Three papers were presented in this workshop. The first was on the subject of the Wintry Thermal Environment and Domestic Energy Use in Nepal. It was presented by Pokharel Ram and co-written with Hom Rijal and Masanori Shukuya from Tokyo City University (CATE 2019 Proceedings, pp. 377-382). This paper introduced several unique elements to the...
Much of the residential sector in Spain is obsolete, with inadequate conditions of comfort and high energy consumption. For this reason most of the potential for improving energy efficiency lies in the existing residential sector, which requires upgrading to meet the quantitative and qualitative changes required at present. This study of...
The new energy objectives of the EU for 2020 will not be possible unless the extensive residential stock is improved energetically. In this panorama it is very important to propose procedures for the analysis and energy assessment of existing residential buildings in order to contribute to their retrofitting, cutting down consumption and...
La promoción de una adecuada calidad del aire en espacios interiores es una cuestión de salud pública, ya que, de esta manera, se permite mantener a ni veles adecuados diferentes parámetros y contaminantes ambientales deriva dos de la actividad humana. En este contexto, el hecho de que la población habite espacios más saludables puede...
La población de los países industrializados pasa entre un 80 % y un 90 % de su tiempo en interiores, incluyendo especialmente a la población más vulnerable, como niños, ancianos y enfermos. De no existir una ventilación adecuada, se producirá una degradación del ambiente interior, lo que puede conllevar sintomatologías y problemas de salud;...
Como se ha discutido en capítulos anteriores, la ventilación consiste en el proceso de renovar el aire de un recinto mediante aporte de aire exterior, sustituyendo, con ello, el aire viciado interior. Con esto se consigue mejorar la calidad del aire interior (IAQ). Ventilando, por tanto, se pueden diluir hasta niveles aceptables los...
Historic Heritage buildings play an important role in modern societies, as they are a way of keeping your identity safe for future generations. Its conservation challenges the cultural diversity ensurance in a constantly changing world. However, it is an area characterized by the level of energy inefficiency that contributes to a large amount...
Historical heritage buildings often face challenges in maintaining suitable indoor environmental conditions, leading to high energy consumption. Insufficient control of the hygrothermal environment and indoor air quality can have adverse effects on both occupants and the valuable artworks housed within these significant structures....
Current standards for indoor air quality (IAQ) in non-residential buildings demand high air renewal rates with different filtration stages and constant flow. Currently, new school buildings must incorporate mechanical ventilation systems which modify traditional heating installations in order to comply with the requirements for indoor air...
The airtightness of building envelopes is one of the factors which most affects the hygrothermal conditions and the air quality of the indoor environment, as well as the energy consumption of the building. In multi-dwelling units this contributes significantly to the overall load for heating or air conditioning, making it possible to calculate...
In southern Europe, the present stock of social housing is ventilated naturally, with practice varying in the di erent seasons of the year. In winter, windows are kept closed most of the day with the exception of short periods for ventilation, whereas the rest of the year the windows are almost permanently open. In cold weather, air changes...
Social housing dating from the postwar years through the end of the twentieth century is one of the major stores of European cities' residential stock. As it is generally characterised by a poor thermal performance and an ine cient control of energy consumption, it constitutes one of the main targets for residential heritage renewal. This study...
Social housing dating from the period between the Second World War and the end of the oil crisis is one of the major stores of residential stock of European cities. This housing stock is a major target for retrofitting given its characteristic poor thermal performance and inefficient control of energy consumption. This article proposes a method...
This article describes two models developed to predict airtightness in multifamily buildings in a Mediterranean region. They are designed to enable city planners, architects and engineers to estimate airtightness in homes built from 1980 to date (predictive model 1) or prior to 1979 (predictive model 2), when the first domestic energy...
Although energy analysis techniques can contribute to substantial energy savings in housing stock retrofitting operations, the outcomes often deviate significantly from the predicted results, which tend to overestimate potential savings by overestimating the starting energy baselines, particularly in southern Europe. This deviation can be...
Este trabajo forma parte de una investigación mayor que los autores están llevando a cabo y que tiene como objetivo evaluar la eficiencia energética de diferentes estrategias de rehabilitación de edificios de viviendas, con el fin de establecer criterios preferenciales de intervención de acuerdo a la zona climáticas donde se ubica, a la...
This study presents the methodology followed in the European R+D project ENERGYTIC "Technology, Information and Communication Services for Engaging Social Housing Residents in Energy and Water Efficiency". This project focused on improving energy and water consumption using ICT solutions that provide a user-friendly system for monitoring and...
The development of policies to improve energy efficiency and the retrofitting of the existing housing stock requires an adequate knowledge of the operation in practice and user needs. This becomes crucial when intervening in social housing, where household energy practices are likely to be confounded by energy affordability leading to outcomes...
In the face of the largest human displacement ever recorded in modern history more than 79.5 million persons around the world have been forced to flee their homes worldwide at the end of 2019, from which 30 million are refugees. However, most shelters lack actual capacity to provide adequate thermal control for much of the year time; whereas...
It is widely known that global warming could lead to a humanitarian crisis. In fact, the environmental and climatic conditions needed by people to survive are being increasingly disrupted. Europe is facing the worst displacement crisis since World War ll, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). There are more...
