The objective of this study is to investigate the climate characteristics of Indonesian regions using an Olgyay Bioclimatic chart, a Givoni–Milne Bioclimatic chart and a Mahoney Table as the pre-design stage in the development of a passive house design standard for residential house construction in Indonesia. Jakarta was the city chosen for deep analysis, because it represents most of the Indon...

The XXI century home should be a digital habitat, a connected residence, but at the same time it should be involved in sustainability and the environment. The location of new technologies at home, and its acceptance by the user, requires, among other actions, a significant diffusion and activity to be undertaken. This work proposes the development of a Smart House network designed for its integ...

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 warm...

This paper presents various aspects, which characterise the traditional architecture in the town of Florina, north-western Greece, and can be related to bioclimatic and environmental architecture. The study is based on the documentation and the analysis of the architectural and bioclimatic aspects of a sample of forty (40) remaining houses of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. The ...

Bioclimatic design can effectively affect the environmental thermal comfort level through changing surface of study area. Using Zhengzhou Beach Park as a case study, impact three different bioclimatic methods (changing pavement only, only and both design) on outdoor comfort, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed under Envi-met model is quantitatively analysed. The results show that schemes...
