The green facades and living walls of vertical greenery systems (VGS) are gaining increasing importance as sustainable building design elements because they can improve the environmental impact a building. field could benefit from comprehensive mapping out VGS types, an improved classification nomenclature system, linking benefits to specific construction type. Therefore, this research reviews existing types links associated them, clearly differentiating empirical descriptive supporting...
Despite the global call for a paradigm shift towards new environmentally conscious urban planning, little has changed in practice, especially hot climatic regions. This paper helps bridge this gap by introducing an automated parametric workflow performance driven design. The methodology was tested here and Mediterranean context consists of typological analysis, through Grasshopper with total 1920 iterations. For each iteration performative effects both building (i.e. typology, window to wall...
Cooling demands of commercial buildings present a relevant challenge for sustainable future. They account over half the overall energy needs operation an average office building in warm climates, and this situation is expected to become more pressing due increasing temperatures cities worldwide. To tackle issue, it widely agreed that application passive strategies should be first step design efficient buildings, only using active equipment if truly necessary. Nonetheless, there still further...
The physiological and cognitive effects of environmental stimuli from the built environment on humans have been studied for more than a century, over short time frames in terms comfort, long-time health wellbeing. strong interdependence objective subjective factors these fields study has traditionally involved necessity to rely number qualitative sources information, as self-report variables, which however, raise criticisms concerning their reliability precision. Recent advancements sensing...
This paper seeks to present a panorama of cooling related research in office buildings, categorising reported experiences from the past 25 years order identify knowledge gaps and define current paths trends for further exploration. The general goal behind this is support design sustainable buildings warm climates through examination experiences, thus focuses on strategies at building level specially with façade design. Peer reviewed journal articles were selected as source study, given...
Solar cooling systems have gained increased attention these last years, for its potential to lower indoor temperatures using renewable energy. However, architectural integration of in buildings has not been fully explored. Current developments such as small scale solar driven heat pumps and kits commercially available application raise questions about how successfully integrate into buildings, while present interesting opportunities the development new performance based façade components or...
Increasing cooling demands in the built environment call for innovative technical solutions and systems application buildings. Cooling loads represent an important share of total energy consumption warm climates, especially commercial office Moreover, mechanical will still be needed most cases to cope with loads, even after considering passive strategies design building its façade. Solar technologies present interesting assets, being based on environmentally friendly processes, driven by...
Building operational energy alone accounts for 28% of global carbon emissions. A sustainable building operation promises enormous savings, especially under the increasing concern climate change and rising trends digitalization electrification buildings. Intelligent control strategies play a crucial role in systems electrical grids to reach EU goal neutrality 2050 manage availability regenerative energy. This study aims prove that one can create emission savings with simple weather predictive...
In humans, exposure to light can impact alertness and cognitive performance. These effects of are mediated by the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) expressing photopigment melanopsin, which signals environmental in addition cone- rod-mediated pathways. Most studies investigating have focused on alertness, raising question how higher-level tasks such as working memory modulated light. This study investigated dose-response relationship for performance mental...
Quantifying and rating energy flexibility in existing buildings will become increasingly important as building services electrified. Flexibility ratings based on design specifications have shown potential to complement performance certificates enable the comparison between buildings. However, relying physical models standard boundary conditions could lead a 'flexibility gap': difference predicted actual flexibility. This article investigates incorporation of monitored data into design-based...
A study of computerized tomography (CT) scans was performed in a consecutive series 100 patients with ruptured saccular cerebral aneurysms who were admitted, diagnosed, and operated on within 72 hours after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) treated calcium antagonists. The the anterior portion circle Willis 95% posterior 5%; 12% had multiple aneurysms. Preoperative neurological grades according to Hunt Hess I III 74% IV or V 26%. Subarachnoid as determined by CT scanning minor 20%, moderate 43%,...
The concept of resilience in urban design and decision-making is principally focused on change instead resistance over an adaptive process. For cities, this a broader scale means how to withstand unforeseen events that will fundamentally amend the city’s wellbeing, rather than being stabilized protected. same applicable for outdoor comfort as approach compensate extreme heat waves health risk conditions. This chapter presents methods, tools, applications enhance at micro looking correlations...
