The building sector has played an important role in energy consumption over the last few decades, demanding actions to decrease it. A way to reach this goal, without affecting the occupants’ welfare, is the adoption of ...

This study uses bibliometrics methods to analyze the specialized literature of energy efficiency in buildings, including the Scopus database during the period of time ranging from 1980 to 2016, to identify the most relevant ...

The building sector is responsible for 50% of worldwide energy consumption and 40% of CO2 emissions. Consequently, a lot of research on Building Energy Efficiency has been carried out over recent years, covering the most ...

The building sector is responsible for 51% of the electricity consumed in Brazil, and about 10% of the total greenhouse gas emissions. These numbers continue to grow, despite significant efforts made by the government to ...

In this work we make a comparative study of the energy behaviour in different building types. We analyze three cases of office buildings and three residential buildings, and compare them with a previous sample. We seek to ...

The energy efficiency of buildings should be a goal at the pre-design phase, though the importance of the design variables is often neglected even during the design process. Highlighting the relevance of these design ...
