Oluwatobiloba Fagbule and Rushi Patel present “Utilizing a novel mobile diagnostics lab to validate the impact of vegetative wall coverings in building cooling load reduction” at the NCUR 2021 Event
Author: codnew
Undergraduate Iowa State research students Oluwatobiloba Fagbule in Architecture and Rushi Patel in Mechanical Engineering presented their research on “Validating the impact of vegetative wall coverings on building cooling loads using heat-flux sensors and infrared images” at the National Council on Undergraduate Research, 2021.
The research looks at ways of reducing building cooling loads through vegetative shading. Data was collected through the use of 16 heat flux sensors and continuous infrared images measuring surface temperature with and without plant cover, as seen in their presentation poster below.
