Study on the cooling ceiling’s effect on thermal comfort and energy consumption in an office space for different climates in Europe | 2007 | English
This paper objective is to analyze by simulations, the thermal comfort and energy consumption when using a radiant cooling ceiling.
A comparison between energy performance of one DSF buildings studied sample and office buildings benchmarks in Europe | 2007 | English
This paper describes ongoing energy benchmarks studies of double-skin façade buildings. A comparison between energy performance of these actual buildings and European office buildings benchmarks is discussed.
Operation and measurement results of the solar cooling installation in Rethymnon village hotel | 2007 | English
The solar cooling plant in the Rethymno village Hotel supplies cooling energy to the dinning room as well as it supplies hot water to its central Domestic Hot Water (DHW) network.
One of the current challenges in the urban climate researcharea mentions the standardization of procedures for data collection and analysis (OKE, 2005); this involvesnomenclatures and methods, so that the transmissionof the developed technology ca
Ecobuildings: Towards an energy-efficient European building stock beyond nationalrequirements | 2007 | English
The building sector is at present responsible for more than 40 % of the EU energy consumption.
The buildings sector accounts for 40% of the energy requirements in Europe, which is more than by industryor transport. That is a lot and it is too much! Buildingstherefore have a major part to play in meeting the emissions reductions targets!
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
Installation of an evaporatively cooled hydroponic greenhouse on the roof of building can yield net energy savings for the combined structure, when compared to conventional air conditioning, and can conserve space by adding productive capacity to
Since recent years cooling demand in office buildings has tremendously increased due to higher internal heat production of equipment, lighting and higher thermal comfort requirements.
Heating and cooling buildings needs too much energy consumption; thing that is becoming rare and more expensive.Internal thermal comfort is essentially evaluatedaccording to bioclimatic conditions and energy consumption.So the aim of the study is
Since 1999, several widely used building energy efficiencystandards, including ASHRAE 90.1, ASHRAE 90.2, the International Energy Conservation Code, and Californias Title 24 have adopted cool roof credits or requirements.
The potential application of residential solar thermal cooling in the UK and the role of thermal energy storage technologies. | 2007 | English
As the UK Building Regulations demand better insulatedand more airtight new buildings, a potential cooling requirement is emerging in new build dwellings in the UK, leading to an increase in the market for domestic air conditioning systems in this
Throughout architectural history, local buildings have used great in providing the most comfortable internal conditions possible within the exigencies and constraintsof local climate.In Iraqis climates, accelerating airflow through induces evapora
The evaluation of thermal comfort conditions in simplified urban spaces: the COMFA+ model | 2007 | English
One of the main elements to consider in urban space design is the modification of the microclimate in order to improve the thermal comfort conditions of people livingin urban spaces.Sometimes it is very important to design very specific conditions
Human has developed a board rang of passive cooling techniques in various parts of the world up to a very impressive level of maturity: cliff dwellings through the world (ground cooling), wind towers (convective and mass cooling), sprinkling water
The case study in question is that of the refurbishment of a building constituted by four school pavilions built in the post-war period of the 20th Century with very lightweight reinforced concrete arches and vaults.
The buildings’ environment plays a very important role in health matters and the quality of life. A series of experimental measurements were carried out in the residential sector of the greater region of Athens.
Interpreting Building Simulation modelling data for Building Designers, with specificreference to the cooling demand | 2007 | English
The paper describes a method to show how Building Simulation data can be interpreted to provide informationthat is of use to non-Building Simulation experts involved in the design of low energy Buildings.The method uses a heat balance simulation t
The impact of different window configurations, natural ventilation and solar shadingstrategies on the indoor comfort level in simple rooms, in Mediterranean area. | 2007 | English
which is a typical residential building in the South MediterraneanSea. The house type is also representative for second home.
