Adaptation to climate change on an urban scale is important, as increases in temperature will be inevitable according to future climate scenarios. In this…
The concept of a supply-air window is to allow air renewal circulating between glasses before entering inwards. Based on this principle, a part of heat…
Recent computational improvements allow for wind and thermal simulations on more complex urban configurations. Their thermo-aeraulic features can now be…
Based on observations conducted in an office building, we apply advanced statistical analysis methods, leading to the formulation of stochastic models for…
In order to inform the design of a building or a group of buildings in relation to their potential energy efficiency, the main impact will be at the initial…
The availability of input data and appropriate computing times are two major challenges when simulating entire city districts. For dynamic heat demand…
The scope of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2002/91/EC and 2010/31/EC) is the reduction of energy use in buildings in the EU. A…
This study aims to establish a correlation between thermal comfort and energy consumption for typical office buildings in India. Building envelope…
Natural ventilation generally implies a complete or partial opening of windows which modifies the solar gains and the natural lighting, changing the solar…
The need to identify variables, which influence human behaviour, has become one of the priorities in the quest to reduce energy demand. Environmental and…
Several measurements were performed on an innovative perforated solar wall. It is made of metal cladding with perforations, installed at several tens of…
