Sensitivity study of an opaque ventilated façade in the winter season in different climate zones in Spain
(Elsevier, 2015)Energy efficient buildings need to take advantage of any renewable energy available. An opaque ventilated façade (OVF) is a kind of façade that absorbs solar energy and transfers it to the ventilation system. This way, the ... -
Energy saving potential of a hybrid HVAC system with a desiccant wheel activated at low temperatures and an indirect evaporative cooler in handling air in buildings with high latent loads
(Elsevier, 2018)Air handling in buildings with high latent loads usually requires a high-energy cost to satisfy the user’s thermal comfort needs. Hybrid systems composed of desiccant wheels, DW, and indirect evaporative coolers, IEC, could ... -
Experimental study of a modular Unglazed transpired collector Façade for building refurbishment
(Elsevier, 2020)The use of renewable energy sources available for buildings to reduce energy consumption and emissions has become extremely important over the last few decades. Unglazed transpired collector (UTC) façades absorb solar ... -
First and second order simplified models for the performance evaluation of low temperature activated desiccant wheels
(Elsevier, 2016)Hybrid systems with a desiccant wheel, DW, are an alternative to heating, ventilation and air conditioning, HVAC, commonly used systems for dehumidification and humidity control in rooms with high latent loads. Currently, ... -
Performance of an unglazed transpire collector in the facade of a building for heating and cooling in combination with a desiccant evaporative cooler
(Elsevier, 2018)Refurbishment of energy inefficient buildings is an effective way of reducing energy consumption in urban areas. This can be done by taking advantage of the renewable energy sources available, mainly, solar energy. Desiccant ...
