The daylight design of building spaces for non-visual effects could have major implications for healthcare and residential buildings where occupants can remain in fixed positions for extended periods. This poster describes the formulation and application o ...
The ILUTE (Integrated Land Use, Transportation, Environment) model system is an agent-based microsimulation model for the Greater Toronto-Hamilton Area (GTHA) in which disaggregate, process-based models of spatial socio-economic processes are used to evolv ...
Different climates may need different design strategies for optimal thermal performance of buildings: the relationship between different texture of the cities (their form and morphology), the energy demand of buildings and the outdoor microclimate are esse ...
European energy directives are becoming more demanding with regards to performance standards and technologies such as Photovoltaic (PV) are used to optimise these standards. Thanks to the energy focus, this technology is becoming more efficient and afforda ...
The volume and composition of Ukraine’s municipal solid waste (MSW) has changed in recent years. The percentage of paper and plastics has increased considerably; consequently, manual separation of these materials from landfills has become necessary. In 201 ...
Residential domestic hot water (DHW) energy consumption represented 16% of the EU household heating demand in 2013. Due to the improvement of the building envelop, it is expected to increase significantly, with values between 20% to 32% in single family bu ...
This work examines strategies for contemporary renovation of 19th century housing, focusing on three cities with significant ensembles dating from this time: Lisbon and Oporto, in Portugal, and Geneva, in Switzerland. Taking into account the unique urban i ...
This study reports the results of a recent field survey for residential apartment buildings in Egypt. The aim of the survey is to create representative building energy models. Two building performance simulation models are created reflecting the average en ...
This contribution proposes a comparative analysis of how legislation on built heritage protection and regulations on energy demands affect current 19th century housing buildings in the city of Geneva. Four measures of protection are analysed, looking at ho ...
