The case study represents only a part of a larger design project, The Gaohong Garden (Figure 1) at Yongda Road, which involves a 100.000 m2 constructed area and includes a 128 m tall hotel, three 99.9 m tall residential buildings, and thirteen 12 m tall commercial units. Within the blocks...
The building consists of two blocks, north block with classrooms and south block with classrooms and a gym. This research is focused on the northern block to avoid the complexity of the southern block in the modelling. The plan dimensions for the northern building are 25.5 m by 35.1 m. ...
The internal heat flow was determined separately for the multi-unit housing (multi-family houses and apartment blocks) and the single-unit housing (single-family houses) and its mean monthly value amounts at 7.1 and 3.5 W·m−2 respectively. The technical specification UNI/TS 11300 (part 1...
All blocks achieved level C of energy efficiency in terms of the envelope, except the two transition areas, with level D. This was mainly due to non-compliance with the prerequisites for thermal transmittance of the roofs. The absorptance prerequisite still needs to be met. A possible suggestio...
In load-bearing techniques such as rammed earth, adobe, cob and compressed earth blocks, terminology related to mechanical properties is logically prevalent. For wattle and daub, the subjects span a broader spectrum, ranging from microstructure to mechanical properties and organic acids. The hygrotherma...
External walls are from ceramic blocks insulated with 10 cm of Styrofoam. The attic is insulated with 15 cm of mineral wool. The ground floor is insulated with 20 cm layer of Styrofoam. Ventilation airflow was set at 150 m3/h on the basis of Polish requirements [74,75]. 2.2. Ground ...
Figure 1. Experimental buildings. External walls in traditional buildings were made of cellular concrete blocks—24 cm and insulated with 20 cm of mineral wool. The internal walls, both structural and partitioning, were made of 24 cm and 8 cm thick sand-lime (silicate) blocks. The external ...
