In order to show the efficiency of Phase Change Materials(PCM) in building walls we have used the software CODYMUR. The aim of the simulation is to evaluate…
The energy rehabilitation of listed buildings is of great importance as they are many limitations of the possibletechnical interventions. The paper presents…
As the EPBD related regulations can not cover all possible kind of new technologies, Member States have to develop “principle of equivalence” procedures, in…
Bioclimatic approach gives attention to the design of roof since it is commonly the building element which is most exposed. Some of the most favorable roof…
Optical properties (i.e. reflectance, transmittance, etc) of light scattering materials can be described using two approaches.The first approach, models the…
Despite the available knowledge about technologies for passive cooling, cooling energy consumption is still increasing in Europe. The international project…
Five most commonly used single span shapes of greenhousesviz. even-span, uneven-span, vinery, modified arch and quonset type have been selected for…
Urban development is unavoidable as the result of country’s economic growth. Without a careful planning, a city may cause environment destruction. Singapore…
Widely known as urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon, urban air temperatures tend to be higher than rural temperatures,due to the thermal performance of…
A methodology approach in order to simulate numerically(CFD) a greenhouse equipped with fan and pad evaporative cooling system is presented. Using the main…
This paper describes an experimental study of the thermalenvironment in a highly-glazed perimeter zone of an office building under varying climatic…
This presentation projects the potential of mass interwovenwith other aspects of Bioclimatic Design, with the objective of energy conservation and…
In the previous study, it was found that urban heat island intensity in National University of Singapore (NUS) campusas high as 4oC at around 13:00. It is…
The design of sustainable cities in locations with adverseclimates should consider different ways to mitigatethe heat in open spaces, especially during the…
Social, financial, energy and technical data from about 1110 households have been collected during 2004 in the major Athens area. The sample has been…
Commercial buildings with large exposed glazed façades require solar shading devices in order to protect occupants from uncomfortable direct glare.…
The requirements for good indoor air quality and energyefficiency have often been considered to conflict with each other, however, buildings with low energy…
The article 6 clause 9 of the Italian Decree Law 192/05, that transposes the European Directive 2002/91/EC on the energy performance of buildings (EPBD),…
