Energy savings potential of the high-rise office building stock. A case study of Belo Horizonte, Brazil: a case study of Belo Horizonte; Brazil
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2017-02-24)
This study develops a framework to identify and analyse the energy savings potential of an existing building stock category. The methodology consists of six basic steps: (1) a method for obtaining reference buildings, (2) ...
A comparative study of the seismic base shear force and story drift ratios using Time History and Modal Spectrum Analysis according to Peru Code E.030 and ASCE 7.16 on high-rise buildings
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020-09-30)
Since the last decade there is an important increase of high-rise buildings in Peru, especially in urban areas. Therefore, it is necessary to assess if the Peruvian Seismic Code is applicable for this type of buildings ...
Historical consumption of heating natural gas and thermal monitoring of a multifamily high-rise building in a temperate/cold climate in Argentina
(MDPI, 2012-12)
This paper analyzes the historical consumption of natural gas in a multifamily high-rise building and the monitored winter thermal behavior of an apartment sample. The building is located in the center of Argentina (latitude: ...
On high-rise residential buildings in an oasis-city: Thermal and energy assessment of different envelope materiality above and below tree canopy
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2016-02)
Urban foresting can affect high-rise buildings in two ways from an environmentalist point of view because building envelopes are exposed to different conditions above and below the tree canopy. Two buildings were selected ...

(SPRINGER, 2011)
This paper analyzes the production of apartment buildings for the middle-income segment in the city of So Paulo, Brazil, from a historical perspective. Tracing the response to the occupants` needs, the focus is on family ...
Establishing empirical period formula for RC buildings in Lima, Peru: evidence for the impact of both the 1974 Lima earthquake and the application of the Peruvian seismic code on high-rise buildings
(Seismological Society of America, 2014-12)
The easiest building parameter to determine is the elastic fundamental resonance period, or its inverse, the fundamental frequency, preferentially used in seismological studies. This period/frequency is directly related ...
