Bioclimatic performance of two different building envelopes in a cold/temperate climate
Ness, Maria Coral Albelda-Estellés (Journal article, 2024)Adaptation and mitigation for climate change are fundamental to ensure a viable future, both for the planet and for the people. More specifically, increasing sustainability in the built environment would have a significant ... -
Building Bioclimatic Design in cold climate office buildings
Ness, Maria Coral Albelda-Estellés; Andresen, Inger; Kleiven, Tommy (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Building Bioclimatic Design (BBCD) understands architecture as a filter between outdoor climate and indoor comfort. This way, it encourages the exploitation of freely available climatic resources, before adding any HVAC ... -
Building performance simulation of an office building without conventional mechanical systems in cold/temperate climate
Ness, Maria Coral Albelda-Estellés (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study is part of a project to revise the methodology for bioclimatic building design to improve its usability within cold climate architecture.This paper aims to study the impact that the choice of building performance ... -
How can we contribute to solving the sustainability puzzle with bioclimatic architecture?
Ness, Maria Coral Albelda-Estellés (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Bioclimatic architecture enables a symbiotic relationship between people, nature and our built environment. By focusing on the integration of freely available natural forces and materials, it promotes energy and resource ... -
Indoor relative humidity: relevance for health, comfort, and choice of ventilation system
Ness, Maria Coral Albelda-Estellés (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)It is generally recommended to keep the values of relative humidity (RH) indoors between 40 and 60% for comfort and health. However, the environment in our homes and offices is a lot dryer in the winter, going down to 20% ...
