Time-resolved, occupancy-dependent electricity load profiles at building level for city quarters or entire cities are important for planning authorities, project developers, utilities or other stakeholders in order to develop energy saving strategies and meet climate targets. Firstly, this...

This paper describes the air flow analysis and distribution of a radiant cooling system installed in a commercial building. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations using ANSYS were carried out to identify the thermal performance of the radiant cooling system. The calibration of simulated...

Marble is a natural material, used in the construction field since antiquity. It has always been used to communicate monumentality and solidity. Nowadays new technologies permit marble to express new languages: particularly, translucent marble technology overturns the concept of solidity. The...

Lighting accounts for 19% of total U.S. electricity consumption and 6% of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions. Existing technologies, such as compact fluorescent lamps and light emitting diodes, can substitute low-efficiency technologies such as incandescent lamps, while saving energy and...
