Glazed Transitional Space as a Passive Heating System (Case Study: Glazed Loggias in Semi-Arid climate)
The environmental concern, ensuring comfort for occupants, pushed us to search for the impact of glazed loggia on thermal comfort of adjacent space in Cons tantine climate, having s trong climatic cons traints. An experimental s tudy is undertaken and described in this paper. Analysis of the in situ results is also discussed. This work shows that in winter glazed loggia benefit largely from sol...
متن کاملGreen Material Prospects for Passive Evaporative Cooling Systems: Geopolymers
Passive cooling techniques have been used mostly in countries with hot and arid climates such as Iran, Egypt, and India. However, the use of this important technology has not been seriously considered until a time of energy crisis, and consequently, environmental crisis scenarios, emerge. Scholars have renewed their interest in investigating passive cooling technology, particularly the aspects ...
متن کاملEnergetic Performance of a Green Roof in the Tropical Environment of La Reunion Island (indian Ocean)
The green roof technology provides environmental benefits by protecting the base roof membrane of buildings against solar radiation and temperature fluctuations and by helping to reduce building’s energy consumption by direct shading. Although several investigations have been performed to explore the energy performance of vegetated roofs as natural cooling devices, there is a lack of data conce...
متن کاملA green roof experimental site in the Mediterranean climate: the storm water quality issue.
Since 2007, the University of Genoa has been carrying out a monitoring programme to investigate the hydrologic response of green roofs in the Mediterranean climate by installing a green roof experimental site. In order to assess the influence of green roofs on the storm water runoff quality, water chemistry data have been included in the monitoring programme since 2010, providing rainfall and o...
متن کاملPlant establishment on unirrigated green roof modules in a subtropical climate
Background and aims The application of green roof technology has become more common in the central, northwestern and eastern USA, and is now being employed across the southern USA as well. However, there is little research in the literature that evaluated plant survival on unirrigated green roofs in subtropical climates that experience frequent drought and heat stress. Here, we summarize the re...
