Proceedings CLIMA 2022: The 14th REHVA HVAC World Congress Open
The 14th REHVA HVAC World Congress CLIMA2022 challenges advances in technologies for smart energy transition, digitization, circularity, health and well-being in buildings. How can we create circular buildings, fully heated, cooled and pow…
Architectural Photovoltaic Applications: Lessons Learnt and Perceptions from Architects Open
Researchers have reported that despite technological development in photovoltaic technology and substantial cost reduction, there is still a narrow interest in architectural photovoltaic applications (APA). Lack of interest is correlated t…
Planning for change: A methodological framework for integrating circularity into Tu Delft's Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment's curricula Open
This paper introduces a methodological framework to integrate circularity in architectural curricula and the building blocks that led to its conceptualisation. The first block (Part A) examines how complexity has affected learning and arch…
Assessment of Current Energy Consumption in Residential Buildings in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Open
In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), residential buildings’ energy consumption accounts for almost 50% of the building stock electricity consumption. The KSA’s economy relies heavily on fossil fuel sources, namely oil reservoirs, whose de…
Assessment of the Current Energy Consumption of Residential Buildings in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Open
In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), residential buildings’ energy consumption accounts for almost 50% of the building stock electricity consumption. The electricity generation consumes over one-third of the daily oil production. KSA was …
Solar cooling evaluation - Façade integration Open
Increasing cooling demands in buildings call for innovative environmentally friendly systems to cope with remaining loads after the application of passive design strategies. Solar cooling technologies present interesting assets, but their …
Solar cooling integrated facades Open
Solar cooling systems have gained increased attention these last years, for their potential to lower indoor temperatures using renewable energy. However, architectural integration of these systems in buildings has not been fully explored. …
Climate responsive façade design Open
Cooling demands of commercial buildings present a relevant challenge for a sustainable future. They account for over half of the overall energy needs for the operation of an average office building in warm climates, and this situation is e…
