The Application of Building Physics in the Design of Roof Windows [PDF]

, 2019
This paper deals with a small but important component in a building envelope, namely roof windows in pitched roofs. Building physics methods were used to support the search for new solutions which correspond to the maximum extent for requirements for ...

OPTIMIZATION OF AIR TIGHTNESS IN PASSIVE BUILDINGS – CASE STUDY ON REDUCING THE AIR CHANGE RATE n₅₀ [PDF]

Fiabilitate şi Durabilitate
The paper presents an experimental study on air tightness testing of an energyefficient building, according to the Passivhaus standard. The “blower door” test was carried out before and after the implementation of sealing measures, achieving a reduction

Bridging the domestic building fabric performance gap [PDF]

, 2014
It is recognized that there is often a discrepancy between the measured fabric thermal performance of dwellings as built and the predicted performance of the same dwellings and that the magnitude of this difference in performance can be quite large. This

Post-construction thermal testing: Some recent measurements [PDF]

, 2015
In the UK, it has become apparent in recent years that there is often a discrepancy between the steady-state predicted and the measured in situ thermal performance of the building fabric, with the measured in situ performance being greater than that ...

Analysing the benefits and challenges of retrofitting rural dwellings in Hunan, China to the Passivhaus EnerPHit standard

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
Abstract Chinese rural housing largely consists of uninsulated reinforced-concrete apartment blocks with poor energy performance. These dwellings are structurally sound, costly to demolish and challenging to recycle. Retrofit is, therefore, potentially more worthwhile than new build.

Monitoring IAQ and thermal comfort in a conservation area low energy retrofit [PDF]

, 2018
EnerPHit and low energy retrofitting projects are increasing in adoption to tackle greenhouse gas emissions target in the United Kingdom. While good energy reductions can be achieved, there is a growing concerned of overheating in these low energy ...

Improving the quality management systems for energy-efficient social housing projects [PDF]

, 2016
Developing and implementing quality management systems (QMS) in construction is particularly difficult because of a lack of standardization, the use of transient workforce and the many parties involved. This paper discusses the challenges faced by social

High energy-efficiency buildings [PDF]

, 2003
In cold, central European climates, hyper-insulated, heat-conserving buildings have proven a very effective way to reduce current energy consumption to 1/10 th of a traditional house.

Overview and future challenges of nearly zero energy buildings (nZEB) design in Southern Europe [PDF]

, 2017
In times of great transition of the European construction sector to energy efficient and nearly zero energy buildings (nZEB), a market observation containing qualitative and quantitative indications should help to fill out some of the current gaps ...

Designing for Deconstruction in the context of the Passivhaus Standard [PDF]

This research aims to examine Designing for Deconstruction (DfD)in the context of Passivhaus construction, to highlight potential conflicts in achieving the 'half waste to landfill' and '80% reduction in building energy consumptions by 2050' targets that have been set by the UK government.
