Guía de diseño Etxelagun. Modelo de transformación de viviendas para mitigar las soledades y aumentar la autonomía de las personas mayores
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2022)
El objetivo de esta guía es definir pautas de diseño de las viviendas en el Territorio Histórico de Gipuzkoa que posibiliten paliar la percepción de soledad y fomentar la autonomía de las personas mayores de 55 años que ...
Occupants’ behavioural diversity regarding the indoor environment in social housing. Case study in Northern Spain
(Elsevier, 2023-10)
Previous research has shown that differences in preferences, habits, and uses can exist in buildings with similar characteristics, which can influence building performance, energy efficiency, and the well-being of occupants. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
