Optimizing Ventilation Strategies for Thermal Comfort in Mediterranean Schools: A Dynamic Modeling Approach

Energies, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 18(6), P. 1542 - 1542

Published: March 20, 2025

Schools, key symbols of progress and innovation, require particular attention regarding energy efficiency, which is considered a strategic priority in sustainable development policies. Improving efficiency schools reduces costs environmental impact while educating students the community about sustainability. Ensuring good air quality thermal comfort also crucial for student well-being performance, resulting improved productivity, health, concentration. This study shows that proper ventilation can maintain by exploiting heat loads generated environment equipment. Yearly hourly analyses were conducted terms internal operative temperature on simplified school prototype located Mediterranean city following UNI EN ISO 52016 standard. Thermal was evaluated accordance with 16798-1 standard tested different exchange rates. The results showed heating system would typically operate 1000 h per year, excluding holiday periods when teaching activities are suspended. With implementation suitable system, however, need could be removed.

Integrated urban regeneration for high-rise multi-family buildings by providing a multidimensional assessment model and decision support system

Journal of Building Engineering, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 76, P. 107359 - 107359

Published: July 17, 2023

Current urban challenges on promoting an integrated regeneration demand new decision support systems to adjust and optimise renovation strategies in the housing stock. This research aims provide a multidimensional system, specifically focused high-rise multi-family buildings, which entails added complexity design decision-making stages of building renovation. The need promote assessment protocols key parameters that viable efficient buildings constitutes gap be fulfilled this study. contributes with weighting model based 12 indicators, both during after works, under 4 multidisciplinary dimensions: Technical; Social; Economic; Environmental, -5 5 drawback-benefit index scale.

Evaluating the effect of passive cooling strategies in school buildings on children's well-being in Barcelona: A quasi-experimental, mixed methods study

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 949, P. 175104 - 175104

Published: July 28, 2024

Passive cooling strategies were implemented in 11 school buildings Barcelona within a pilot project to improve thermal conditions. The present study aimed evaluate the intervention's impact on students' comfort and well-being at school. A quasi-experimental pre-post based mixed methods was conducted. Quantitative data collected through self-reported questionnaires administrated sixth-grade students 21 schools (11 an intervention group, IG, 10 comparison CG). authors measured changes satisfaction with indoor temperature air quality (IAQ), presence of bothering factors (temperature too high, low, unpleasant odours, lighting problems), performance. Difference-in-difference analysis conducted differences between IG CG changes. Qualitative photovoice-based sessions (59 sixth grade students) interviews (7 teachers) IG. thematic content identified three main categories: perceptions environmental conditions, environment-related health well-being, environment their reported learning. findings show positive among perceived temperature, quality, school, while suggest no significant problems, performance, relation CG. Compared CG, perceiving high significantly decreased girls, odours only boys. In qualitative assessment, participants that transformations improved visual comfort, IAQ, odours. Participants also reduction fatigue, stress, irritability, stifling sensation, as well enhanced concentration. This highlights benefits passive design for student's Mediterranean climates suggests need extend these interventions other similar contexts.
