The accurate prediction of thermal sensation among office workers, at design and post-occupancy stages, is crucial for controlling indoor temperature efficiently correcting deficiencies in workspaces, ensuring healthy productive working conditions. Traditional analytical comfort models are still the best tool this purpose given their potential interpretation. However, reliability undermined by poor accuracy. Based on 304 data series point-in-time measurements quantitative qualitative...
Buildings represent 40% of the European Union's final energy consumption and are largely residential use.From 2006 to 2016, existing housing stocks have been analysed at national level make refurbishment processes transparent effective.However, metascale regions, cities or neighbourhoods, case-by-case analysis using Building Energy Models (BEM) becomes an unfeasible decision-support tool.To try overcome this limitation, nascent field Urban Modelling (UBEM) is making substantial progress in...
Social heritage housing in Mediterranean historic cities is particularly vulnerable to climate change hazards as protection policies lead its exclusion from energy retrofitting programmes, leaving their residents - at higher risk of fuel poverty and the heat-island effect – defenceless. Increasingly frequent heatwaves can potentially produce "overheating" these buildings, a thermal state that impedes people's comfort with harmful consequences health. Other indoor air quality factors, like...
