This paper will provide a review of the current research on the material characterisation and mechanical behaviour of polymer enhanced silica aerogels. Aerogels have been in existence for many years; however, the engineering applications of aerogels have been limited due to their poor mechanical behaviour. Recently a new type of polymer enhanced silica aerogel, a nanostructured form of silica has been developed. The new material is having a low density, very low thermal conductivity, excellent acoustic insulation and high mechanical which makes it ideal for energy efficient building material. This paper will discuss the start-of-the-art development of this material and issues to apply the material in energy efficient buildings.

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) technology is considered to be a possible alternative for circuit implementation in terms of energy efficiency, integration density and switching frequency. Multiplexer (MUX) can be considered to be a suitable candidate for designing QCA circuits. In this paper, two different structures of energy-efficient 2×1 MUX designs are proposed. These MUXes outperform the best existing design in terms of power consumption with approximate reductions of 26% and 35%. Moreover, similar or better performance factors such as area and latency are achieved compared to the available designs. These MUX structures can be used as fundamental energy-efficient building blocks for replacing the majority-based structures in QCA. The scalability property of the proposed MUXes is excellent and can be used for energy-efficient complex QCA circuit designs.

This article describes the approach of parametric modeling using modern software. This decision should help to change the already established rules for building BIM models. This approach became the basis of the idea of using parametric modeling for two main groups in the modern modeling of construction projects: modeling of the architectural appearance of the building and structures. This method can significantly reduce labor costs, and it also can be used to implement non-standard solutions in the design energy-efficient building facades.
