Context dependency of comfort and energy performance in mixed-mode offices
(2011)This article investigates the context dependency of comfort and energy performance in mixed-mode offices in the climate of Athens, Greece. It is based on a parametric study using the simulation software EnergyPlus. Context ... -
The effects of construction practices on the seismic performance of RC frames with masonry infills
(2008)A number of construction practices, implemented during the design process of a reinforced concrete (RC) structural system, may have significant consequences on the behaviour of the structural system in the case of earthquake ... -
A genetic algorithm solution to the design of slat-type shading system
(2006)This article presents a technique for the design of slat-type blinds based on the their relative light intensity distribution under a uniform light source. The technique offers a new approach using a genetic algorithm in ... -
Impact of climate change on comfort and energy performance in offices
(2012)This paper investigates the impact of a climate change scenario on comfort and energy performance in offices, in relation to the influence of building design and occupants. It focuses on a typical cellular office room in ... -
Mathematical Macromodeling of Infilled Frames: State of the Art
(2011)The primary objective of this paper is to present a general review of the different macromodels used for the analysis of infilled frames. A number of distinct approaches in the field of analysis of infilled frames since ... -
A review of occupant control on natural ventilation
(2010)According to IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the largest use of energy in commercial buildings is space heating in colder climates and air conditioning in hot climates. In Europe, the Directive on the ... -
Structural identification of Egnatia Odos bridges based on ambient and earthquake induced vibrations
(2009)The dynamic characteristics of two representative R/C bridges on Egnatia Odos motorway in Greece are estimated based on low amplitude ambient and earthquake-induced vibrations. The present work outlines the instrumentation ...
