Design Corrections in Spanish Office Buildings to Improve Energy Efficiency in the Face of Climate Change
Orosa, José A.; Vergara, Diego; Fraguela, Feliciano; Fernández-Arias, Pablo (MDPI, 2020)[Abstract] The majority of buildings in Europe are at present naturally ventilated and do not use heating or cooling equipment throughout the summer. However, this idea is changing and as a result heating ventilation air ... -
Eco-friendly Pressure Drop Dehumidifier: An Experimental and Numerical Analysis
Costa, Ángel M.; Bouzón, Rebeca; Vergara, Diego; Orosa, José A. (2019)[Abstract] The northwest of Spain is defined by very high relative humidity values, with an average relative humidity of 85% throughout the year, which is considered too high by most standards and therefore can be related ... -
Effect of climate change on outdoor termal comfort in humid climates
Orosa, José A.; Costa, Ángel M.; Rodríguez Fernández, Ángel; Roshan, Gholamreza (Springer, 2014)[Abstract] Background: Galicia, in northwest Spain, experiences warm summers and winters. However, the higher relative humidity that prevails the whole year through and the location of the summer hot points are related ... -
Efficiency and Optimization of Buildings Energy Consumption Volume II : [Editorial]
Orosa, José A. (MDPI, 2023)[Abstract] This issue, as a continuation of a previous Special Issue on “Efficiency and Optimization of Buildings Energy Consumption,” gives an up-to-date overview of new technologies based on Machine Learning (ML) and ... -
