Building Energy Efficiency and Sustainability -- 2. Adaptive Thermal Comfort Models for Buildings -- 3. Application of Adaptive Thermal Comfort Models for Energy Saving in Buildings -- 4. Energy Savings Obtained with an Adaptive Approach -- 5. Decision Making to Apply Adaptive Approaches.This book is structured in four parts: First, it analyzes the sustainability objectives established for the building stock and the importance of thermal comfort in this aspect. Second, the existing adaptive thermal comfort models and the main energy-saving measures associated with these models are analyzed. Third, the energy savings obtained with these measures are analyzed in several case studies, comparing the results obtained with other energy conservation measures, such as the improvement of the façade. The analysis is carried out from an energy and economic perspective. Finally, a decision‐making process based on fuzzy logic is established. As an expected result, the content of the book contributes to assist architects in designing more efficient buildings from the perspective of user behavior.SpringerBriefs in Architectural Design and Technology,2199-5818Air conditioningBuildingsEnvironmental engineeringBuildingsDesign and constructionSustainable Architecture/Green BuildingsEnergy Policy, Economics and ManagementBuilding Types and FunctionsEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass TransferBuilding Construction and DesignAir conditioning.BuildingsEnvironmental engineering.BuildingsDesign and construction.Sustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Building Types and Functions.Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer.Building Construction and Design.230Bienvenido-Huertas David1226513Rubio-Bellido CarlosMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483447503321Adaptive thermal comfort of indoor environment for residential buildings2848458UNINA
