This study aims at providing an accurate description of the thermal behaviour of solar shading devices in order to develop a simple modeling which can be integrated in a thermal simulation platform. A 1D model is developed by considering precisely the radiative exchanges in short and long wavelengths, and by integrating ascending laminar flow which...

A real-scale Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage (LHTES) device has been designed and set up for air-cooling in the housing sector. This system uses the thermal gap between night-time and daytime outdoor air to refresh the indoor air. The air passes along a box-section horizontal tube bundle filled with paraffin wax (Phase Change Material). To devel...
The air conditioning market is in constant growth, which can lead to peak loads in electricity grids during summertime. To overcome such problems, Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage (LHTES) systems can be used for summer comfort in lightweight buildings. These systems consume little energy by using the temperature gap between daytime and night-time...
The building sector currently represents 40% of energy consumption worldwide. This, combined with the characteristic long service lifespan of buildings, means that building design decisions have long lasting and multidimensional impacts on both society and the natural environment. As a result, there has been a growing interest in the assessment of...

This investigation aims at providing an efficient description of solar shading devices behaviour which can be integrated into modelling platforms currently on the market. A 1D model is developed by considering precisely the radiative exchanges in short and long wavelengths, and integrating ascending laminar flow which takes place between the shadin...
In order to consider largely sustainable development issues, two adjoining apartments in Taillan-Medoc, social housing buildings of the urban development zone of Arrousets, and an energy-plus-house, called Napevomo (Solar Decathlon Madrid 2010), have been developed with a global reflection of life cycle assessment. The massive use of wood ensued fr...
