Abstract
- © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. Both new and existing buildings need to be adapted to climate change, in order to keep providing a comfortable and healthy indoor climate. Preferably, the adaptation measures applied at the building level scale do not require additional energy (i.e. passive measures). Previous studies showed that passive climate change adaptation measures can have a positive effect on thermal comfort in summer and its shoulder seasons in non-air-conditioned residential buildings. In this paper, the effect of these passive climate adaptation measures - applied at building component level - on the cooling and heating energy demand of a terraced house is analyzed using building energy simulations. It is shown that for this particular case the required cooling energy can be limited to a large extent (59-74%) when external solar shading or additional natural ventilation is applied. In addition, it is shown that for a well-insulated terraced house the energy cost for heating is not strongly affected by the application of passive climate change adaptation measures. publisher: Elsevier articletitle: Analysis of the predicted effect of passive climate adaptation measures on energy demand for cooling and heating in a residential building journaltitle: Energy articlelink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2015.11.036 content_type: article copyright: Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
