Abstract

To date, the focus in the field of sustainable building has been on new building design. However, existing residential buildings inflict great environmental burden through three causes: continuous energy consumption, regular building maintenance and replacements. This publication analyses and compares these three causes of environmental burden and shows that material resources needed for replacements generally have a limited potential to reduce environmental impact. Reducing energy consumption for climate control and electrical appliances is much more effective. According to the author, sustain

Abstract

Das Praxis-Handbuch zu einer aktuellen Bauaufgabe Die Aufstockung von Gebäuden ist eine geeignete zeitgemäße Maßnahme zur Nachverdichtung bestehender Bebauungsstrukturen und zur energetischen Sanierung einzelner Gebäude. Beim Aufrichten zusätzlicher Geschosse belastet das Baumaterial Holz mit seinem geringen Eigengewicht die gebaute Struktur beträchtlich weniger als ein Massivbau. Weitere Vorteile der Holzbauweise sind die weitgehende Vorfertigung, die Energieeffizienz und das optimale Verhältnis von umbautem Raum. In praxisnaher Darstellung erläutert "Aufstocken mit Holz" die bautechnischen, energetischen, feuerpolizeilichen und ökologischen Aspekte. Anhand von 33 Einfamilienhäusern, Wohnbauten und Verwaltungsgebäuden aus der Schweiz, Deutschland und Österreich zeigt es außerdem, wie modern und elegant solche Aufbauten sein können.

Abstract

This book investigates energy use and measures to improve the energy efficiency of public housing, using post-war social housing development estates in Cyprus as its example. On this Mediterranean island, which experiences hot and humid temperatures throughout the year, residential buildings need to adapt to the climate to improve the thermal comfort of their occupants. The book assesses the domestic energy use of inefficiently built residential tower blocks and their occupants’ thermal comfort by considering the significant impact of overheating risks on energy consumption and occupants’ thermal comfort and well-being, with the intention of evaluating the current energy performance of base-case representative residential tower blocks (RTBs). In particular, considering the cooling energy demand in the summer, using Famagusta, Cyprus as a case study. It seeks to identify the impact of occupancy patterns and habitual adaptive behaviour of households on home energy performance in order to provide bases for the information needed to calibrate building energy performance of targeted households.

Abstract

El diseño y construcción de una vivienda es, por antonomasia, el objetivo primordial de la arquitectura y usualmente se convierte en el principal ejercicio académico y profesional de quienes están involucrados con el tema constructivo. La vivienda es, además una de las principales necesidades por cubrir para garantizar la supervivencia de la especie humana y en consecuencia el hombre ha buscado constantemente cómo mejorar las condiciones de confort que ella le debe proveer.Con base en el antecedente de algunas labores humanitarias desarrolladas por la oficina de Pastoral Universitaria de la Universidad de San Buenaventura Cali para solventar las necesidades básicas de una familia de bajos recursos, un grupo interdisciplinario de docentes se propuso hacer su aporte por medio de una investigación alrededor del ámbito de la vivienda de bajo costo, desarrollando un ejercicio académico que permitiera aunar esfuerzos y conocimientos en torno a una propuesta de vivienda, la cual unida a la problemática de nuestros días acerca de las sostenibilidad y economía en el consumo energético, contribuyera en la búsqueda de soluciones constructivas coherentes con la realidad social, económica y ambiental de la población colombiana de bajos recursos, que desde mucho tiempo atrás reclama propuestas encaminadas a solventar con calidad esta necesidad básica.
