One of the modern methods protecting against building heat losses is active thermal insulation (ATI). In winter conditions, ATI works by supplying into envelope, which increases temperature in layer. A low-temperature renewable energy medium feeds layer directly, e.g., through solar or geothermal energy. model for transfer envelope with an was developed. The numerical simulations verified simpl...

The Korean government is implementing a 2050 carbon neutrality initiative to handle the climate crisis; furthermore, striving reduce building energy consumption through zero-energy construction for new buildings and green remodeling projects existing buildings. latter primarily based on diagnosis of thermal performance envelope, this can lead development rational energy-saving improvement measu...

An experimental study was carried out on a full-scale passive building equipped with global and local instrumentation the aim of characterizing energy charge discharge processes their coupling to outdoor thermal stresses, especially natural ventilation in summertime. The characterization both is necessary understand behavior building. From measurement campaigns, between charge–discharge qualita...

The air-conditioning energy consumption, for cooling or heating, has currently a growing trend. The purpose of this work is to develop a method suitable to design optimal threedimensional building forms to reduce air-conditioning needs in a chosen location by using weather data. The method exploits in particular both diffuse and direct solar radiation; not independently but rather in relation w...

This study focuses on the impact of school building design factors on winter extra energy consumption which mainly includes space heating, water heating and other appliances related to winter indoor thermal conditions. A number of Auckland schools were randomly selected for the study which introduces a method of using real monthly energy consumption data for a year to calculate winter extra ene...

Within the use of renewable energies in buildings several dynamic influences and interactions have to be regarded. For example, the performance of heat pump systems depends sensitively on weather or geological effects as well as on building and user behaviour. An energetic optimization requires an intelligent coupling and control of all components of the building services installation, the buil...

Through monitoring of buildings, it can be proven that the performance of envelope elements and energy supply systems deteriorates with time. The results of this degradation are higher energy consumption and life cycle costs than projected in the building design phase. This paper considers the impacts of this deterioration on the whole building energy performance with the goal of improving the ...

The European Union has adopted legislation aimed to increase the use of renewable energy and improve effectiveness conventional-form use. Additional structure insulation helps decrease heat loss. Airtightness building envelope (building airtightness) is an additional factor that determines comfortable energy-saving living environment. conformity loss with object’s design class one mandatory ind...

A thermal bridge is a part of the building envelope where the otherwise uniform thermal resistance is significantly changed by: • Full or partial penetration of the building envelope by materials with a different thermal conductivity and/or • A change in thickness of the structure and/or • A difference between internal and external areas, such as occur at wall-floor-ceiling junctions. INTRODUCT...
