Healthy and energy efficient buildings
Author: Sunil K. Sansaniwal
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832541119
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
This Research Topic on 'Healthy and Energy Efficient Buildings' focuses on the emerging need for sustainable and healthy indoor environments. The built environment contributes significantly to energy consumption and environmental degradation, leading to adverse effects on human health and well-being. Therefore, this Research Topic aims to bring together cutting-edge research that addresses the complex interplay between building energy efficiency and occupant health. The scope of the Research Topic covers topics such as energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, sustainable energy, health and well-being, building codes and standards, energy management and green building practices. The ultimate goal of the Research Topic is to promote sustainable building practices and enhance the well-being of building occupants while reducing the environmental impact of buildings. While energy efficiency has become a top priority in building design, there has been less emphasis on creating indoor environments that are conducive to good health. To achieve the goal of this Research Topic, recent advances in building design, construction, and operation must be incorporated. These include the use of advanced materials and technologies, such as smart sensors and automation systems that can monitor and control indoor air quality, temperature, and lighting levels to create optimal indoor conditions for occupants. Additionally, the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, can help reduce the carbon footprint of buildings. In order to promote healthy buildings, there is a need for more research on the impact of building design and materials on indoor air quality and occupant health. This includes exploring the use of natural ventilation and passive cooling strategies, as well as the use of low-emitting materials and finishes that do not off-gas harmful chemicals. This Research Topic seeks to address the need for sustainable buildings that prioritize both energy efficiency and occupant health.

Building Performance Simulation for Design and Operation
Author: Jan L.M. Hensen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134026358
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 538
Book Description
Effective building performance simulation can reduce the environmental impact of the built environment, improve indoor quality and productivity, and facilitate future innovation and technological progress in construction. It draws on many disciplines, including physics, mathematics, material science, biophysics and human behavioural, environmental and computational sciences. The discipline itself is continuously evolving and maturing, and improvements in model robustness and fidelity are constantly being made. This has sparked a new agenda focusing on the effectiveness of simulation in building life-cycle processes. Building Performance Simulation for Design and Operation begins with an introduction to the concepts of performance indicators and targets, followed by a discussion on the role of building simulation in performance-based building design and operation. This sets the ground for in-depth discussion of performance prediction for energy demand, indoor environmental quality (including thermal, visual, indoor air quality and moisture phenomena), HVAC and renewable system performance, urban level modelling, building operational optimization and automation. Produced in cooperation with the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA), and featuring contributions from fourteen internationally recognised experts in this field, this book provides a unique and comprehensive overview of building performance simulation for the complete building life-cycle from conception to demolition. It is primarily intended for advanced students in building services engineering, and in architectural, environmental or mechanical engineering; and will be useful for building and systems designers and operators.

Building Performance Simulation for Design and Operation
Author: Jan L.M. Hensen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429688539
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 922
Book Description
When used appropriately, building performance simulation has the potential to reduce the environmental impact of the built environment, to improve indoor quality and productivity, as well as to facilitate future innovation and technological progress in construction. Since publication of the first edition of Building Performance Simulation for Design and Operation, the discussion has shifted from a focus on software features to a new agenda, which centres on the effectiveness of building performance simulation in building life cycle processes. This new edition provides a unique and comprehensive overview of building performance simulation for the complete building life cycle from conception to demolition, and from a single building to district level. It contains new chapters on building information modelling, occupant behaviour modelling, urban physics modelling, urban building energy modelling and renewable energy systems modelling. This new edition keeps the same chapter structure throughout including learning objectives, chapter summaries and assignments. Moreover, the book: • Provides unique insights into the techniques of building performance modelling and simulation and their application to performance-based design and operation of buildings and the systems which service them. • Provides readers with the essential concepts of computational support of performance-based design and operation. • Provides examples of how to use building simulation techniques for practical design, management and operation, their limitations and future direction. It is primarily intended for building and systems designers and operators, and postgraduate architectural, environmental or mechanical engineering students.
