The present work shows an adaptive thermal comfort modelling suitable for the main four
climatic regions of Mexico, for cooling and heating seasons and for both air-conditioned and …

The paper discusses the results of a field study carried out in four cities in Mexico:
Hermosillo, Mexicali, Merida and Colima, during the warmest seasons of 2006-2007. The …

Por su tecnología constructiva, las fachadas verdes influyen positivamente en la
sostenibilidad de los edificios y en el ahorro energético, pues disminuyen el efecto de …

Weather data and a building model play a key role in predicting the environmental
performance of buildings. While methods and parameters are broadly discussed, weather …

The improvement of energy efficiency in buildings is a key element in the combat against
global warming. For this reason the use of passive and low energy consumption strategies …

Natural ventilation in extreme environments is often ignored during the design phase due to
the hot or cold climate. The reliance has therefore shifted to mechanical systems which …
