Benefits of a translucent building envelope made of DSC-integrated glass blocks
2015
The aim of this paper is to analyse the benefits deriving from the replacement of the glazed façades of an office building located in Palermo (Sicily) with a new translucent BIPV envelope made of multifunctional glass block panels integrated with Dye-sensitized Solar Cells (DSCs). The analysed 11-storey building is cladded by a curtain wall determining high management costs, especially during summer, in order to maintain indoor comfort. After the design of the building envelope and of the components for the connection of the glass block panels with existing load bearing structure, the energy performance of the building, before and after the replacement of its envelope, were analysed with th…
UNA CONFIGURAZIONE SMART HERITAGE PER I CONTESTI EURO-MEDITERRANEI
La ricerca intende proporre una strategia urbana e tecnologica costituita da elementi smart che sviluppino una capacità di progettazione tecnologica integrata su scala urbana ed edilizia, sovrapponendo al disegno della città smart contemporanea quella della valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale attraverso le nuove Tecnologie dell’Informazione e della Comunicazione (TIC). Attraverso la schedatura di alcune esperienze smart di appendici che raccolgono le strategie urbane di recupero più significative e di un glossario finale con i termini ricorrenti nel settore, la Dottoranda propone un punto di vista del modello Smart City che si lega al tema della valorizzazione urbana fornendo a pianific…
Bright Cities and City Information Modeling
2019
The increasing urbanization and above all the increasing demand for more efficiency in energy consumption and in the management of natural resources makes ever more urgent to tackle the construction of buildings and the planning of cities in an innovative and sustainable way. In this perspective, some research lines have emerged referring to the concepts of smart, intelligent, and green/sustainable buildings. Starting from this analysis, the article aims to highlight how it is possible to synthesize both the environmental quality aspects and the integrated control of a building in the concept of bright green buildings, and how thus a wider conceptual reference framework is necessary: identi…
