Energy Consumption at Accommodation Buildings: A Case Study of a Boutique Hotel-Abdera

Global environmental problems such as decreasing biodiversity, natural disasters, climate change, and energy consumption are among the main concerns of the countries. Approximately 50% of the energy consumed worldwide is spent on architectural construction, use, and operation. The increase in energy consumption in buildings especially has taken the reduction of carbon footprint and the importance of energy efficiency to the fore. Physical environment, climate, orientation, envelope, and material properties are among the different factors in determining energy consumption in buildings. The share of tourism activities in total emissions is estimated to be 5%. However, it is also stated that tourism buildings have a share of 21 % of C02 emissions. This work aimed to research the energy consumption of a boutique hotel in Abdera, Greece. ArchiCAD, Graphisoft, and EcoDesigner software were used in the analysis of findings, and suggestions were put forward. Energy consumption and environmental effects were investigated when active solar systems (Solar Thermal Panel /STP (30 m2), Photovoltaic Panel/PV (30 m2)) were added to the roof surface (total 60 m2 Panel) of the building. The analysis showed that the addition of active solar systems by 30% could reduce emissions. In Greece, which is located in a very favorable region in terms of geographical features, it is very important to use solar potential with integrated systems in buildings to provide energy needs.

Analisis Penerapan Konsep Desain Arsitektur Tropis pada Hotel Alila Seminyak, Bali

Title: Implementation’s Analysis of Tropical Architectural Design Concepts at Alila Seminyak Hotel, Bali Tropical architecture is born from efforts to adjust to the climate in the tropics. Tropical architectural design always shows the form of adaptation of buildings to the environment. Traditional Balinese houses that function as community residential units are one of the tropical architectural typologies with the main advantage of thermal comfort, especially on air circulation flow that flows well throughout the building. However, when reviewing further commercial buildings in Bali, especially star hotels, the implementation of tropical architecture is a theme that requires deep design thinking. Adjustment to Balinese regional regulations on buildings is very binding; limited sites and demands for comfort and suitability of building functions are challenging for architects to design an accommodation building with a tropical architectural concept. Alila Seminyak Hotel is one of the five-star hotels outside the ITDC Nusa Dua area, which tries to form a tropical architectural identity as the main attraction. This qualitative descriptive research takes the case study of Alila Seminyak Hotel. Assessment analysis was carried out on the physical form of the hotel building, which was then appropriated and compared with tropical architectural theory. The results of this study show that the implementation of tropical architecture in the Alila Seminyak hotel building can be classified into several main elements, namely, first is the form of laying the building period on-site, second is the orientation pattern of the building, and third is The physical design of the building emphasizes, that this building have three main concept designs, it is namely insulation, shading, and cross ventilation.

Architectural characteristics of accommodation buildings within the context of sustainable ecotourism in Cyprus: evaluation and recommendations

Tourism, a socioeconomic activity generally defined as an exchange of culture, is diversified by its different purposes. Ecotourism, which emerged and has been constantly developing in the last quarter century, is based on the principles of protecting the natural environment and recognising the original local culture in an interaction with the environment. As significant components of tourism activities, accommodation structures play a major role in the realisation of ecotourism. Due to its location, cultural heritage and rich history together with its Mediterranean climate, Cyprus is an especially important tourism destination for people from Middle East and European countries. The traditional living culture in this small island country has created a huge demand for ecotourism in Cyprus. The ecotourism industry in Cyprus provides housing structures restored with the traditional architectural characteristics of the island as well as new buildings. The new accommodation structures should be constructed in compliance with the traditional architectural characteristics of Cyprus to contribute to the island’s cultural tourism. Our study was conducted through a literature review regarding the main concepts of tourism and ecotourism and on-site field work on the architectural characteristics of existing ecotourism accommodation structures located in the ecotourism villages of Cyprus. In consideration of the field study findings, this study also proposes recommendations that could be a model for the architectural characteristics of new accommodation structures to be constructed for sustainable ecotourism in Cyprus. Within the framework of our study, the location, construction date, and architectural characteristics of fifteen accommodation structures were selected from Cyprus ecotourism villages; their layout and sketch drawings were completed using measurements and observations, while outdoor-indoor photographs were taken. As a result of these findings and based on the common architectural characteristics of existing ecotourism accommodation structures, the architectural characteristics of future accommodation structures have been identified accordingly.

Optimizing the Passive House Planning Package simulation tool: A bottom-up dynamic approach to reduce building performance gap

The Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) simulation tool is the only authorized software in Australia for the Passivhaus (PH) certification. Despite its key role in this certification scheme, previous studies have reported significant gaps between the simulated and actual performance. To address this limitation, this study introduces a bottom-up approach to building performance simulation based on a dynamic method combined with advanced appliance profiles. This study uses two-year monitored data in a PH-certified student accommodation building in Australia and validates the proposed bottom-up approach in both annual and monthly granularity. The results show that the level of reliability and robustness of the PHPP tool is substantially improved for three PH criteria (i.e., overheating frequency, space heating energy demand, and primary energy renewable) and three operational variables (i.e., indoor temperature, plug load, and lighting power density), all within the ranges of error allowed by ASHRAE’s Guideline 14–2014. Based on the proposed approach, a set of stepwise retrofit actions was put in place to further improve the energy efficiency and occupant thermal comfort in the case study building.

