Daylighting Performance of Solar Control Films for Hospital Buildings in a Mediterranean Climate
(MDPI, 2019-02)
One of the main retrofitting strategies in warm climates is the reduction of the effects of solar radiation. Cooling loads, and in turn, cooling consumption, can be reduced through the implementation of reflective materials ...

Climate change mitigation: thermal comfort improvement in Mediterranean social dwellings through dynamic test cells modelling
(Springer, 2022)
Global warming will lead to adverse consequences for human health and well-being. This research ought to determine whether passive low-cost strategies freely controlled by users (ventilation strategies, solar shadings or ...
Artículo
Indoor Air Quality Assessment: Comparison of Ventilation Scenarios for Retrofitting Classrooms in a Hot Climate
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2019-12)
Current energy e ciency policies in buildings foster the promotion of energy retrofitting of the existing stock. In southern Spain, the most extensive public sector is that of educational buildings, which is especially ...
Artículo
Household energy vulnerability evaluation in southern Spain through parametric energy simulation models and socio-economic data
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
When proposing the most suitable strategies for retrofitting the residential stock it is essential to consider energy vulnerability, the current state of stock, users’ economic capacity and climate. This work analyses ...
