In developing countries with a large population and fast urbanization, High-rise Residential Buildings (HRBs) have unavoidably become a very common, if not the most, accommodation solution. The paradigm of HRB energy consumption is …
The subject case is complicated because the evaporative air cooler and the desiccant-enhanced air cooler can have a consistent and well-defined cooling capacity. On the other side, the solar ...
Increasing urban populations, scarcity of urban land, depletion in resources and severe impact of urban development on sustainability are critical contemporary issues. Such issues have vast implications on the desirability of compact, high-rise high-dense ...
Solar chimneys (SCs) are effective in inducing natural ventilation. However, extending SCs from low-rise to high-rise buildings causes non-uniform flowrate distribution among storeys, where the flowrates on the lower storeys can be 300 % higher than those on the ...
Request PDF | Analyzing passive solar strategies in the case of high-rise building | Nowadays, societies are not able to live without energy. After 1970׳s energy crises, energy has ...
A 40-storey building is examined with energy use 153.8 kWh/m 2 for residential area. Energy model uses EnergyPlus software with sensitivity analyses tool jEPlus. • Behaviours have largest impact on energy use, then building services and renewables. • Building
Introduction. Buildings currently account for over one-third of the world''s final energy consumption and approximately 28% of global CO 2 emissions. 1 Urban buildings comprise the majority of energy consumption and emissions, and urban areas have been predicted to encompass 70% of the world''s population by the middle of this …
This paper aims to explore the multiple factors that influence energy …
High-rise buildings have a significant impact on the surrounding environment. Building-integrated solar water heating (SWH) systems are effective ways to use renewable energy in buildings. …
High-rise Residential Buildings (HRBs) are products of fast …
In order to evaluate high-rise buildings in terms of solar energy use, the author analyzes the case studies from both passive solar strategies and active solar technologies'' aspects. In the first phase; direct solar gain, indirect solar gain, isolated solar gain, thermal storage mass and passive cooling as a meaningful factor to obtain ...
With the development of energy-saving and emission-reduction, solar energy as a clean energy with excellent characteristics has bright prospects for development and application in residential environment with high energy consumption. With the intensification of land use, there are more and more high-rise residential areas …
Solar design in contemporary architecture is rooted in the profession''s sustainable turn. The relationship between architecture and energy is tied to both passive strategies and performance via ...
The UK has seen a rapid increase in high-rise living, despite concerns about a Brexit-related slowdown affecting the residential market. It is estimated that London has 541 towers in the pipeline, 90% of …
Then, the basic data of the 96 high-rise residential clusters, comprised …
Figure 3: Comparison of the thickness of various materials required to achieve R20 (RSI3.5). Thermal Bridging. Heat flow deviates from one-dimensional at corners, parapets, intersections between different assemblies, etc. When heat flows at a much higher rate through one part of an assembly than another, the term thermal bridge is used to reflect …
Retrofitting buildings to achieve improved levels of energy performance is a key strategy in the transition to a low-/net zero carbon future. In China, there has been an enormous growth in residential construction in recent decades in response to the country''s economic development and population growth. However, although these buildings are …
A high-rise residential building of 30 floors is constructed with a typical floor layout of the New Harmony One design from the public rental housing in Hong Kong. It is reported that about 30% of the population in Hong Kong live in the public rental housing which widely adopts this standard design plan in new developments [26] .
Solar design encompassed ideas of light and passive approaches, and more recently, to operational and structural embodied energy. Creating energy-efficient buildings has increasingly become a ...
Solar power on high rise buildings. High rise buildings consume a large amount of energy because potable & Non-potable water that have to be pumped to the highest occupied floors, mechanically ventilated design makes elevators generally used instead of stairs and many lights are used during day times also in rooms, corridors etc, …
In fact, Hong Kong is home to more skyscrapers than anywhere else.While many are impressive feats of construction and have become iconic features of the skyline, the city''s 42,000 buildings ...
Residential buildings instigate a vital role in creating a safe and comfortable indoor living environment. The phenomenon of overheating, an impact of climate change, can cause a negative effect on residents'' productiveness and heat-related illnesses and can even force high pressure on electricity generation by increasing the risk of power …
High-rise residential buildings are known as higher-risk buildings under the Building Safety Act 2022. They have at least: 7 storeys or are at least 18 metres high
accurate a model for high-rise buildings as for low or middle rise buildings. Thus, with the increasing number of megacities that contain many high-rise buildings (Guedes and Cantuária 2017), it is crucial to fully understand the energy-use profiles of high-rise
