The main objective of this book is to evaluate alternative energy
systems in buildings regardless of their location and climatic
conditions. To do so, evaluations have been conducted in temperate
and marine weather conditions in developed countries like Germany;
in a semiarid climate in Spain; and in a humid subtropical climate
in Brazil. Over the past few years, the use of passive cooling and
heating technologies has become more common for reducing the energy
consumption of buildings. However, these technologies are not often
used for some building systems. Buildings intended for children or
the elderly are often climatized to improve indoor thermal
conditions. In this book, a cost reduction in climatization based
on passive systems is proposed and studied. Building site
optimisation is performed to improve thermal behavior. To achieve
this, computational fluid dynamics tools have been used. The
integration of these passive systems allows the peak power demand
to be reduced by up to 50% and the yearly energy consumption to be
reduced by approximately 40%. These reductions are studied for
conventional and renewable energy systems, showing that passive
systems provide better thermal comfort and reduce initial
investment and energy consumption, making low-cost buildings
feasible.
