Utilizing a cool roof is an efficient way to reduce the cooling energy use of a building. Cool roofs, however, may increase heating energy use in winter. In…
The nighttime ventilation strategy uses the outdoor cold air during the night to cool the building mass. The cooled building mass then is used as a heat…
This research aims to investigate, analyse and characterize the relation between the economic crisis and energy consumption in Greece. A survey held in the…
The present paper deals with the application of 4500 square meters of reflective pavements in an urban park in the greater Athens area. The aim was to…
Heat island phenomenon rises the temperature of cities, increases the energy demand for cooling and deteriorates comfort conditions in the urban environment…
Urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon has been observed in many populated cities located in cold regions (e.g., Montreal in Canada) during summer. One of the…
Rejection of solar gains is the aim of passive cooling strategies in any type of building and any climatic region. The extent of cool materials usefulness…
We have developed a new evaluation method of “thermal radiative power” (TRP) for investigating the impact of building surface material albedo on urban…
The present study deals with the feasibility of Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) in several RES-based stand-alone electricity production systems.…
Fuel cells are highly efficient energy conversion systems that have recently gained significant interest in terms of both science and applications. Exergy…
Heat island which is the most documented phenomenon of climatic change is related to the increase of urban temperatures compared to the suburban. Among the…
The need for more energy efficient Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems led to a search for new systems for heating, cooling and ventilation of…
In a Dutch project the double façade became an integral part of the ventilation concepts aa well as the heating system by trying to optimize the heat gain…
The aim of this paper is to experimentally investigate and analyze the thermal and optical behavior of a Green Roof System (GRS) installed in the 10000 m2…
Cool roof coatings remain cooler than absorptive roofs and thus predominantly are used in buildings that require the reduction of the indoor temperature and…
An urban park located in a densely built area of Western Athens, Greece is monitored. Temperature data from 15 urban and suburban stations are also…
Τhe present article deals with the development and testing of photovoltaic pavement for heat island mitigation. The scope of this study is to evaluate its…
The present article deals with the energy classification and the environmental evaluation of the school buildings in Greece. The energy performance of the…
The improvement of the urban microclimate combined with the reduction of the energy loads is a highly important target that requires the research and…
Surface temperature measurements were performed in a deep street canyon, during summer period, in the center of Athens. Surface temperature was measured on…
