Evaluation of prefabricated construction systems and materials' thermal performance with reference to housing construction in Saudi Arabia

In light of recent revisions to international standards, such as those advocated by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the prioritisation of improved air circulation to support more energy-efficient ventilation systems has become evident. These sy...
