A single family detached dwelling was partly renovated for structural reasons. This was an opportunity to rethink the concept of the living space with adjacent sunspace. The new structure is flexible, to take account for the varying occupation, by a sliding separation wall. A balanced ventilation system with heat recovery must guarantee good indoor air quality at a minimal energy cost. The external construction is equipped with a sloped green roof, a high glazed facade with innovative framework and triple Argon filled glazing (U 0.8 W/mK) with warm-edge spacer.
This paper reports field investigation of the hygrothermal performance of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks (ACC) compared to other wall construction materials. The study was conducted under the tropical climatic conditions of Thailand where this debatable issue had not been yet seriously investigated. To this end, three small houses were built. The dimensions of each were 2.4 m x 2.4 m x 2.3 m.
This article presents the study done on an individual house located in Macon, France. From the model of a house called ‘reference house’, in conformity with French thermal regulation, different parameters concerning the walls, the screenings or the ventil
A pesar de ser España uno de las países de la UE con mayor recurso solar en base anual, la gran variación estacional en la disponibilidad de radiación solar y el periodo relativamente corto de la demanda de calefacción, dificultan alcanzar significantes p
La tendencia en las nuevas normativas energéticas de todos los países pasa por transformar requerimientos prescriptivos en prestacionales, es decir, en lugar de limitar el comportamiento de cada elemento o del edificio en su conjunto, con una serie de val
Il concetto di sviluppo sostenibile rappresenta oggi il punto di partenza per nuove strategie progettuali fondate su target energetici e di qualità ambientale, soprattutto nei nuovi edifici. Scopo del lavoro è quello di analizzare le prestazioni del siste
El estudio que se está llevando a cabo, surge de la inquietud provocada en varios usuarios de diferentes programas de simulación energética ante la inminente aprobación del nuevo Código Técnico de la Edificación, en el que se establece un programa como he
La exposición a contaminantes del aire interior es muy importante en términos de potenciales efectos negativos, particularmente en los niños que pasan un tercio de su tiempo en las escuelas. Se eligieron 6 escuelas infantiles situadas en el Bajo Nervión c
Ventilación es el proceso que permite sustituir el aire ambiente interior de un local, aire viciado, suministrando aire fresco, ya sea por medios naturales o mecánicos. Sin tener en cuenta si el aire suministrado se difunde por todo el recinto o si despla
