In modern architecture glazed units have become a component whose diversified and complex functions shall often satisfy conflicting needs.
C. Aghemo, P. Iacomussi, S. Pezzana, G. Rossi
Acoustics research is thriving and allowed significant progress in the improvement of living conditions.However, a gap has been noted between research and practical applications in situ.
J. J. Delétré
The paper deals with a complete procedure for the calculation of material embodied energy inthe building sector using a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach; the calculation of embodied energy for building material and components during the design
L. De Santoli, E. Costanzo, F. Cumo, A. Sferra
The potential of controlling techniques for an electrochromic device is investigated in a systematic way, using both experimental and theoretical tools.
M.N.Assimakopoulos, A. Tsangrassoulis, G. Guarracino, M.Santamouris
The European RTD project REVIS, Daylighting products with redirecting visual properties (contract JOE3- CT98-0096), started in October 1998 and was completed by the end of 2000. The project was coordinated by TNO.

Active and passive solar strategies, together with measures of energy conservation and integration of new materials and technologies, can bring a meaningful energy saving in buildings.
I. Meroni, C. Pollastro, R. Lollini and A. De Salvia
The integration of renewable energy systems, mainly active solar ones, in buildings has been an aim of intense research over the last thirty years.
A.M.Papadopoulos, S.Oxizidis, A.Avgelis
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 choose which ones will be adapted to the calibration procedure.
B. Coutelier and D. Dumortier
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 thermal perspective. This paper discusses a new frameless window construction.
Leo Wijnands, Aart Schuur, and Marinus van der Voorden
In effective use of solar energy and calculation of the heat load of buildings for energy conservation, the actualstate meteorological data are indispensable.
N. Igawa, H. Nakamura, Y. Koga, T. Matsuzawa and K. Yoshimura
Evidence suggests that a significant number of large highly-glazed spaces have major design flaws that lead to energy wastage and discomfort.
M. Humbert, F. R. Carrié
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, underground railway stations, parkings, etc..
L.Marletta, F.Sicurella
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 parameters are examined in combination with the application of various statistical tests.
I. Livada, M. Santamouris, K. Niachou, N. Papanikolaou, and G. Mihalakakou
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 removing technical and non technical barriers as well as developing new PV products for th
Isabelle Michel, Denis Rambaud-Méasson
External shading systems, window systems and light control systems try to reach the indoor comfort and energy saving by approaches, that are different in complexity, costs and results; besides a good coordination among them could produce better pe
F. Gugliermetti, F. Bisegna
Radiative cooling systems by means of nocturnal longwave radiation have captured the attention of today’s specialists involved in the construction building process.
D. Aelenei, C. Da Piedade and M. Rodrigues
The purpose of this paper is to validate Kittler-Perez model of classification of sky luminance distribution about the IDMP data in Kyoto Japan.
Noriko Umemiya
During the design process of heating systems, the designer must analyse various factors in order to determine the best design options.
Matjaz Prek
The energy consumption of consumer electronics is steadily increasing. In the 1992-1996 period its energy consumption has increased by roughly 50%.
