Much of the on-going discussion on urban heat island mitigation and proposed measures for cooling is based on case-studies taken at a specific scale and settings; the evaluation of the effectivenes

A characterization and modeling process has been conducted in order to better account for ventilative cooling in the evaluation of energy performance of buildings.

This research aims to investigate, analyse and characterize the relation between the economic crisis and energy consumption in Greece.

Cooling loads in office buildings with large glazing facades are increase due to solar radiation penetrating the windows and over-heating the rooms.

The need to improve the energy performance of buildings, both new but also, and in particular, existing ones, is more imperative than ever.

Detached residential wooden houses are a common type of housing in Japan. Decay of wooden components within the walls caused by condensation or defective flushing, is sometimes an issue.

The paper deals with the investigation of air flow field in front of the reinforced slot exhaust hood with the workbench at the level of the lower edge of the exhaust opening.

The thermo-hygrometric treatment related to the air change in buildings requires a relevant quota of the total energy demand for heating and air conditioning, especially when the ventilation exigen
