Thermal comfort and indoor air quality (IAQ) issues have gained
significant interest in the scientific and technical community
involved in building performance analysis and other related
subjects. In terms of thermal comfort, the achievement and
maintenance of a thermally acceptable indoor environment is
affected by energy costs, and energy poverty is a widespread
problem globally. There is a call for energy-efficient architecture
for a developed and sustainable world. However, with the use of
renewable energy that increased considerably in recent years, new
technical challenges arose for the energy sector. Consumers are key
players in this context, as flexibility in demand is crucial to
cope with the intermittent nature of most renewable energy sources.
Active demand-side participation is particularly important to
ensure the efficient use of locally and globally available energy.
Sustainability, human comfort, and healthy living environments have
become top priorities. Advancements in Sustainable Architecture and
Energy Efficiency explores how housing is a key health factor for
individuals and looks at factors such as air quality, ventilation,
hygrothermal comfort, lighting, physical environment, building
efficiency, and other areas as important pieces in healthy
architecture. It discusses how the poor application of these
parameters can directly affect human health and how sustainable
architecture provides a solution. Beyond just labeling the
important facets of architecture for healthy living, this book will
look at different perspectives of energy consumption and demand to
ensure sustainable energy, increased energy efficiency, improved
energy policies, and reasonable energy costs for homes. This book
is ideal for architects, designers, engineers, energy engineers,
environmental scientists, practitioners, researchers, academicians,
and students interested in architecture that is both conducive to
healthy living and energy efficiency.
