    Abstract The presented study aims to clarify the implications of passive design measures on heating and cooling energy use of single-family residential buildings under European representative climates. In order to address this matter, different values of thermal transmittance (opaque and transparent), window to floor ratio, window distribution, shape factor, diurnal heat storage capacity, external opaque surface solar absorptivity and natural ventilation cooling rates were combined in 496,800 building energy models, which were simulated at eight locations. Because buildings are in use for many decades, the energy use simulations were made considering the projected climate change up to the end of the 21st century. The results delivered a set of the most effective passive design measures for achieving low energy use in buildings regarding climate type and period. A lower window to floor ratio was identified as the most universally applicable design measure to counterbalance the projected effect of a warming climate. In contrast, other measures vary according to climate type and studied period. Furthermore, it was concluded that it is difficult to neutralise the projected climate change effects on buildings' energy use, even when applying the best performing combination of passive design measures. However, reasonably low energy use can still be assured solely by passive building design, especially in oceanic, warm, and some temperate climate locations. Therefore, the identified trends in energy use and passive design measures represent the foundation for strategies and guidelines aimed at future-proof energy-efficient buildings.

    Abstract Due to the profound impact that building sector has on the environment and consequently the sustainability of our society, the evaluation of environmental impacts through life cycle assessment (LCA) should become part of building design. The number of published environmental product declarations (EPDs) is growing, which indicates that they can become valuable tools for building designers to evaluate the environmental performance of construction works. We identified that in the current EPD scheme an important part is missing – the results interpretation. In order to evaluate the environmental performance of buildings or their components and elements, the designer is “forced” to conduct a comparative assertion on a population of alternatives. The paper explores the results interpretation of LCA data in the context of the EPD scheme for building products and presents a comparative assertion method, which could guide designers through the results interpretation step of LCA. The proposed soft comparative assertion method was tested on a sample of external wall assembly alternatives and the results show that it significantly simplifies the LCA results interpretation and enables straightforward decision making. However, the method is not yet a fully functional tool and should be upgraded in order to make the decision process more robust and less subjective. With this paper we wish to encourage further research on the described topic, which is vital in order to add credibility to the EPD scheme as an instrument for lowering the environmental impact of the building sector.

    Abstract Off-site construction can represent a potential solution for worldwide mass housing demand and has gained a lot of attention during the refugee crisis in Europe. In particular, modular construction is one of the most cost-effective off-site methods for various types of buildings. Its characteristics are cost -effectiveness, quality control and quick on-site assembly. The design challenge is to join the stated advantages with operational sustainability, which is susceptible to climate-determined and energy efficient design. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to systematically evaluate energy and visual (daylight) efficiency of singular prefabricated modular unit. In order to emphasise the relevance of local climate, modular unit model was analysed at five different locations, monitoring cooling, heating and lighting energy use. Results showed similarities and differences between the analysed locations and implemented design measures. The conducted analysis included variation of orientation, window to wall ratio, window distribution, envelope thermal transmittance and glazing characteristics. Surprisingly, the results indicate substantial impact of artificial lighting on the total energy use. Therefore, emphasising a direct connection to the Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA) values of the modular units. With sDA values below 50%, lighting can represent up to half of the total energy use.

    Abstract Building-management systems (BMSs) are becoming increasingly important as they are an efficient means to having buildings that consume less energy as well as for improving the indoor working and living environments. On the other hand, implementing automated control and monitoring systems in buildings is still relatively new, and one of the obstacles for their wider implementation is the ease of setting up the appropriate parameters for the controllers. During our work on an experimental controller for an indoor environment that is installed in an occupied office in the building of the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, it has become evident that a computer simulator of the system would be a welcome aid for the optimization of its functioning. In this paper we present a simulator application developed in a combined Matlab/Simulink and Dymola/Modelica environment. The simulator mirrors the functioning of the control system and the dynamics of the indoor environment, where the thermal model of the simulator was developed in the Dymola/Modelica environment, while the illuminance model was developed and parameterized as a black-box model on the basis of measurements in the Matlab environment. The simulator can emulate the response of conventional ON/OFF controllers as well as fuzzy controllers. The paper presents the design of the simulator with all of the key elements described. The underlying models for the thermal and illuminance control are also separately described. Finally, the performance of the simulator is presented for a selected day.
