Free Convective Heat Transfer in a Closed Gap between Concentric Semi-Hemispheres
(MDPI, 2021-11-09)
Free convective heat transfer in the closed gap between concentric semi-hemispheres is quantified by means of a numerical approach based on the volume control method using the SIMPLE algorithm. The average Nusselt number ...
Improving Energy Performance of Historic Buildings through Hygrothermal Assessment of the Envelope
(MDPI, 2021-09-15)
The intervention on historic buildings through building energy retrofitting has become one of the current challenges of improving energy efficiency. Nonetheless, this building typology presents certain complexities. Among ...
The environmental and social footprint of the university of the Basque Country UPV/EHU
(Elsevier, 2021-09-15)
This work has calculated the organisational environmental and social footprint of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in 2016. First, input and output data flows of the UPV/EHU activity were collected. Next, the ...
Use of sunspaces to obtain energy savings by preheating the intake air of the ventilation system: Analysis of its main characteristics in the different Spanish climate zones
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
Novel solutions need to be further developed to continue to improve the energy efficiency of buildings achieved over the last few decades. One of these innovative systems is the use of sunspaces to preheat the ventilation ...
