Faced with implementing policies that seek to improve the energy efficiency of housing and reduce the impact of CO2 emissions, several countries are introducing (unilaterally or by international agreement) energy certification ...

Hem volgut fer un balanç energètic entre l'energia guanyada per l'edifici per radiació solar i activitat interior i la perduda per transmissió i ventilació. S'han sumat els resultats mensuals per a obtenir un valor total ...

Following years of research and design in architecture under bio-climatic, sustainable and passive-energy concepts, today’s buildings are often well designed and constructed, responding to determined climate conditions and ...

As a contribution to the study of the urban energy transition, this paper proposes a novel model of energy-economic evaluation of the cities self-sufficiency and presents its application in the form of a case study. The ...

En la presente comunicación se presenta el diseño del complejo educativo “La Luz de Burkina Faso” que se ha desarrollado en base a tres Proyectos Finales de Carrera de estudiantes de Ingeniería Industrial de la Escola ...

Al abordar la rehabilitación como concepto a incorporar de una manera prioritaria en el sector de la construcción y en las políticas de vivienda, no podemos olvidar que se trata de una herramienta que debe ser aprehendida ...

The importance of investigating both energy and exergy flows for assessing the environmental profile of buildings has long been acknowledged. Nevertheless, although an ample number of standalone case studies have performed ...

In situ measurements of low thermal transmittance façades are required to ensure compliance with en- ergy performance strategies for new nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) and with energy policies for the transition of ...
