The article describes from an architectonical point of view the design, assembly, and energy behavior a prototype for air-conditioning in residential buildings using Peltier cells, which means application field construction technology used very specific areas. new system has been designed as independent, prefabricated, modular element that must fit perfectly between structural floors is easily adapted to demands different buildings. thermoelectric cooling heating unit offer high level...
The strategies for thermal regulation and environmental control found in nature are countless. In this article, a parallelism between animals building energy systems is defined order to identify emphasize the immediate opportunities that biomimicry offers future research. motivation was need find alternative solutions tackle problems mainly efficiency of heating, ventilation cooling systems. Due wide range possibilities offered by animals, study largely limited cold-blooded have developed...
ABSTRACT Buildings are a very special kind of machine. In terms hygrothermal conditioning, it can be said that they switch on and off to maintain regular temperature in relationship with the activities carried out inside them. It is strategy similar developed by ‘warm blooded’ animals, which their high metabolism rate. There numerous passive strategies architecture allow have an effective control over indoor conditions order levels comfort needed for human habitability lower energy...
The aim of this innovative educational project is to encourage students' interest in one the most underrated fields fire safety: emergency lighting. So aims combine relationships amongst evacuation safety theory, real manufacturers products and an specific software for its usage. In order achieve it, a 'technical cabinet' has been designed built use Laboratory University School. design, content learning system cabinet confirmed validity initial concept during first year use. A protocol also...
