Timber buildings with enhanced energy and seismic performance for the Mediterranean region
(Vienna University of Technology, 2016)Timber buildings are characterized by a thermal inertia lower than other technological solutions in construction. For this reason, some configurations may lead to higher cooling demand and poorer energy performance in hot ... -
On-site monitoring and dynamic simulation of a low energy house heated by a pellet boiler
(2016)Prefabricated low energy houses are becoming increasingly popular thanks to their low cost and high energy performance. Heating systems installed in these houses should be optimally designed and controlled, to ensure thermal ... -
Development of algorithms for building retrofit
(Elsevier, 2016)Designing buildings retrofit is not an easy task because a wide selection of energy-efficiency measures are technically available on the market, each of which can be applied to a different extent. In a range of different ... -
Solar irradiance modelling and uncertainty on building hourly profiles of heating and cooling energy needs
(Curran Associates, 2016)Building energy simulations require a detailed characterization of the boundary conditions to solve the air heat balance problem. For dry and dew bulb temperatures and wind speed, measured hourly profiles can be easily ...
