Many studies are nowadays focused on the application of energy conservation measures
(ECMs) to building sector because of the reductions of both greenhouse gases and energy …

A sustainable use of active heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems is
crucial for minimum energy consumption. Currently, research studies are increasingly …

The use of setpoint temperatures based on adaptive comfort algorithms is a method more
and more used as an energy saving technique. Knowing the relationship between …

There is currently a need to restore the existing building stock. For this purpose, an energy
evaluation of the building is conducted before deciding which intervention should be made …

Abstract In Spain, the current Building Technical Code (referred to as CTE in Spanish)
establishes restrictive setpoint temperatures that ensure high levels of thermal comfort but at …

Currently, the knowledge of energy consumption in buildings of new and existing dwellings
is essential to control and propose energy conservation measures. Most of the predictions of …

Building energy performance should be improved to reduce the impact of climate change.
The energy saving potential has been recently proved with adaptive setpoint temperatures …

Comfort analysis of existing naturally ventilated buildings located in mild climates, such as
the ones in the Mediterranean zones, offer room for a reduction in the present and future …

Reports of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have set various greenhouse gas
emissions scenarios, through which the evolution of the temperature of the planet can be …

This research explores the energy behaviour of a traditional house on the Mediterranean
coast of south-eastern Spain. The objective of the work is to determine the optimal passive …
