Abstract

As part of the energy transition and global environmental problems, improving the energy efficiency of buildings has become an imperative aspect for the architecture, engineering and construction industries. Furthermore, the energy performance of a building depends directly on the quality of its thermal envelope and the insulation material applied. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to assess by means of simulations the impact of ecological insulation materials on thermal comfort and energy efficiency in the case of a residential building in a Mediterranean climate. The results of the simulation show that optimising envelope design parameters can reduce annual energy loads for heating and for cooling. The most efficient strategies for achieving this reduction involve the use of ecological thermal insulation of external walls, optimising glazing settings and use of efficient shading devices.

利用天然纤维保温材料提高建筑的能源效率和热舒适性
作为能源转型和全球环境问题的一部分,提高建筑物的能源效率已成为建筑、工程和建筑行业的一个重要方面。此外,建筑的能源性能直接取决于其隔热层和保温材料的质量。因此,本研究的主要目的是通过模拟来评估生态保温材料对地中海气候下住宅建筑的热舒适和能源效率的影响。仿真结果表明,优化围护结构设计参数可以减少供暖和制冷的年能量负荷。实现这种减少的最有效策略包括使用外墙的生态隔热,优化玻璃设置和使用有效的遮阳设备。

期刊介绍: Engineering Sustainability provides a forum for sharing the latest thinking from research and practice, and increasingly is presenting the ''how to'' of engineering a resilient future. The journal features refereed papers and shorter articles relating to the pursuit and implementation of sustainability principles through engineering planning, design and application. The tensions between and integration of social, economic and environmental considerations within such schemes are of particular relevance. Methodologies for assessing sustainability, policy issues, education and corporate responsibility will also be included. The aims will be met primarily by providing papers and briefing notes (including case histories and best practice guidance) of use to decision-makers, practitioners, researchers and students.
