The design of highly efficient low-energy buildings is often a challenging task, especially in the mediterranean area, where the balanced requirement for heating and cooling energy does not usually permit a high level of envelope insulation in order to avoid summer overheating. This topical Special Issue of Energies is dedicated to "High Efficient Buildings in Mediterranean Area: Challenges and Perspectives" and collects studies related to the assessment and evaluation of systems and technologies for building energy management and control in the Mediterranean climate, with the aim of optimizing the building-plant system and reducing energy use. This collection of papers presents the latest research results related to the topic; these articles offer valuable insights into the energy simulation of highly efficient buildings, propose innovative envelope solutions, such as green roofs, Trombe walls, and PCM, and investigate the use of renewable sources such as photovoltaic systems. The topics also include the innovative use and control of Venetian blinds and fixed solar shades in order to reduce energy consumption and preserve visual comfort, as well as an interesting economic analysis based on the cost-optimal approach.High Efficient Buildings in Mediterranean Area Research and information: generalbicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscBEoptbioclimatic strategybuilding designbuilding energy performancebuilding energy simulationscost-optimal analysisdynamic modeleconomic projectionsemission reductionenergetic retrofitenergy demandenergy efficiency policyenergy performance of buildingsenergy savingenergy savingsenergy storageenergy storage unitsenergy transactionsEnergyPlusexperimental analysisgeothermal energy systemgreen rooflife cycle cost assessmentmeasurementsmonitoringmulti-objective optimizationnearly zero energy buildingnet present valuenZEBpayback periodPCM thermal storagephase change materialsphotovoltaicsPositive Energy Buildingprefabricated buildingsPV systems configurationsrenewable energy sourcesresidential buildingshading systemssmart solar shadingsolar gainsSUPRIMthermal behaviorthermal behaviourthermal dynamic simulationtraditional constructive technologytrombe walltypical weather yearvenetian blindsvisual comfortweather datawine vinificationResearch and information: generalTechnology: general issuesArcuri Nataleedt1294100Bruno RobertoedtBevilacqua PieroedtArcuri NataleothBruno RobertoothBevilacqua PieroothBOOK9910557304703321High Efficient Buildings in Mediterranean Area3022872UNINA03334nam 22007093 450 991058578200332120250628110042.03-031-04462-2(CKB)5850000000051450(MiAaPQ)EBC7052882(Au-PeEL)EBL7052882(OCoLC)1338839084(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/91282(PPN)263902374(ODN)ODN0010068714(oapen)doab91282(EXLCZ)99585000000005145020220919d2022 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEvidence Based Global Health Manual for Preterm Birth Risk Assessment1st ed.ChamSpringer Nature2022Cham :Springer International Publishing AG,2022.©2022.1 online resource (66 pages)Medicine Series3-031-04461-4 This is an open access book. In this open access book the NIHR Global Health research group on preterm birth, PRIME, prioritizes the development of prenatal risk assessment guidance for preterm birth. This book is based on global literature, published international, national and regional guidance and it is structured into six chapters providing: an overview of the domains for risk assessment and the summary recommendations in greater depth maternal demographics and past pregnancy histories, accurate pregnancy dating, and the contribution of infection, nutritional status and substance misuse to preterm birth risk. Each chapter has structured sections which include a) background information, b) an evidence statement highlighting the risk factors covered, and c) practical recommendations for evaluating those risks as well as the evidenced recommended and effective interventions for women deemed to be at risk. The chapter ends with clinical and research recommendations regarding factors of unknown or unproven risk (“myth busters”). This open access book will be a very useful guide for all health care professionals involved in delivering pregnancy care.Medicine SeriesGynaecology & obstetricsbicsscPaediatric medicinebicsscPublic health & preventive medicinebicsscComplicacions en l'embaràsthubPart prematurthubLlibres electrònicsthubPregnancyRisk assessmentInfectionSubstance abuseNutritionObstetricsPreterm birthSDG3Gynaecology & obstetricsPaediatric medicinePublic health & preventive medicineComplicacions en l'embaràsPart prematurMED033000MED069000MED078000bisacshAnumba Dilly1260000Jayasooriya Shamanthi M1257443MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910585782003321Evidence Based Global Health Manual for Preterm Birth Risk Assessment2919592UNINA
