Urban Heat Stress and Mitigation Solutions
This book provides the reader with an understanding of the impact that different morphologies, construction materials and green coverage solutions have on the urban microclimate, thus affecting the comfort conditions of urban inhabitants and the energy needs of buildings in urban areas. The book covers the latest approaches to energy and outdoor comfort measurement and modelling on an urban scale, and describes possible measures and strategies to mitigate the effects of the mutual interaction between urban settlements and local microclimate. Despite its relevance, only limited literature is currently devoted to appraising—from an engineering perspective—the intertwining relationships bet...
Urban Microclimate Modelling for Comfort and Energy Studies
This book discusses urban microclimate and heat-related risks in urban areas, brought on by the combination of global climate change effects and local modification of climate determined by extensive urbanization such as the ‘Urban heat island’ phenomenon. This matter is relevant to almost all urbanized areas in the world, where the increase of urban population and air temperature is expected to endanger both the overall health of the population and the energy supply for the functioning of urban systems. The book details the inter-relationship between urban morphology, microclimate and building energy performance and presents a multidisciplinary approach that brings together Urban Climatology, Engineering and Architectural knowledge to support the development of reliable models and tools for research and practice. This book is a useful tool for architects and building energy modelers, urban planners and geographers who need a practical guide to realize basic urban microclimate simulation for use in both academic research and planning practice.
High Efficient Buildings in Mediterranean Area
The Building sector requires a conspicuous considerable amount of energy for services related to annual air-conditioning and the thermal comfort of indoor spaces. The design of highly efficient low-energy buildings is often a challenging task, especially rranean area, where the balanced requirement for heating and cooling energy does not usually permit a high level of envelope insulation in order to avoid summer overheating. This topical Special Issue of Energies is dedicated to “High Efficient Buildings in Mediterranean Area: Challenges and Perspectives” and collects studies related to the assessment and evaluation of systems and technologies for building energy management and control i...
Sustainability in Energy and Buildings
This volume contains the proceedings of the 11th KES International Conference on Sustainability and Energy in Buildings 2019 (SEB19) held in Budapest, 4th -5th July 2019 organised by KES International in partnership with Cardiff Metropolitan University, Wales, UK. SEB-19 invited contributions on a range of topics related to sustainable buildings and explored innovative themes regarding sustainable energy systems. The aim of the conference was to bring together researchers, and government and industry professionals to discuss the future of energy in buildings, neighbourhoods and cities from a theoretical, practical, implementation and simulation perspective. The conference formed an exciting ...
Sustainable Lighting & Lighting for Sustainability
The role of lighting is developing into a topic considered alongside sustainable development. Some years ago, lighting installations fulfilled technical requirements and consumed only enough energy for the accurate completion of visual tasks. This recently changed due to several discoveries in the matter of non-visual paths, whose influence on users' well-being, safety, mood, and productivity is starting to be applied to installations. Today, we know that sustainable development depends on many factors but we are only now beginning to understand how accurate lighting can be used to promote development from different perspectives. The present book compiles work dealing with the way lighting installations must be designed to work in an efficient and sustainable way, together with the way lighting can be used to contribute to sustainable development beyond the well-know savings in energy, green-house gas emissions, and raw materials consumption. The union of both concepts, sustainable lighting and lighting for sustainability is what is call "total lighting", the global framework with which the lighting community will work in the near future.
Innovation in Urban and Regional Planning
This book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in urban and regional planning processes and science, as presented by international researchers at the 11th International Conference on Innovation in Urban and Regional Planning (INPUT), held in Catania, Italy, on September 8-10, 2021. The overarching theme of the conference INPUT 2021 was “Integrating Nature-Based Solutions in Planning Science and Practice”, with contributes focusing on functionality of urban ecosystems toward more healthier and resilient cities, planning solutions for socio-ecological systems, technologies and hybrid models for spatial planning, geodesign, urban metabolism, computational planning, ecosystems services, green infrastructure, climate change adaptation and mitigation, rural landscapes, cultural heritage, and accessibility for urban planning. The conference brought together international scholars in the field of planning, civil engineering and architecture, ecology and social science, to build and consolidate the knowledge and evidence on NBS in urban and regional planning.
Tecnologie solari negli edifici esistenti
Il volume fa parte della collana sulla “riqualificazione energetica degli edifici” nata per fornire un’analisi dettagliata sull’importanza che le diverse componenti (pareti opache e trasparenti, impianti, utilizzo di fonti rinnovabili) rivestono nella ristrutturazione di grandi complessi residenziali o dei singoli edifici. Questo manuale completo e dettagliato, spiega passo dopo passo che cosa sono le cosiddette tecnologie solari, come si progettano e con quali metodologie di calcolo. Uno sguardo a 360 gradi sia sui sistemi attivi che su quelli passivi utilizzabili per la riqualificazione energetica degli edifici. Un obiettivo esplicitamente previsto dalle direttive europee. Il volum...
Solar Cooling Handbook
In vielen Ländern trägt die sommerliche Raumklimatisierung maßgeblich zum Energieverbrauch von Gebäuden bei. Eine vielversprechende Möglichkeit zur Reduktion ist die Nutzung von thermischer Solarenergie in Systemen der solar unterstützten Klimatisierung. Der große Vorteil liegt dabei in der weitgehenden Zeitgleichheit von Kühllasten und Solargewinnen, zumindest im saisonalen Maßstab. Allerdings wurden bis heute weltweit nur vergleichsweise wenige Systeme installiert, und es liegen nur geringe Erfahrungen hinsichtlich Auslegung und Betrieb solcher Anlagen vor. Das Ziel dieser mittlerweile in der 3. Auflage vorliegenden Handbuchs ist es, zur Beseitigung dieses Mangels beizutragen und den Planer bei der Auslegung von Anlagen der solar unterstützten Klimatisierung, die thermische Solarkollektoren als Wärmequelle nutzen, zu unterstützen.
BIM IN A PROJECT MANAGEMENT _ Revit 2016 | Ecotect Analysis | Lumion 5 Software
La tesi si pone l’obiettivo di illustrare e verificare come la metodologia BIM (Building Information Modeling) possa costituire un nuovo paradigma di gestione del processo edilizio, così come sta già avvenendo in larga parte dei paesi maggiormente sviluppati. Per il superamento dell’attuale stato di crisi dell’Industria delle Costruzioni, il BIM si colloca come uno degli "elementi dell’innovazione” la cui adozione si renderebbe necessaria. Uno strumento operativo capace di introdurre una nuova e migliorata logica di gestione dei processi, dei progetti e dei prodotti, ottimizzandone drasticamente tempi e costi. La tesi introduce l’argomento attraverso una definizione dei dati st...
Stati Generali del Patrimonio Industriale. 2022
L’Associazione Italiana per il Patrimonio Archeologico Industriale (AIPAI), in occasione dei suoi 25 anni, ha promosso i Secondi Stati Generali del Patrimonio Industriale. Per tracciare un bilancio ed elaborare strategie e visioni ha posto le condizioni per l’incontro tra gli addetti ai lavori e il confronto tra i molteplici ambiti operativi, di ricerca e istituzionali coinvolti. Ci si è riuniti a Roma e a Tivoli con la consapevolezza che il primo lascito dell’età industriale siamo noi, la nostra società con i suoi pregi e le sue contraddizioni, le incredibili conquiste degli ultimi secoli. La risposta è stata ampia e tra i numerosi contributi presentati in questo volume, si posson...
