Dataset of temperature and relative humidity for a TMY in Colombia updated to 2021
TMY stands for "typical meteorological year" and is a widely used type of data available through the NSRDB: https://nsrdb.nrel.gov/data-sets/tmy In this dataset, TMYs of Colombia contain one year of hourly data that best represents median weather conditions over a multiyear period. To calculate a TMY, a multiyear data set is analyzed, and 12 months...
A methodological approach to evaluate the passive cooling effect of Oasis palm groves
peer reviewed / With climate change and the recurring heat waves in arid lands, human well-being and activities in oasis settlements can be critical subjects for the ongoing years. This paper introduces a methodological approach to investigate the potential passive cooling effect inside the oasis palm groves, their spatial characteristics, and micr...
Cross views on a Neolithic Building occupations levels in the Southern Caucasus: field observations and micro morphologi...
De récentes études sur le sud Caucase se sont intéressées à l’architecture des structures néolithiques à l’échelle macroscopique (Baudouin, 2019 ; Nishiaki et al., 2021 ; Badalyan et al., 2022) ou microscopique (Bellat et al., 2023). Or, malgré des descriptions et des enregistrements minutieux des structures lors de la fouille, le remplissage de ce...
A Multidisciplinary Design Education Facing Climate Change
editorial reviewed / To deal with global challenges we face such as climate change, the New European Bauhaus vision depends on educated and empowered citizens. According to this initiative, architecture and urban planning are only effective when a multidisciplinary approach is applied. This is even more important when integrating sustainability int...
Digital life cycle management of architectural components through BIM-based Material Passports to improve circularity
Dans un contexte environnemental en crise, le secteur de la construction est un important consommateur de matières premières et producteur de déchets. Il fait donc l’objet de diverses études et actions visant à le faire entrer dans une démarche d’économie circulaire (EC). Dans ce contexte, les informations en lien avec les matériaux de construction...
Comparative assessment of night ventilation performance in a nearly zero-energy office building during heat waves in Bru...
peer reviewed / With increasing urbanization, overheating intensifies, resulting in a greater risk of indoor overheating in commercial buildings, which already have high internal gains. The impact of urban climate on the cooling energy needs of buildings has been extensively researched. However, the building performance during extreme heat events n...
Ai University Berlin: A place for collaboration in AI with AI
The project attempts to address the types of spaces needed to guide the AI revolution constructively. Currently, an AI revolution is unfolding, as reported in newspapers, broadcasted on the news, and discussed on the radio. Socially, it’s a significant topic, as many users are unaware of what AI is and its functions. This underscores the importance...
Dynamic discharging performance of a latent heat thermal energy storage system based on a PID controller
peer reviewed / A PID controller is introduced into a latent heat thermal energy storage unit to compose a coupling system to control the discharging performance. The outlet temperature of the working fluid can be precisely regulated by means of its inlet velocity variation based on the PID controller. The theoretical model is built by combining he...
Building energy performance simulation model for a nearly zero-energy nursing home in Belgium
A building energy performance simulation model for a nearly zero-energy nursing home in Kain, Belgium, is developed using DesignBuilder and EnergyPlus. The building is located in Kain (50°38'12.04"N, 3°22'50.47"E, 193m), part of the city of Tournai in Belgium, which has a mild oceanic climate. The total area is 8000 m². This building includes 114 r...
