The use of setpoint temperatures based on adaptive thermal comfort models has been identified as an efficient energy saving measure in the latest years. recent studies applying consider ASHRAE and EN16798-1 international models. However, this study considered a local Japanese model instead. Therefore, analyses demand resulting from application compares it with worldwide Standard 55 other fixed temperatures. Building simulations have performed considering all different climate zones territory...

The thermal transmittance of building envelopes determines to a large extent the energy demand buildings. Thus, there is keen interest in having methods which can precisely evaluate transmittance. From scientific point view, this study analyses viability application thermometric method (THM), one most used Spain. For purpose, test has been improved by determining adequate conditions, selection and installation equipment, data acquisition post-processing, estimation uncertainty. We analyse...

The 3D digitization and Building Information Modeling (BIM), which is based on parametric objects, have considerably advanced by developing massive data capture techniques. Thus, reverse engineering currently plays a major role as these technologies accurately efficiently the geometry, color textures of complex architectural, archaeological cultural heritage. This paper aims to validate close-range Structure from Motion (SfM) for heritage analyzing point density mesh geometry in comparison...

It has recently become clear that using adaptive thermal comfort models to determine setpoint temperatures is a successful energy-saving method. Global like ASHRAE 55 and EN16798-1 have been used in recent experiments temperatures. This work, however, taken different route by concentrating on region-specific Australian model. The goal compare the energy implications of use based local model compared worldwide highlight significance choosing most fitting for making accurate predictions. All...

The preservation of the architectural heritage is characterized by intervention different technicians, who may disagree on decision-making criteria. In recent years, H-BIM methodology has emerged to manage these buildings, although multidisciplinary technical personnel make decision-taking something a challenge. this regard, artificial intelligence be an opportunity establish automatic responses, thus optimizing process. This article proposes implement models classification using J48...

The Spanish Building Technical Code (CTE) sets that all new and restored buildings meeting its requirements have nearly zero energy consumption. This code is based on establishing limit values according to the climate zone. However, previous studies shown both existence of inequalities among regions limitations related direct application these criteria. work analyses classification included in CTE presents a methodology k-means. For this purpose, region Andalusia was chosen, 8 case located...

Heritage preservation presents uncertainties in the global warming context. Both predicting performance of environmental variables within built environment and assessing conditions heritage elements are today something a challenge. Based on current monitorings, this study uses artificial intelligence to predict future scenarios. In addition, assessed according threshold values. The Chapel University Seville was chosen as case study, applying both values from UNI 10829 index (PI) assess...

Currently, the knowledge of energy consumption in buildings new and existing dwellings is essential to control propose conservation measures. Most predictions are based on fixed values related internal thermal ambient pre-established operation hypotheses, which do not reflect dynamic use users’ requirements. Spain a clear example such situation. This study suggests an adaptive comfort model as predictive method ambient, well several both conditions combined simulation model: Adaptive Comfort...

Domestic hot water (DHW) consumption in dwellings can play a key role the development of policies that are focused on energy poverty, and improving efficiency, among other aspects. There is an important variability observed with DHW different countries due to technical, sociological, climatic, economic factors. Most studies deal predictions based stochastic models, only few apply time series or statistical methods. In case Chile, country undergoing policy process, there little information...

This study aims to assess the energy poverty risk in municipalities Andalusia (Spain) know their existing differences prioritise aids with greater needs. For this purpose, a composed indicator is developed. new based on so-called High Energy Requirements (HER) index, where proxy indicators related building efficiency are joint and climate severity indicators, together income conditions gender gap of population, included. assesses globally, joining characteristics dwelling stock other factors...

To achieve the goals of reducing building energy consumption, regulations are being designed to guarantee appropriate performance buildings. Both European and South American countries establish requirements thermal properties envelope according climate zone, thus implying notable differences in classifications technical requirements. This research provides a general view advantages limitations between different state three (Argentina, Brazil, Chile) (Spain, Portugal, France). A total 792...

Over time, whether through traditional knowledge or the constructive implementation, relationship of built environment with climate conditions a certain place has been developed. The control these symbiotic solutions based on climate-conscious design and their strategic approach have improved to keep better welfare levels. Due change, however, strategies could be modified in context global warming. This research considers Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP 2.6, 4.5 RCP 8.5) analyse...
