The zero building: an exemplary nearly zero energy office building (NZEB) and its potential to become a positive energy building (PEB)
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-09-21)
European energy policies introduced nearly zero energy building (NZEB) design to stimulate the
energy transition in buildings, and EU programs promote the evolution towards positive energy
buildings (PEB). Most studies ...
Proposal for Prioritizing the Retrofitting of Residential Buildings in Energy Poverty Circumstances
(Sciendo. Riga Technical University, 2020-11-03)
The energy poverty derived from socio-economic imbalances affects mostly
households with fewer economic resources, being social housing complexes one of the most
vulnerable sectors. The insufficient access to energy and ...
Decision-making framework for positive energy building design through key performance indicators relating geometry, localization, energy and PV system integration
(Elsevier, 2023-08-10)
The effectiveness of positive energy building (PEB) design largely depends on a balanced approach between building design and energy performance. The current common architectural process is lacking guidelines to address ...
Characterization of the Thermal Behavior of Semi-Exterior Laundry Spaces in an Overheating Passivhaus Residential Building in Bilbao, Spain
(MDPI, 2024-01-05)
Overheating in buildings is a growing challenge in temperate climates, even in those where the traditional design focus was on protecting from cold and winter energy savings. This paper addresses a collateral problem that ...
From rooftops to roads: Bilbao’s geospatial solar and EV fusion
(Elsevier, 2024-02-21)
The electrification of mobility is a promising solution to effectively reduce CO2 emissions in urban areas. The integration of electric vehicles (EVs) and solar energy is a practical approach for mitigating the strain on ...
El proceso experimental de composición del color en el Real Club Náutico de San Sebastián, edificio polícromo
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021-07-16)
El Real Club Náutico de San Sebastián se ha convertido en un icono del racionalismo español y, en particular, de la arquitectura náutica asociada habitualmente al color blanco. Sin embargo, la documentación de la época ...
Energy savings using sunspaces to preheat ventilation intake air: Experimental and simulation study
(Elsevier, 2021-08)
This paper investigates the potential benefits of sunspaces to preheat the ventilation intake air to reduce the energy consumption of buildings. When sunspaces are combined with a mechanical ventilation system, it is ...
Evaluation of passive strategies, natural ventilation and shading systems, to reduce overheating risk in a passive house tower in the north of Spain during the warm season
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
During the last decade in the European Union, some targets have been set to reduce energy consumption in buildings, promoting the construction of nearly Zero Energy Buildings and under certificates as Passivhaus.
Different ...
Well-Being through workplace health promotion interventions by European enterprises
(Elsevier, 2022-07)
Well-being and in particular the differences that may exist in the adopted workplace interventions by European enterprises have not yet been addressed in depth by the literature. The objective of this article is to make a ...
