Decoupling the heat loss coefficient of an in-use office building into its transmission and infiltration heat loss coefficients
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]The actual building energy performance essentially depends on the building occupant's behaviour, the real performance of the installed energy systems and the in-use performance of the building envelope. The thermal ...
Thermal characterization of a modular living wall for improved energy performance in buildings
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
Vertical vegetation systems are an innovative passive method for decreasing the thermal energy demand of buildings while increasing the quality of urban life. The main objective of this work is to calculate the effectiveness ...
Defining the cooling and heating solar efficiency of a building component skin: application to a modular living wall
(Elsevier, 2022-06-25)
[EN] The thermal evaluation of building components composed of a base wall with a solar passive skin solution, such as a vertical/roof greenery system, ventilated facade, reflective painting, etc., is usually performed as ...
Comparison between Energy Simulation and Monitoring Data in an Office Building
(MDPI, 2021-12-30)
One of the most important steps in the retrofitting process of a building is to understand its pre-retrofitting stage energy performance. The best choice for carrying this out is by means of a calibrated building energy ...
Evaluation of green walls as a passive acoustic insulation system for buildings
(Elsevier, 2015-03)
Greenery on buildings is being consolidated as an interesting way to improve the quality of life in urban environments. Among the benefits that are associated with greenery systems for buildings, such as energy savings, ...
Field assessment of thermal behaviour of social housing apartments in Bilbao, Northern Spain
(Elsevier, 2013-06-26)
A field study of 10 social housing dwellings in the north of Spain is presented in this paper. Knowing the building stock is the first step to set up priorities in a global strategy to improve the energy efficiency of the ...
