Glasgow City (55 51'N, 04 12'W) is situated in an area which is characterised by a Cfb temperate climate type, according to Koeppen-Geiger’s climate classification, being especially smooth due to strong maritime influences. The significant precipitati...

The day of interest for the simulation was chosen based on the sky conditions (Weather Underground. SR GRAPH - IGLASGOW1 2012), clear sky. July 27th 2011, the actual day when concurrent field data was collected (not discussed in this paper), was part...

The detail of the region (Figure 3) closest to Glasgow School of Art allows us to observe the points (i.e. yx, yz, ..., xx etc) inside the model area, the receptors, where processes in the atmosphere and the soil can be monitored in detail. They were ...

A detailed image (Figure 5) allows us to observe the immediate surroundings of the GSA in 3D.

158

Although significant temperature changes in all the positions of the receptors indicated in Figure 3 have not been found, in part of them a slight difference was observed, e.g. at positions xx, xy, xz and zw. The results shown in Figure 6 were obtaine...

One of the test cases used to validate BENIMPACT Suite energy performance evaluations an interesting Italian ZEB, finished in 2010 and called CasaZeroEnergy. It is located in Felettano (UD-Italy), a small town in the North-East.

163

This building is an experimental house designed and monitored by the Laboratory of Building Design of the University of Trento (Italy) and built by Polo Le Ville Plus Group (Cassacco-Italy). Energy performance of this building was modeled and evaluate...

Introduction 177

Energy usage of households accounts for a significant portion of total energy consumption and CO2 emissions. It is therefore a critical task to efficiently manage and minimise energy usage in housing in order to meet carbon dioxide (CO2) emission redu...

177

Various factors play a part in energy consumption in households, for example, home characteristics, components and equipments installed in homes (e.g. devices for heating, cooling, cleaning and lighting) to maintain the comfort of homes, occupants’ be...

177

This paper focuses on investigating the relationship between human behaviour and energy consumption through analysing the energy usage from selected Scottishhomes equipped with a gas-electricity-water usage monitor and indoor temperature, relative hum...
