This paper presents the basic parameters and energy flows of an aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) systemcombined with reversible water/water heat pumps used for heating and cooling the new hospital Klina (Antwerp Belgium).
Every time with major frequency grows the necessity of energy efficient buildings, adapted to their environment, which consume and contaminate as least as possible.In this study it has been analyzed and evaluated the thermal conditioning of two bl
The Project of Ponte da Pedra came out of an Ideas Competition, which is, by the beginning, a good indicatorof the high quality of the housing architecture of Ponte da Pedra.
Building envelope and heat capacity: re-discovering the thermal mass for winter energy saving | 2007 | English
In order to simplify the procedure for evaluating winter building energy performances, most of existing standard and rules make reference to the building energy balance under steady state conditions.
Use of genetic algorithms for the optimum selection of the fenestration openings in buildings | 2007 | English
The objective of this work is to find the optimum window-to-wall area ratio that minimizes the energy cost for cooling, heating and daylighting.
The impact of moisture on the thermal conductivity value of stone wool based insulating materials | 2007 | English
One of the significant threats for buildings is the possibility of changes in the building materials’ properties because of the penetration and residence of moisture it them.

Thermal comfort under transient seasonal conditions of a bioclimatic building in Greece | 2007 | English
This paper presents the thermal comfort levels in a bioclimaticbuilding situated in the greater Athens area in Greece.
Macroclimatic forces have been important factors ever since man first constructed shelter.
The principal intention of the present study is the analysisof the both physical and social conditions of a rural community near to the City of Guadalajara in Mexico, with the purpose of establishing the environmental necessaryparameters to realiz
Solar gains are one of the most important factors of design for energy efficient buildings.
In many urban areas, pavements and roofs constitute over 60% of urban surfaces (roof 20-25%, pavements about 40%).
In modern, extensively glazed office buildings, due to high solar and internal loads and increased comfort expectations,air conditioning systems are often used even in moderate and cold climates.
