Unlike urban dwellings, it is very common for elderly people to stay at home alone in Chinese rural families, and some families have three generations the same house who are different situations, their family patterns lead highly sensitive parameters of building energy consumption. This paper first selects most based on a questionnaire survey. The measured consumption behavior electrical parame...

Reducing the detrimental impact of human activities on our environment is an essential need. Buildings have a significant role in accomplishing this need, which necessitates conduction comprehensive research that adequately identifies underlying factors and then seeks sustainable solutions. Green buildings been one critical initiatives to lessen negative endeavors environment. The structural fr...

Background: The use of daylight in offices has become an effective strategy to improve the quality of indoor space and energy efficiency. There is enough potential to have daylight autonomy in Kerman as a city with more than 300 sunny days a year. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between facades configuration and the amount of daylight in office buildings of Kerman. ...

More than ever before, the COVID-19 crisis and need to spend longer periods of time in our places residence, have highlighted improve indoor air quality (IAQ) ventilation reduce risks airborne virus transmission. Added progressively energy performance buildings achieve carbon neutrality is this completely contrary new requirement, which forces reconsidering issue, its standards, technological s...

There are no exact criteria for the architecture of openings and windows in office buildings order to optimize energy consumption. Due physical limitations this renewable source lack conscious control over its capabilities, amount light entering offices role daylight as a determined by how they constructed. In study, standard room dimensions, which suitable three five employees, compared comput...

Industrial buildings in Italy are currently highly energy intensive. Their old age prevents them from complying with current environmental and requirements; consequently, redevelopment initiatives should therefore be considered order to improve the overall performances of these facilities. Within this framework, research aims evaluate results achievable by introducing indirect green façades as ...

Global warming is expected to raise the average temperature of tropical region by up 3–4°C in next 70 years. Due vulnerable living conditions that are predominant most developing countries region, this will dramatically affect indoor thermal performance exclusively, naturally ventilated buildings form majority residential less-industrialized nations. In addition, lack knowledge about built envi...

The high energy use of hospitals and healthcare facilities globally contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, a large percentage this is attributed space heating, cooling ventilation, hence correlated climate. While performance Australian at design stage evaluated using historical weather data, impact warming climate on into future remains unknown. research question addressed i...

Mosques are sanctuary places for Muslims where they can perform their religious activities and also communicate with each other. On the other hand, historical mosques may contain artworks which have cultural heritage values. These originally not any Heating, Ventilating Air-Conditioning systems.
