 10° pavimento e nas simulações com orientação da fachada a oeste. De forma geral, a presença do entorno obstruído impactou mais o desempenho dos edifícios contemporâneos.
