Adaptation of buildings to climate change through bioclimatic strategies, in Romania.

Climate change has become a fundamental concern for scientific researchers, architects and engineers, and requires improving the performance of the sectors responsible for city and building infrastructure. Burning fossil fuels to produce electricity and heat are the biggest cause of climate change and emissions and represent one third of total greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, buildings become responsible for improving the external environment, either by construction phases, rehabilitating process or by maintaining process. In Romania the building sector is the main contributor to gas emission and most of the residential multi-storeys constructions are buildings from the communist period built using standardized projects. In Romania one the main goals are the thermal rehabilitation of buildings and construction of apartments especially in the inner circle of the capital. However, the renovation measures are very basic and do not target actual/future EU legislation that imposes the Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB) standard for the buildings. To overcome and to provide an alternative to both correct refurbishment and creation of new apartments the OVER 4 prototype was developed. These prototypes are modules of apartments where multiple bioclimatic strategies were implemented to minimize the energy consumption. Using the Passive House Project Planning (PHPP) the module was 3D created and simulated to reach the optimal architecture for both well-being of residents and the energy balance.

“…This definition portrays rating codes as tools designed to provide evidence-base for decision-making. Much of the literature on this topic focuses on effectiveness in terms of precision and reliability of results (Krizmane, 2016;Yu et al, 2015;Alyamia and Rezguib,, 2012;Menezes et al, 2012;Kajikawa, 2011;Mateus and Luís Bragança, 2011;Reijnders and van Roekel, 1999) or comparability across the different rating codes (Becchio et al, 2014;Cheng et al, 2017;Adegbile, 2013;Chew and Das, 2008;Crawley and Aho, 1999) in order to increase their effectiveness within the decision-making process. But only few studies (mentioned in the following sections) discuss fundamental shortcomings, which affect the capability of the impact assessment tool to meet its broader aim and point at the danger of relying on ratings that are merely predictive when taking decisions.…”
