Despite a wide range of energy efficiency measures being implemented, carbon emissions
from the building sector continues to rise. Against the backdrop of rapidly increasing cooling …

The climate change leads to periods of extreme events (ie reduction of cold seasons, heat
waves, overheating, urban heat island among others) that affect the performance of …

Mixed-mode (MM) ventilation strategy has been used in many buildings to reduce energy
use. This strategy can be more effective if used along with ceiling fans (CF). The MM …

Overcooling indoor spaces in hot-and-humid regions indicate excessive usage of air
conditioner (AC). Understanding the occupants' thermal perception in AC settings helps …

Ventilative cooling technologies have the potential to be an effective measure to reduce
buildings energy consumption, by meeting some or all of the cooling requirement of a …

Nowadays, the concern with environment is increasingly important, with energy being one of
the sectors that have the highest impact on it. As such, the energy consumed by households …

Abstract The Spanish Building Technical Code (CTE) sets that all new and restored
buildings meeting its requirements have nearly zero energy consumption. This code is …

This work shows a comparative study of energy savings in an air-conditioning educational
building in Aw's tropical climate regarding annual cooling load and degree-days, with …

In this research, heat transfer in a construction material integrating microencapsulated
phase change material (PCM) has been studied and analyzed using a physical model …

It is estimated that about 79% of the energy consumption in buildings is related to lighting,
cooling, and heating. On the other hand, studies showed that the use of smart …
