Cooling buildings in hot humid climates – a decision model for ventilation
The study that is being undertaken at the University of Porto, Portugal, aims at creating a decision tool, based on the appropriate ventilation strategies for the cooling of buildings in hot humid climates. The climatic conditions of the Amazonic region of Manaus are taken as an example of this type of climate. First, we have to identify every single architectural or climatic parameter related ...
متن کاملThe Impact of Different Thermal Comfort Models on Zero Energy Residential Buildings in the Hot Climates
The selection Selecting the right of a thermal comfort model for establishing optimal indoor optimal hygrothermal conditions during the hot period has a major impact on energy consumption of Net Zero Energy Buildings in hot climates. The objective of this paper is to compare the influence of using different thermal comfort models for zero energy buildings in hot climates. The paper compares the...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Corn Silage Quality in Hot and Humid Climates
Dairy farmers in many parts of the world rely on corn silage as a source of digestible fiber and readily fermentable energy for their cattle. In Florida, Georgia and many tropical countries, such farmers face several climatic challenges that can complicate corn silage production including temperatures that reduce the rate of photosynthesis (Crafts-Brandner and Salvucci, 2002) and reduction in p...
متن کاملTowards Nearly Zero Energy Buildings in Europe: A Focus on Retrofit in Non-Residential Buildings
Buildings are the focus of European (EU) policies aimed at a sustainable and competitive low-carbon economy by 2020. Reducing energy consumption of existing buildings and achieving nearly zero energy buildings (NZEBs) are the core of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and the recast of the Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD). To comply with these requirements, Member States have ...
متن کاملArchitectural Design Optimization of School Buildings for Reduction of Energy Demand in Hot & Dry Climates of Iran
School buildings as a major part of public buildings are considered as one of the basic consumers of energy in Iran. Based on building typology and occupancy patterns, school buildings have a great potentiality for energy optimization while providing thermal comfort. This study investigates the architectural design parameters such as orientation, optimum window to wall ratio, space organization...
