The worldwide environmentally friendly trend has focused the last decade on emphasizing value of energy conservation and reducing carbon footprint in buildings, achieving zero buildings. Presently, viable building techniques, developing countries, are insufficient to achieve Thus, authorities should implement policies mandating new developments renovations establish “energy-efficient buildings”; nevertheless, design solutions be properly evaluated assessed preceding execution. without...
Positive Energy Districts (PED) are areas within cities that generate more renewable energy than they consume, contributing to cities’ system transformation toward carbon neutrality. Since PED is a novel concept, the implementation very challenging. Within European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action, which offers an open space for collaboration among scientists across Europe (and beyond), this paper asks what needs supporting of PEDs are. To answer this, it draws on Delphi...
As buildings consume a considerable portion of the global energy output and have key role in greenhouse gas emissions, several steps been taken to lower emissions from especially through adoption renewable sources. The emerging building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technologies act as replacements for conventional envelopes well generation purpose is examining, parametric analysis, potentials energy-efficient solutions different hot climatic regions. Through an enviro-economic assessment,...
Based on the European energy directives, building sector has to provide comfortable levels for occupants with minimum consumption as well reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This paper aims compare impact of climate change performance residential buildings in order derive potential design strategies. Different file inputs Madrid have been used quantify comparatively thermal needs two reference located this city. One them represents older than 40 years built according applicable Spanish...
Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) are considered as one of the pioneer strategies to guide cities in their energy planning process towards climate neutrality an attractive, innovative and human-centered way. The concept PED is result a long co-creation integrates several multidimensional features, aiming promote sustainable development urban areas transition neutral system. paper provides overview first outcomes WG1 “PED Mapping, Characterization Learning”, research COST Action CA19126...
This paper presents the Positive Energy District Database (PED DB), a pivotal web tool developed collaboratively by COST Action ‘PED-EU-NET’, in alignment with international initiatives such as JPI Urban Europe and IEA EBC Annex 83. The PED DB represents crucial step towards sharing knowledge, promoting collaboration, reinforcing decision-making, advancing understanding of Districts (PEDs) pursuit sustainable urban environments. aims to comprehensively map disseminate information on PEDs...
Commercial and residential building is one of the four major final energy consumption end-use sectors. In this sector, cooling loads represent an important part consumption, therefore, they must be minimized, improving efficiency buildings. Ventilated façades are most widely used passive elements that integrated into buildings, precisely with aim reducing these loads. This reduction due to airflow induced in air cavity by buoyancy forces, when solar radiation heats outer layer façade. open...
New technological, societal and legislative developments are necessary to support transitions low-carbon energy systems. The building sector is responsible for almost 36% of the global final 40% CO2 emissions, so this has high potential contribute expansion positive districts. With aim, a new digital Geographic Information System (GIS) platform been developed quantify savings obtained through implementation refurbishment measures in residential buildings, including solar thermal collectors...
The development of city-driven urban laboratories was considered a priority by the European Commission through Action 3.2 Strategic Energy Technology Plan. In this context, positive-energy districts could take role drivers toward innovation and sustainability in cities. These labs can provide real-life facilities with innovative co-creation processes and, at same time, testing, experimenting, prototyping technologies. scope, authors work want to share very first results an empirical study...
This ongoing global pandemic of the COVID-19 has generated a significant international concern for our respiratory health. For instance, breakout was directly linked to spread infectious particles in indoor environments between humans, underlining significance rigorous and effective actions limit transmission diseases. Recently, Mucormycosis infections patients have been identified. investigation aims investigate potential infection control HVAC solutions environments, as well their core...
COVID-19 has posed an extraordinary burden to those professionals responsible for properly operating and safely maintaining facilities throughout this disaster. Considering global pandemic, the common spaces in buildings must be reconsidered accommodate a future in-presence existence. Governments address human health safety as most vital considerations worldwide; thus, Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC) designs, airflow patterns, temperature distribution all achieve such healthy...
Building energy use is becoming increasingly important worldwide, with the increasing necessity to attain indoor thermal conditions. The high temperatures in hot climates cause human dissatisfaction resulting higher of air conditioning systems. As a result, those buildings rises regularly driven by increase systems operation. In non-residential building sector, system consumes majority building's satisfy comfort requirements. With this aim, simulations have nowadays become an tool fulfill...
