Experimental development and testing of low-cost scalable radiative cooling materials for building applications
(Elsevier, 2021-09-15)
Urban overheating has a serious impact on building energy consumption. Daytime radiative cooling materials are an interesting passive solution for refrigeration. However, their costs and complex manufacturing hinder their ...
Data on records of indoor temperature and relative humidity in a University building
(Elsevier, 2017-08)
Good indoor comfort and air quality are essential for correct educational development. Most reports in this field focus on primary and secondary school buildings, with numerous projects conducted in the Mediterranean Zone. ...
Energy balance and photovoltaic integration in positive energy buildings. Design and performance in built office case studies
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-10-20)
Solar design will be reshaping the architecture as one way to address the global climate crisis and the
reduction of fossil fuel consumption. This paper analyses the current definition of Positive Energy Building (PEB) ...
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 ...
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 ...
The Ekihouse: An energy self-sufficient house based on passive design strategies
(Elsevier, 2014-11)
EKIHOUSE is an industrialized solar house prototype designed and developed by the University of the Basque Country for the SOLAR DECATHLON EUROPE 2012 competition that took place in Madrid (Spain). The building design ...
