Some aspects of the energy cost linked to the IAQ. Impact of free-cooling and heat recovery in office buildings.
(1997)
Increasing air exchange rate to improve IAQ may increase energy consumption, but this increase may be compensated for by strategies such as free cooling and heat recovery. The frame of the proposed paper is the examination ...
Article
Extending the concept of high-performance buildings to existing dwellings
(Elsevier, 2023-10)
The ongoing energy crisis in Europe is highlighting the role of the building sector in energy consumption, particularly in countries like Spain, where 90.4% of existing dwellings lack thermal efficiency. Encouraging ...
