2. Case Study Building 2.1. Building Description The Sir Matthew Begbie Elementary School, in Vancouver BC, shown in Figure 1, was used as a case study. This two-storey school building was designed by Fast + Epp. The building consists of two blocks, north block with classrooms and south...
Within the blocks, there are collective green spaces and parking, these latter either above and below the ground. The building of interest is 110 m tall with two additional underground floors and it is mixed use, containing different destinations as commercial spaces, offices, and residences. ...
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...
Bioclimatic solar greenhouses are passive solar systems of relevant interest in the building sector, as they allow the reduction of energy needs related to air-conditioning. The aim of this work is to analyze the thermal behavior of a bioclimatic solar g
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 ...
The internal walls, both structural and partitioning, were made of 24 cm and 8 cm thick sand-lime (silicate) blocks. The external walls of the skeleton building are made of a timber frame filled with 16 cm of mineral wool, additionally insulated with 18 cm of mineral wool. The internal ...
