A Study on the Factors Influencing Sunlight in Block Layout: A Case Study of Barcelona Sample

Buildings, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(7), С. 1018 - 1018

Опубликована: Март 22, 2025

Block layout is the main urban pattern in many city centers East and West, this has a long history will continue to develop future. However, there are relatively few studies on quantitative analysis of layout, especially its sunlight impact. This study examines characteristics neighborhood-style layout. A sample small block dense street network that evolved developed based Cerdà’s planned Barcelona was selected. The effects latitude angle between north–south explored level neighborhood space. By using Ladybug plug-in simulate Cerda model, analyzes impacts different geographic latitudes changes daylight levels streets, courtyards, building facades, ground floor elevations. results show significantly affect each part space neighborhood, which provides basis for adaptation analysis. Based simulation results, paper proposes regression model influencing factors adaptive boundary conditions high-density environment arranged by analyzing model. To certain extent, theoretical corresponding reference tightening environmental health requirements layouts composite development.

Optimizing Energy Efficiency: Louver Systems for Sustainable Building Design

Buildings, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(7), С. 1183 - 1183

Опубликована: Апрель 3, 2025

As the global focus on sustainability intensifies, architects and engineers are increasingly seeking innovative passive strategies to improve building energy efficiency. Among these strategies, strategic integration of louvers has garnered significant attention due their potential optimize envelope performance reduce consumption. Louvers effectively manage solar heat gain, mitigating impact extreme temperatures indoor spaces. Consequently, reliance active HVAC systems, leading notable savings a decreased carbon footprint. This paper presents comprehensive review role in enhancing efficiency, highlighting designs, improvement suggestions. Moreover, this article addresses challenges related louver design, such as balancing trade-off between gain daylighting how configurations for specific types. Approaches overcome challenges, including advanced modeling techniques parametric also explored assist designers achieving most energy-efficient outcomes.

A Review of the Key Factors Influencing the Performance of Photovoltaic Installations in an Urban Environment

Electricity, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 6(2), С. 23 - 23

Опубликована: Май 1, 2025

The successful integration of photovoltaic (PV) generators in cities requires careful planning that accounts for possible factors influencing their operation. Numerous authors have extensively studied these factors; however, the urban environment has its unique characteristics. This study aims to conduct a narrative review most common and influential impact operation PV modules explore potential mitigation strategies. Based on preliminary knowledge topic, methodology was proposed according which they are classified into two categories: those enhanced by specific it. A total 97 studies, mostly from last decade, were selected based relevance criteria. Shading, soiling, snow analyzed an context, followed different urban-specific factors, such as landscape, pollution, limitations mounting spots, can lead more than 50% performance losses. performed also identified key promising approaches abovementioned electrostatic dust cleaning forward bias current removal. Furthermore, recommendations landscape made context integration. could be useful designers operators facilities providing them with basic guidelines optimization.
