Measuring the price premium of energy efficiency: A two-step analysis in the Italian housing market
(2020)Decarbonizing the building sector by means of the smart interconnection of increasingly efficient buildings is one of the European Union's goals in order to meet its climate and energy targets and a milestone in delivering ... -
Bottom-up building stock retrofit based on levelized cost of saved energy
(2020)Policy makers need scientific support to set ambitious yet realistic environmental targets for the transition to energy efficient buildings and to develop cost-effective policies to meet these targets, but comprehensive, ... -
Modelling and simulation-based analysis of a façade-integrated decentralized ventilation unit
(2020)This article presents a performance study of a façade-integrated decentralized mechanical ventilation unit and aims to assess the potential of this solution to reduce the HVAC energy consumption in perimetral office areas. ... -
Dynamic thermal and hygrometric simulation of historical buildings: critical factors and possible solutions
(2020)Building dynamic simulation tools, traditionally used to study the hygrothermal performance of new buildings during the preliminary design steps, have been recently adopted also in historical buildings, as a tool to ... -
Direct characterisation of the annual performance of solar thermal and heat pump systems using a six-day whole system test
(2020)Systems that provide space heating and domestic hot water are characterized by dynamic operating conditions. For a reliable evaluation of the general system performance, dynamic system test procedures are a more reliable, ... -
Analysis of photovoltaic performance loss rates of six module types in five geographical locations
(2019)In this paper, the annual performance loss rates (PLRs) of five different grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) technologies based on outdoor field measurements were computed. The data used were collected in five different ... -
A bottom-up spatially explicit methodology to estimate the space heating demand of the building stock at regional scale
(2020)The paper presents a spatially explicit and “bottom-up” methodology for the building stock analysis of the residential sector. It integrates different input data in a Geographical Information System (GIS), without using ... -
Database of energy, environmental and economic indicators of renovation packages for European residential buildings
(2019)Increasing the energy efficiency with a vast impact in the residential building stock requires retrofit solutions that can be exploited with respect to a wide range of different building typologies and climates. Several ... -
A cross-country perspective on solar energy in urban planning: Lessons learned from international case studies
(2019)This work, framed in the IEA SHC Task 51 “Solar Energy in Urban Planning”, presents an illustrative perspective of solar energy in urban planning through the analysis of 34 international case studies conducted in 10 ... -
People’s decisions matter: understanding and addressing energy poverty with behavioral economics
(2019)Insufficient access to affordable, safe and reliable energy services deprives individuals of the essential means to live a good, satisfactory and just life. This problem is becoming more and more urgent in urban areas, in ... -
Acoustic design criteria in naturally ventilated residential buildings: new research perspectives by applying the indoor soundscape approach
(2019)The indoor-outdoor connection provided by ventilation openings has been so far a limiting factor in the use of natural ventilation (NV), due to the apparent conflict between ventilation needs and the intrusion of external ... -
Assessment methods and factors determining positive Indoor Soundscapes in residential Buildings: a systematic Review
(2019)The design of an indoor acoustic environment positively perceived by building occupants requires a perceptual approach to be adopted in order to define what makes it sound good. Soundscape standards ISO 12913 have been ...
