Indoor comfort evaluation of a health care facility: A case study
(Aalborg University, Department of Civil Engineering, 2016)Thermal and visual comfort significantly influence the perception of an indoor environment and the subjective well-being of people. In this context, the present research focuses on the evaluation of the indoor comfort in ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
An occupancy counting mechatronic device based on bio-inspired algorithm for comfort and control optimization in buildings
(International Society of Bionic Engineering (ISBE), 2016) -
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 ... -
Evaluation of on-site PV-based electrical energy production: A case study
(Aalborg University, Department of Civil Engineering, 2016)For sustainable electric energy supply, the on-site production with photovoltaic systems can be a possibility. For this purpose, it is important to evaluate the potential based on the location, the technical solutions, and ... -
Winter heat recovery in ventilation systems: Potential and limitations of sensible and total recovery in the European climates
(SMEITS, 2016)Ensuring an appropriate ventilation rate and a suitable indoor air quality is a major energy consumption driver particularly in high performance buildings. Heat recovery devices coupled with mechanical ventilation systems ...
