Architecture, and particularly the architecture of housing, has been critically important in the history of humanity; however, its analysis has not often addressed all of its complexity. There is a need to understand the ...

This paper analyzes the impact of intensive residential densification on the urban fabric of selected neighborhoods in the Metropolitan Area of Santiago. We explore the effect of "segmentation" proposed by Diez (1996), ...

The objective of this paper is to combine sensitivity analysis and simulation-based optimisation in order to optimise the thermal and energy performance of residential buildings in the Argentine Littoral region. An actual ...

Combined heat and power on a residential scale, also known as micro-cogeneration, is currently gaining traction as an energy savings practice. The configuration of micro-cogeneration systems is highly variable, as local ...

The increase in energy consumption that occurs in the residential sector implies a higher consumption of natural resources and, therefore, an increase in pollution and a degradation of the ecosystem. An optimal use of ...

With the aim of both reducing environmental footprint and improving technological properties, several construction materials have been successfully manufactured using using waste. However, the assessment has commonly been ...

Occupancy, window and shading operation, heating and cooling systems use and setpoint are examples of actions related to occupant behaviour and are associated with thermal comfort and energy performance in homes. A better ...
