Advancements in residential net-zero energy buildings (NZEBs) could significantly reduce
energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. NZEB design considerations broadly …

There are many pathways of incorporating energy conservation in buildings through
refurbishment projects. An integrated assessment-optimization framework is presented to …

Abstract Building Energy Modelling (BEM) applied to historical buildings is rising as a non-
invasive and useful means to improve their energy and environmental performance by …

The complexity of the built environment requires the adoption of coupled techniques to
predict the flow phenomena and provide optimum design solutions. In this study, coupled …

Recent studies underline that simple and non-invasive retrofit solutions can recover natural
ventilation potential in existing buildings under temperate climate. Nonetheless, the …

A significant share of the total primary energy belongs to buildings. In many buildings,
improving energy performance of buildings is of particular importance in new construction …
