Adaptation to climate change on an urban scale is important, as increases in temperature will be inevitable according to future climate scenarios.
Yasin Toparlar, Bert Blocken, Wendy Janssen, Twan van Hooff, Hamid Montazeri, Harry Timmermans
The concept of a supply-air window is to allow air renewal circulating between glasses before entering inwards. Based on this principle, a part of heat transfer through the glasses is recovered by air renewal.
François Gloriant, Pierre Tittelein, Annabelle Joulin, Stéphane Lassue
Recent computational improvements allow for wind and thermal simulations on more complex urban configurations. Their thermo-aeraulic features can now be investigated by more sophisticated CFD models, coupled with energy ones.
Lucie Merlier, Frédéric Kuznik, Gilles Rusaouën, Jean-Jacques Roux, Serge Salat
Based on observations conducted in an office building, we apply advanced statistical analysis methods, leading to the formulation of stochastic models for the prediction of buildings occupants’ actions on window openings and shading devices.
Frédéric Haldi
In order to inform the design of a building or a group of buildings in relation to their potential energy efficiency, the main impact will be at the initial concept design stage.
Phil Jones, Simon Lannon, Xiaojun Li, Thomas Bassett, Diana Waldron
The availability of input data and appropriate computing times are two major challenges when simulating entire city districts. For dynamic heat demand simulations, we contribute to these tasks by developing an integral tool chain.
Moritz Lauster, Marcus Fuchs, Jens Teichmann, Rita Streblow, Dirk Müller
The scope of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2002/91/EC and 2010/31/EC) is the reduction of energy use in buildings in the EU.
Alan Abela, Mike Hoxley, Paddy McGrath, Steve Goodhew
This study aims to establish a correlation between thermal comfort and energy consumption for typical office buildings in India. Building envelope characteristics are varied to represent local energy code compliant case.
Sanyogita Manu, Yash Shukla, and Rajan Rawal
Natural ventilation generally implies a complete or partial opening of windows which modifies the solar gains and the natural lighting, changing the solar and daylight factors.
Shuqing Cui, Pascal Stabat, Dominique Marchio
The need to identify variables, which influence human behaviour, has become one of the priorities in the quest to reduce energy demand.
Stephanie Gauthier
Several measurements were performed on an innovative perforated solar wall.
Croitoru Cristiana Verona, Bode Florin Ioan, Meslem Amina, Nastase Ilinca
