Abstract: The impact of future climate scenarios on building energy consumption for ventilation, heating and cooling was investigated using very high spatial resolution urban meteorological data over Madrid and London areas and considering the Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5 and 8.5 IPCC climate scenarios. To quantify the impact, we use very high resolution urban meteorological dataset produced by a dynamical downscaling process. This paper also presents the modeling system to make a dynamical downscaling process for urban climate information. The outputs of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) provides future climate scenarios, and its coupling with Weather Research and Forecasting and Chemical (WRF/Chem) model. The output from the WRF/Chem model at 1 km resolution is used to drive a micro-scale computational fluid dynamics model, MICROSYS. The final weather data was used in building energy simulations by EnergyPlus model. Sixteen types of buildings were simulated of each of the t

Abstract: Mosquito repellent-incorporated fabric softener was produced using geranium oil from Pelargonium Graveolens plant as a potential natural source of repellent agent to provide efficacy against mosquitoes. This paper provides the method of making the mosquito repellentincorporated fabric softener having the geranium oil added during the preparation. 100% cotton fabric was laundered and treated using the fabric softener. The treated samples were tested using the Bioassay Repellence Assessment, WHO Cone Test using Aedes Aegypti mosquito species to ascertain the repellence potential of the fabric softener against mosquitoes. Some physical attributes of the treated fabric, i.e. the fabric weight, fabric stiffness and crease recovery angle, were determined to ensure the main functions of the fabric softener are retained. The Bioassay WHO cone test result showed that the fabric softener incorporated with the geranium oil from the Pelargonium Graveolens plant has the potential to drive away mosq
