Overheating and daylighting in commercial buildings

De Herde, A.; Nihoul, A. - In: Renewable Energy 5 (1994) 5, pp. 917-919

The main purposes to be pursued in the climatic conception of commercial buildings are to reduce heat loads, to allow good exploitation of natural light and ventilation in order to be able to avoid or reduce the use of air-conditionning. The cooling and daylighting strategies are privileged, as...

Developing a probabilistic tool for assessing the risk of overheating in buildings for future climates

Jenkins, David P.; Patidar, Sandhya; Banfill, Phil; … - In: Renewable Energy 61 (2014) C, pp. 7-11

The effect of projected climate change on building performance is currently a growing research area. Building designers and architects are becoming more concerned that buildings designed for the current climate might not provide adequate working and living environments in the coming decades....
