From energy signature to cluster analysis: an integrated approach
(Purdue University, 2016)Energy audits of existing buildings are especially important for public buildings and, in particular, for schools, where a more efficient use of energy implies unquestionable benefits to public budgets. Schools audit can ... -
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 ... -
Influence Of Building Management On Cost Optimality Definition In Residential Buildings Retrofitting
(Purdue University, 2016)Energy efficient retrofit strategies should not only enhance the energy performance of the building in a cost effective way, but also improve, or at least, not compromise the indoor thermal comfort during the all year, ... -
Evaluation of the Indoor Thermal Quality in high schools buildings: strengths and limits of different assessment methods
(Aalborg University, Department of Civil Engineering, 2016)Recent studies have pointed out how much the indoor environmental quality in schools’ classrooms is an important factor, which could prevent serious adverse effects not only on the students’ comfort sensation, but also on ... -
On The Representation Of The Thermal And Visual Behavior Of A Roller Shade Material: Comparison Between Different Simulation Models
(Curran Associates, Inc, 2016)Shading systems, if efficiently operated, can improve the internal environmental quality, namely both thermal and visual comfort, and reduce the energy consumption due to cooling needs. Roller shades represent one of the ... -
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 ... -
Energy and Economic Performance Analysis of Heat Recovery Devices Under Different Climate Conditions
(Curran Associates, Inc, 2016)High performance buildings typically relies on extreme envelope performances in terms of insulation level, solar gains valorization and airtightness. The energy needs are limited and the system sizing is reduced to increase ...
