Portuguese building stock has proven to be obsolete in terms of thermal comfort, which can directly affect the energy demand for climatization purposes. Considering the great solar availability in the country, when compared to other European locations, building retrofit with solar passive technologies can be a suitable solution.
For that reason, solar facade systems offer promising scope for action in the green transition, given that buildings account for a high percentage of global energy consumption. By adopting new approaches to harnessing renewable resources, we are witnessing a significant paradigm shift in building conception and design.
The Integrated System retrofit approach, demonstrated through the case study building at the University of Hawaii, enabled innovative, deep energy saving strategies by considering the correlation and interaction among the building’s systems to target deep, holistic energy saving strategies.
This paper aims to review studies on the application of solar passive technologies to retrofit façades in the Mediterranean climate context, with a special focus on Portugal. Four retrofit passive solar technologies were reviewed, namely glazing, sun shading, sunspaces and Trombe wall technologies. Content may be subject to copyright. ...
Currently, less than 1% is being renovated every year, compared to the 2.5% required to reach this goal. In the search for sustainable solutions, SolarLab develops transformative building materials.