Performances of energy management strategies for a Photovoltaic/Battery microgrid considering battery degradation

Several energy management strategies, of increasing complexity, are compared in term of cost benefit for a Photovoltaic /battery system providing electricity to an accommodation building with an electric vehicle. Rule based control methods with or without production forecasting are implemented and compared to a linear programming strategy used as a reference. The improvement in term of gain between simplest and reference methods is about 27%. It appears that the battery cycles number differs greatly (up to 55%), leading to a more or less rapid ageing. Battery degradation models are thus added and a corresponding cost is introduced in the strategy benefit. The results, depending on the initial battery cost, are significantly impacted, changing the relevance of the control strategies.

Field measurement of reverberation time and average absorption of one high-rise building room by road traffic noise penetrating facade

The facade insulation (FI) is one choice for Road traffic noise (RTN) at a high-rise accommodation building nearby a motor road. The weakness of FI is from window, so the window insulation (WI) is also a prioritized descriptor. ISO16283-3 states a field method to measure FI using RTN. However, in room acoustics, besides FI, reverberation time (RBT) or indoor average sound absorption (IASB) are another two un-ignorable descriptors. When the value of IASB is small, the indoor noise is not only contributed from penetrating façade RTN, but also supplemented by the residual sound from high reverberation field, weakening FI. As a parallel to ISO16283-3, this paper suggests an engineering method to measure RBT and IASB of one high-rise building room close to a motor road by penetrating façade RTN. It can supply a convenient tool for the field measurement of RBT and IASB with RTN. At the end, we made a field measurement of RBT, IASB, and WI at a hotel room nearby a viaduct in Hangzhou of China, assistant to adjust RBT or IASB and WI so as to improve the sound quality of the hotel. Further, the method can extend to the lines of rail, aviation, and shipping.

10-year simulation of photovoltaic-thermal road assisted ground source heat pump system for accommodation building heating in expressway service area

The photovoltaic-thermal (PVT)-ground source heat pump (GSHP) system has been proved to have great potential in improving building energy efficiency, but ordinary PVT collector requires a large installation area and limits the popularization of PVT. In this paper, a novel solar energy collector, called photovoltaic-thermal road (PVTR), is proposed to replace the traditional PVT collector, and a novel energy system that is PVTR-GSHP system is proposed. In order to study the system performance, taking a typical expressway service accommodation building in Beijing as an example, a 10-year simulation is carried out to analyze the heating operation characteristics of the proposed system. Moreover, the effects of the PVTR area, the length and layout of ground heat exchanger (GHE) on the system performance are also discussed. Results show that, when the length of GHE is 5000 m, and the number of boreholes is 25 and the borehole depth is 100 m, the minimum area of PVTR satisfying the soil heat balance and meeting the system power consumption are 187.2 m2 and 216 m2, respectively. When the PVTR area is 216 m2, the minimum GHE length satisfying the soil heat balance is 4000 m. Finally, to realize system zero energy consumption and soil heat balance, the best combination of GHE length and PVTR area is 4000 m and 216 m2 under the cases of this paper. And in this case, the average COPHP and COPsys in ten years are 5.59 and 2.31 respectively.

Investigation of Buildings in Alaçatı in Terms of Energy Efficiency in Architecture

Purpose Due to the depletion of natural resources, energy efficiency in buildings has increasingly gained a major priority. As vernacular houses contain accumulated knowledge to adapt to the climate, they have been crucial examples of energy-efficient architecture for the designers. In this manner, the study focuses on Alaçatı vernacular houses. The purpose of the study is to investigate and compare the energy-efficient architecture properties of different types of tourism accommodation buildings. Design/Methodology/Approach The accommodation buildings are grouped into three categories, namely “Accommodation buildings converted from vernacular houses of the area”, “New accommodation buildings designed in the style of vernacular houses”, and “Accommodation buildings that have different architectural styles”. Selected three sample buildings from each group are evaluated by energy efficiency principles. Building energy simulation models of the nine case buildings in total are developed to determine the building components’ contribution to energy consumption by heating and cooling. The values from energy modeling are used to compare the buildings according to the checklist. Findings According to the results of the study, the density of space, natural ventilation, shading elements, and pitched roof type specialties of vernacular buildings reduce heating and cooling load. However, traditional stone load-bearing walls and bay windows, which are the most significant element of the building form, increase the annual energy demand. At the end of the study, Alaçatı Energy-Efficient Architecture Database Schema is presented in Table 10 as the outcome of the study. Research Limitations/Implications The evaluation of the case buildings merely depends on the annual cooling and heating energy loads of nine randomly selected buildings. Practical and Social Implications The assessment method used in the study provides the opportunity to identify the proportion of the effect of energy efficiency properties on the total heating and cooling load. Furthermore, the “Alaçatı Energy-Efficient Architecture Schema” presented as the ultimate product of this study is expected to guide the architects to design energy-efficient accommodation buildings, without compromising the vernacular architectural appearance of Alaçatı. Originality/Value The study focuses on the separate effects of the properties of Alaçatı vernacular architecture, instead of focusing on one property, or comparing case buildings on the energy consumption.

