To restate traditional sustainable solution, Iranian tradiditional natural ventilation | 2007 | English
Traditional architecture while energy consumption has not been defined as today, have utilized some passive design methods by attending to the potentials of the regionand made them highlight.
Solar assisted heat pump in dual mode: direct and indirect space. Heating by the air collectors. Simulation results and evaluation with measurement results | 2007 | English
The heating system of the bioclimatic building of CRES comprises the entire heating plant including a solar assistedheat pump, the Solar Air Collectors (SAC) as well as the heat distribution system (comprising a fan coil unit network).
Monitoring and modelling the energy efficiency of municipal public buildings-case study in Catalonia | 2007 | English
Energy-efficiency benchmarking can be used to monitorchanges in overall efficiency of buildings.
Low depth geothermal energy can be efficiently used as a heat sink for building energy produced during summer.In the current work, several geometries of geothermalheat exchangers implemented in office building climatisationprojects are evaluated f
Earth heat exchange (EHX) through buried horizontal air ducts (EHXair-hor) can be an effective passive/ibryde system to reduce heating and cooling loads in temperate climate zones.
A two-storey wood frame house for the experimental study of hybrid residential ventilation was built in the campus of the Brno University of Technology in 2003.
For many reasons building simulation programs are still not recognized as useful design support tools to the same extent as Computer-Aided Design (CAD) or cost-estimating software.
This paper looked into the possibilities of adaptive reusethrough the environmental retrofit of an existing warehouse.
TRNDB: A Web Database and Web Site for Storage and Process of Building EnergyAnalysis Data | 2007 | English
In this paper, the design and development of a web databasefor the purpose of storing and processing data produced by a complete building energy analysis is presented.
DIN V 18599: The German holistic energy performance calculation method for the implementation of the EPBD | 2007 | English
When an energy balance is calculated in accordance with DIN V 18599, an integrative approach is taken, i.e.
In this study we identify and describe the design strategiesadapted to the climate and used in ancient constructions.The research is focused on the information obtained from cases found in voras architecture.
The objective of this work is to demonstrate through a case study of a Shopping Centre in Portugal how daylighting and Passive Solar Strategies can be efficient in this kind of buildings, always characterized by large transparent areas and, in con
In the last decades researches have indicated an extremelyhigh energy consumption of the building sector. Analysing the amount of consumed energy, it is showed that almost the 70% are expended for the heating and cooling loads of the building.
CO2 emission and energy saving potential through correct pipe insulation in cold applications | 2007 | English
In November 2006 a “CO2 emission and energy saving potential through correct pipe insulation of space heating and domestic hot water distribution systems in the new and existing buildings.” paper [3], sponsored by Armacell - worldwide producer of
The scope of the current paper is to present two buildingprojects that have been designed within 2006 by Gavalas Architects & Associates.
Design and control of building-integrated solar energy utilization systems - AchievingNet-Zero building energy consumption in Canada | 2007 | English
This paper describes major elements of the design of three low-energy solar homes in Canada. Two of these are part of a demonstration program. The major features of the houses are: 1.
The impact of colored glazing and spectral response of photosensors in the estimationof daylighting energy savings | 2007 | English
Daylighting control systems have quite high potential to reduce building’s energy consumption and peak demand. Despite this potential, reported poor performance, didn’t allow substantial increase in their installation rates.
This document aims to describe and present the energy efficient measures that are implemented in four dwellingsthat are currently under construction on the foothill of mountain Dionysos, northern of Athens (Greece).
Microclimate condition in an environment is influenced by the local environment condition. Urban morphology,especially building, pavement and greenery are the main factors.
