Green building and sustainable architecture are new techniques for addressing the
environmental and energy crises. Trombe walls are regarded as a sustainable architectural …

Abstract The use of Opaque Ventilated Façades (OVF) has considerably increased in
recently years as an envelope solution in a variety of building types, climates, and design …

This paper presents a thermal simulation validation study of the typical precision that a
trained thermal simulation engineer can expect to obtain for the simulation of a room …

Nowadays, energy simulation in many respects assists researchers and engineers in the
design phase, as well as in the buildings operational phase. Reliability of the integrated …

Nowadays, there is continuing worrying about energy efficiency and the reduction of GHG
emissions in the building sector. It has been claimed that ventilated building envelopes help …

In order to take advantage of the local climate many passive solar design techniques were
applied to reduce buildings energy demands. In term of reducing heating demands, the …

Cladding systems have become an attractive solution in energy renovation of existing
buildings since they combine multiple benefits. In such systems, the use of a metallic frame …

Natural ventilation is a convenient way of reducing energy consumption in buildings. In this
study an experimental module of an opaque ventilated façade (OVF) was built and tested for …

A model for a building with ventilated façade was created using the software tool TRNSYS,
version 17, and airflow parameters were simulated using TRNFlow. The results obtained …

Advanced building envelope systems can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions and improve the energy flexibility of buildings while maintaining high levels of …
