A Study of Subjective Assessment: Hybrid Lighting with Automatic Control or Traditional Lighting with Manual Control? | 2006 | English
In order to compare a hybrid lighting system with automatic control to a traditional lighting system withmanual control, a subjective assessment study was carried out in two rooms at the TechnicalUniversity of Istanbul.
Dynamic Moisture Behaviour of Materials for Integration into Whole Building Heat Air and Moisture Simulation | 2006 | English
Indoor humidity is an important parameter influencing the occupants’ perception of indoor air quality, and is also a cause of harmful processes that may occur on surfaces of materials, such as cracking of walls or microbiological growth.
The present paper presents the results of the application of cluster analysis in the energy rating ofschool buildings.
To achieve the intended results of building, managing and using a property requires knowledge,continuity and communication, which can be assured by a dynamic and flexible quality assurance(QA) system.
Control of the Ep-Regulation in 3 French Regions: Approach and Preliminary Results on 29 Buildings | 2006 | English
This paper focuses on energy performance compliance checks to the French EP-regulation RT 2000 and the way they are performed in Rhône-Alpes, Burgundy, and Franche-Comté.
Handling Thermal Bridges in the Context of the EPBD: Description of the Approach Developed in Belgium | 2006 | English
Within the context of an energy performance regulation, it is essential to take the transmission lossesinto account. If building details are not well designed or carried out, thermal bridges can substantiallyincrease the transmission losses.
