ENERGY RETROFIT AND SUSTAINIBILITY. SOCIAL HOUSING ESTATE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE

2013

In the last years the global attention has increasingly been focusing on climate change and on the depletion of non-renewable energy sources. Recent analyses estimate that the building sector, with construction and activities that allow its normal functioning, is responsible for 50% of global CO2 emissions. In contemporary urban areas, post-war housing estates represent a great percentage of the whole building sector and the amount of new housing produced in EU each year is equivalent to 1% of the whole building stock, which indicates the importance of focusing the attention on the recovery of existing buildings and the optimization of their energetic performances. The paper will show the f…

The use of vegetation for social housing renovations: A case study in the City of Palermo

2013

The paper shows the first results of a research carried out at the University of Palermo, which aims to indentify sustainable strategies for the renovation of social housing in the Mediterranean Basin, with focus on the use of vegetation as strategy for the enhancement of urban microclimate and thermal comfort. To achieve these goals the social housing complex of Medaglie d’Oro in the city of Palermo was chosen as case study in order to carry out some analyses for the assessment of outdoor comfort parameters of the area. By means of numerical simulations performed with the software ENVI-met, the actual state of the area was evaluated and four scenarios of renovation strategies through the i…

Pilsētas mikroklimatisko iezīmju mainības temporālais un telpiskais novērtējums izmantojot modelēšanas metodi

2019

Saskaņā ar jaunākajiem pētījumiem par klimata pārmaiņām Eiropā, tiek prognozēts gaisa temperatūras pieaugums. Paredzams, ka augstākas vasaras temperatūras lielā mērā ietekmēs cilvēku dzīves kvalitāti pilsētās, kā arī palielinās pieprasījumu pēc atveldzēšanās iespējām. Attīstoties urbanizācijai, pilsētu teritorijas kļūst par kompleksām tīklu sistēmām ar specifisku struktūru, kā arī palielinās cilvēku aktivitāte. Vides izmaiņas un attīstība vienmēr ietekmē mikroklimatu. Savukārt mikroklimata izmaiņas var dažādi ietekmēt vidi un iedzīvotājus, piemēram, ietekme uz veselību, palielināts enerģijas patēriņš ēkās, mainās izpratne par veģetācijas un ainavu dizainu. Lai izprastu pilsētas mikroklimatu…
