The effect of the synoptic scale atmospheric circulation on the urban heat island phenomenon over Athens, Greece, was investigated and quantified for a…
In December 2000, a new demonstration building for lighting research "Valotalo" (Light House) wasinaugurated at Helsinki University of Technology. The…
A review of the solar water heating equations in the BRE Domestic Energy Model was carried out using data from a recent monitoring project. The savings…
The energy consumption of consumer electronics is steadily increasing. In the 1992-1996 period its energy consumption has increased by roughly 50%. Along…
The main purpose of the present study is to define places in the major Athens area where the heat island effect occurs. Several important climatic…
The aim of the present study is the proposal of a novel tracking mirror system for the daylighting of deep interior spaces, such as commercial buildings,…
Active and passive solar strategies, together with measures of energy conservation and integration of new materials and technologies, can bring a meaningful…
High-density residential development is always a challenging and attractive issue, particular in thosecountries have shortage of land for development.…
The paper describes the comfort analysis based on simulation tools, microclimaticmeasurements and people response to interview.The results confirm a…
We are developing a model that is able to predict the most adapted venetian blinds position (slat angle) for a VDU office worker, considering visual comfort…
The current paper presents the first outcome of a study dealing with thermal quality of buildings in a context of rationalized energy spending. It takes…
The general objective of the Hip-Hip project, partly funded by the EC, is to foster market penetration of GC-PV systems integrated in buildings in Europe by…
Since the wall insulation of buildings and the quality of glazing improve more and more, the window frame becomes the weak point in the facade from a…
In this paper, we present the luminance calibration of the Coolpix 990, a digital camera made by Nikon. We test the different settings of the camera and…
In the scope of the Belgian “Active Façades” project, a full-scale testing of active façades has been realized in outdoor test cells. The aim is to develop…
The Satel-Light Internet server provides to designers and engineers daylight information which was previously unavailable. It is based on a database of…
Experimental and analytical assessment of three types of spacer bars used in making insulated glass (IG) units were performed and reported earlier, Elmahdy…
Radiative cooling systems by means of nocturnal longwave radiation have captured the attention of today’s specialists involved in the construction building…
In effective use of solar energy and calculation of the heat load of buildings for energy conservation, the actualstate meteorological data are…
The potential of controlling techniques for an electrochromic device is investigated in a systematic way, using both experimental and theoretical tools.…
