Thermal Environments of Residential Areas: Sunlight and Building Shadow in a Chinese City with Hot and Humid Summers

Buildings
With a primary focus on sunlight and building shadows, we studied the impact of residential building orientation angles, building heights, and area combinations, as well as the underlying surface materials, on the outdoor thermal environment in Changsha,

Estimation of the Heat Loss Coefficient of Two Occupied Residential Buildings through an Average Method

Energies, 2020
The existing performance gap between the design and the real energy consumption of a building could have three main origins: the occupants’ behaviour, the performance of the energy systems and the performance of the building envelope.

Study on Relationship between Shading and Outdoor Air Temperature Based on the Comparison of Two High-Rise Residential Estates with Field Measurements

Buildings, 2022
High-rise residential estates are characterized by high floor area ratios, many floors, and similar green area ratios. Beijing is hot in summer, and shading is an important strategy to improve the outdoor thermal environment of residential estates in ...

Inferring the number of floors for residential buildings

International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2022
Data on the number of floors is required for several applications, for instance, energy demand estimation, population estimation, and flood response plans. Despite this, open data on the number of floors is very rare, even when a 3D city model is available.

The Role of Hydrogen in German Residential Buildings

Energy and Buildings, 2021
As fossil-fueled heating in the building sector is responsible for 16 % of Germanys total CO2 emissions, it is of great importance to use climate-neutral alternatives for the decarbonization of this sector. Options for the climate-neutral heating of buildings include electricity or hydrogen as energy carriers, both explicitly considered by German ...
