Conclusions and future recommendations.This book investigates energy use and measures to improve the energy efficiency of public housing, using post-war social housing development estates in Cyprus as its example. On this Mediterranean island, which experiences hot and humid temperatures throughout the year, residential buildings need to adapt to the climate to improve the thermal comfort of their occupants. The book assesses the domestic energy use of inefficiently built residential tower blocks and their occupants’ thermal comfort by considering the significant impact of overheating risks on energy consumption and occupants’ thermal comfort and well-being, with the intention of evaluating the current energy performance of base-case representative residential tower blocks (RTBs). In particular, considering the cooling energy demand in the summer, using Famagusta, Cyprus as a case study. It seeks to identify the impact of occupancy patterns and habitual adaptive behaviour of households on home energy performance in orderto provide bases for the information needed to calibrate building energy performance of targeted households.ArchitectureBuildingsEnvironmental engineeringSustainable architectureBuildingsBuildingsDesign and constructionArchitectureBuilding Physics, HVACSustainable Architecture/Green BuildingsBuilding Types and FunctionsBuilding Construction and DesignArchitecture.BuildingsEnvironmental engineering.Sustainable architecture.Buildings.BuildingsDesign and construction.Architecture.Building Physics, HVAC.Sustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.Building Types and Functions.Building Construction and Design.970.00497696.095693Ozarisoy Bertug1274915Altan HasimMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910639891403321Handbook of Retrofitting High Density Residential Buildings3003925UNINA
