(Springer Netherlands, 2018-04)
The present work analyzes the potential of technological and economically feasible interventions performed to decrease the energy consumption in the building sector of the city of Santa Rosa, La Pampa, Argentina (latitude ...
Window energy efficiency in Argentina - Determining factors and energy savings strategies
(Elsevier, 2020-02-01)
In various regions in the world, including Argentina, low-performance windows are massively sold, which means that windows energy saving potential is high. Windows energy efficiency depends on thermal indices (U-factor, ...
Neighborhood designs for low-density social housing energy efficiency: Case study of an arid city in Argentina
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2018-06)
Neighborhood planning and design strategies that reduce outdoor air temperatures would improve the thermal and energy performance of cities in arid regions. This study presents the thermal behavior and energy consumption ...
Urban design to achieving the sustainable energy of residential neighbourhoods in arid climate
World Cities contribute to a massive amount of carbon emissions. About 80% of the global greenhouse gasses are emitted from these cities. The sustainable practices should be adopted in built environment for these cities. ...
Use of low-cost daylighting system: Custom design and application consequences in an office environment
(Oxford University Press, 2011-09)
Nowadays, many working environments are located within facilities that are not visually connected with the exterior. This is due to the new architectural paradigms as regards the design, based on the possibility to substitute ...
