Yes, for example: Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium , France and Germany. The way ventilative cooling is taken into account in legislation varies among the countries and also between the type of buildings (residential vs. non-residential). References: [1]Plesner C., Status and recommendations … Continue reading →
The Energy performance of buildings directive (EPBD) stimulates the use of passive techniques such as ventilative cooling, aiming to reduce the energy needs for heating or cooling, the energy use for lighting and for ventilation and hence improve thermal and … Continue reading →
In order to be correctly accounted for, ventilative cooling strategies require rather mature assessment methods for thermal comfort and ventilation effects. These assessment methods should include thermal comfort criteria as well as ideally, indoor air quality, visual comfort, and noise. … Continue reading →
