We present unprecedented datasets of current and future projected weather files for building simulations in 15 major cities distributed across 10 climate zones worldwide. The include ambient air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, direct diffuse solar irradiance, wind speed at hourly resolution, which are essential elements needed to undertake simulations. contain typical extreme years the EnergyPlus file (EPW) format multiyear projections comma-separated value (CSV) three...
There is growing concern that global warming will change the building’s performance pattern in future. This paper investigates effects of climate changes on heating and cooling energy demand, overall overheating risk typical residential buildings (existing refurbished) biggest city most populated Italian climatic zone, Milan. The widely used morphing methodology was adapted for creating future weather data different scenarios. Energy analysis carried out using dynamic simulation near term...
The building energy performance pattern is predicted to be shifted in the future due climate change. To analyze this phenomenon, there an urgent need for reliable and robust weather datasets. Several ways estimating projection creating files exist. This paper attempts comparatively three tools generating datasets based on statistical downscaling (WeatherShift, Meteonorm, CCWorldWeatherGen) with one dynamical (a future-typical meteorological year, created using a high-quality reginal model)....
One of the main tasks European Energy Performance Buildings Directive 2002/91/EC (EPBD) pertains to energy building certification. For this purpose, recent standards have defined a methodology for assessment use buildings through calculation ratings. The accuracy rating depends both on detail level model and confidence input data. In work, quasi-steady simplified monthly method, presented in ISO 13790: 2008 standard, has been applied dwelling Turin, Italy, order calculate its rating. A...
Directive 2010/31/EU promotes the refurbishment of existing buildings to change them into nearly zero-energy (nZEBs). Within this framework, it is crucial importance guarantee best trade-off between energy performance and indoor environmental quality (IEQ). The implications a global scenario on thermal visual comfort are assessed in paper pertaining an office building. retrofit actions applied achieve nZEB target consist combination envelope technical building systems measures, involving...
Directive 2010/31/EU establishes that Member States must ensure minimum energy performance requirements for buildings are set with a view to achieve cost-optimal levels. The paper presents methodology identifying the levels Italian residential building stock, following Guidelines accompanying Commission Delegated Regulation No. 244/2012. is applied reference of IEE-TABULA project and considering different efficiency measures. global cost calculations performed according UNI/TS 11300 UNI EN...
The article presents the fundamental steps of building refurbishment toward nZEB target; it is based on a detailed energy audit and financial analysis. methodology starts from set-up numerical model building, calibrated through actual data operation, climate consumption. Then, cost-optimisation procedure applied to identify efficiency measures that determine minimum global cost in 30 years lifetime. Finally, are improved as comply with requirements be cost-effective well. was high school Torino.
The impacts of climate change, excessive greenhouse gas emissions, and the current energy crisis have motivated European Union to adopt mitigation adaptation strategies. These strategies primarily focus on building sector due its crucial role in addressing these issues. Among strategies, implementation resilient technologies for envelope, such as vertical greenery systems (VGSs) is gaining ground. literature analysis shows that existing models are not sufficiently detailed their description...
