Influence of heating degree day calculation methods in designing the thermal envelope of buildings
(2022)
Heating degree day is an essential parameter for estimation of energy demand and consumption in buildings. In the case of hourly temperature data availability, it is more appropriate to use the hourly method to calculate ...
The role of specific heat capacity on building energy performance and thermal discomfort
The key role of the building and construction sector, in terms of sustainability and decarbonization, has led building codes to tighten mandatory requirements related to buildings energy performance. Envelope quality, ...
Impact of Shape Factor on Energy Demand, CO2 Emissions and Energy Cost of Residential Buildings in Cold Oceanic Climates: Case Study of South Chile
(MDPI, 2021)
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 ...
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 ...
