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 ... -
Analysis of the measurements reliability in dynamic test of the opaque envelope
(Purdue University, 2016)The characterization of opaque building components’ thermal behavior is essential in early design stages to compare different design and refurbishment alternatives. Evaluating the dynamic thermal response to an external ... -
Biomass-based heating and hot water supply systems for prefabricated, high energy performance houses: A comparison of system configurations and control strategies
(Aalborg University, Department of Civil Engineering, 2016)Nowadays prefabricated houses are becoming increasingly popular, thanks to their low cost and high energy performance. Heating systems installed in these houses should be carefully designed and controlled, to ensure ...
