Design Corrections in Spanish Office Buildings to Improve Energy Efficiency in the Face of Climate Change
(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 ... -
Digital twin modeling of refrigerated warehouses
(Federación de Asociaciones de Ingenieros Industriales de España, 2023-05)[Abstract]: Energy optimization in cold food storage processes is a complex issue, as many variables have to be taken into consideration, according to the nature of the food to be stored. In addition, energy optimization ... -
Eco-friendly Pressure Drop Dehumidifier: An Experimental and Numerical Analysis
(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
(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]
(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 ... -
Empowering CO2Eco-Refrigeration With Colossal Breathing-Caloric-Like Effects in MOF-508b
(Wiley, 2024)[Abstract] Today,≈20% of the electric consumption is devoted to refrigeration; while,≈50% of the final energy is dedicated to heating applications. In this scenario,many cooling devices and heat-pumps are transitioning ... -
Energy Efficiency and Environmental Measures for Floating Storage Regasification Units
(Elsevier, 2021-09-30)[Abstract] In view of the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the maritime sector, this paper proposes design and operation indicators for the assessment of Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) energy ... -
Energy Efficiency and Thermal Performance of Office Buildings Integrated with Passive Strategies in Coastal Regions of Humid and Hot Tropical Climates in Madagascar
(MDPI AG, 2020-04-02)[Abstract] Researchers have used passive strategies, such as the implementation of thermal insulation and the use of phase change materials (PCM), in several studies, but some problems have not yet been solved. It is the ... -
Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator Resilient, Ship Emissions under Control
(MDPI, 2024)[Abstract] Maritime transport is the most widely used means of transporting goods, and forecasts indicate that it will continue to grow in the coming years, which is why the IMO is regulating energy efficiency and emissions ... -