Study on Utilization Measure of BIM to Predict Reuse Rate of Modular Housing Demonstration Complex of Demolished P-Panels

In recent years, the shortage of houses due to the explosive increase in 1~2 person households has occurred and the demand on the improvements of residential has also increased to accommodate the diversification of the housing-vulnerable group. Accordingly, the construction of two modular apartments were completed. But it is primarily needed to investigate the development of specialized modular parts that can be used in pre-fabricated houses. In the meantime, The International Olympic Committee recommended to build demountable venues and temporary facilities according to the Olympic Agenda 2020. Thus, some facilities were built as demountable among the related facilities. Although it had an advantage that resolved the facility operation cost problem of local government after the Olympic closing, it had to solve the problem of re-use of pre-fabricated material stocks such as a large amount of demolished panels by construction companies. To solve this problem, this study was conducted to raise the re-use rate of interior and exterior panels by utilizing building information modeling as the first step to develop a specialized interior and exterior material system of modular demonstration apartment that is constructed in Dujeong-dong in Cheonan by demounting the interior and exterior pre-fabricated materials in the Driver Accommodation Building.

Comparing user satisfaction of older and newer on-campus accommodation buildings in Australia

PurposeThis paper aims to assess the level of occupants’ satisfaction, comparing older and newer on-campus accommodation buildings in Sydney, Australia, aiming to identify their comfort factors deficiencies in terms of design and construction solutions/strategies (e.g. spatial arrangements, materials, thermal comfort).Design/methodology/approachA post occupancy evaluation survey was used to assess the occupant satisfaction with three on-campus accommodation buildings in The University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney. One of the selected buildings is an older building opened for occupation in 1996, and the other two are more recent on campus accommodations buildings. The survey included 11 post occupancy evaluation elements identified through literature review which were categorised into three dimensions: technical, functional and behavioural.FindingsThe results show that the satisfaction levels with thermal and acoustic comfort were below standards for both older and newer buildings. In addition, the older building used in this study was rated low in terms of: indoor air quality, lighting, maintenance and management, vertical transportation facility, room layout and furniture quality, building layout and aesthetics and level of privacy. Such factors related to both functional and behavioural dimensions were of greater satisfaction in newer buildings.Practical implicationsFindings suggest the high priority of strategies that address and improve the thermal and acoustic comfort of older and newer on-campus accommodation buildings if the intention is to enhance students’ satisfaction, especially considering the impact that these facilities have on students’ performance. Thermal performance in different seasons and adaptive thermal comfort activities should be considered in the design of new on-campus accommodation buildings and the retrofit of existing old buildings.Originality/valueOn-campus accommodation is an important facility that supports student learning outcomes and helps students adapt in a new learning environment. A post occupancy evaluation study to assess the adequacy of this facility is still lacking because previous studies have generally focussed on class rooms and work spaces in the education sector. This research compares the user satisfaction of older and newer on-campus accommodation buildings in Australia, to highlight deficiencies and areas for improvement in the design of existing and future buildings.

Lubelskie szkolnictwo powszechne w latach 1918-1939 w świetle wymogów sanitarno-higienicznych

<p>Polska w momencie odzyskania niepodległości stanęła przed wyzwaniem nie tylko zorganizowania od strony formalnej państwa, ale przede wszystkim otoczenia opieką najmłodszych i stworzenia im dogodnych warunków do życia, w tym i do nauki. Wielu higienistów uważało, z czym należy się niewątpliwie zgodzić, że przyczyną wielu schorzeń uczniów był zarówno brak odpowiednich budynków szkolnych spełniających podstawowe wymagania sanitarne, jak i zapewniających bezpieczeństwo i odpowiednią higienę nauczania. Zatem samo wprowadzenie obowiązku szkolnego oraz reform dotyczących programów i struktury szkolnictwa nie dawało podstaw, by sądzić, że został rozwiązany problem polskiej oświaty. Miernikiem jej stanu i warunkiem rozwoju była baza lokalowa oraz budynki szkolne. Niestety brak odpowiednio przygotowanej infrastruktury dało się odczuć w całej Polsce. Analiza źródeł oraz literatury przedmiotu pozwoliła w niniejszym artykule na ukazanie sytuacji szkolnictwa powszechnego na Lubelszczyźnie w niepodległej Polsce. Artykuł traktuje o stanie infrastruktury placówek, a zwłaszcza ich sytuacji materialnej, która miała wpływ na warunki, w jakich uczyła się młodzież. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na kształtowanie się sieci szkół powszechnych oraz zaprezentowano problemy dotyczące budowy nowych obiektów szkolnych, a zwłaszcza wytycznych w sprawie warunków technicznych i wyposażenia szkół w odpowiednie sprzęty, które zapewnić miały uczniom prawidłowe warunki higieniczne w szkołach.</p>
