From Building Archetypes to Data-Driven Definitions: The Impact of Window-to-Wall Granularity on Urban Building Energy Modelling [PDF]
This research investigates how window-to-wall ratio (WWR) granularity affects urban building energy modelling for Positive Energy District planning. We use surface-level WWR data extracted from oblique aerial imagery and compare the resulting simulation ...

The current challenge in zero‐emission buildings lies in aligning renewable energy sources with energy consumption, which needs to be addressed. Excessive mismatch can affect the performance of zero‐emission buildings and the stability of the electricity grid. Energy sharing emerges as a viable solution to optimise energy distribution effectively.

Artificial illumination and heating constitute the majority of the building’s energy usage. Buildings account for 40% of worldwide energy use. Building‐integrated concentrated photovoltaic systems represent an innovative technology. Concentrated sunlight enhances the quantity of solar radiation that reaches photovoltaic cells. This project involves the

In the context of climate change, the increase in frequency and intensity of heat waves, as well as air pollution, poses a challenge for environmental conditioning in buildings. This fact is of concern in schools given the special vulnerability of their occupants and the frequent energy‐environmental gap of these buildings in southern Spain.
