A new Energy code for office buildings in Israel, currently under development, is presented. This code is based on a prescriptive approach, which can be easily applied as a tool for the design of office buildings through all the design stages including the early ones. The prescriptive approach...

Energy demand depends on outdoor temperature in a ‘u’ shaped fashion. Various studies have used this temperature dependence to investigate the effects of climate change on energy demand. Such studies contain implicit or explicit assumptions to describe expected socio-economic changes that...

A simple model is presented, which enables the calculation of ventilation in a commercial rose-growing greenhouse (greenhouse). The model represents the greenhouse as three vertically stacked horizontal segments and addresses the energy and vapor transfer among these segments and between them...
