Greater amount of energy consumed in wineries is used for cooling and humidifying of the interior, for this reason the correct design of energy efficient wineries has become an important issue for winemaking countries. The purpose of the design of buildings that require less or no energy to achieve controlled conditions of the indoor hygrothermal environment for production and aging of wine, allowed to formulate the objective of this work, which was to evaluate six models of wineries with bioclimatic design located in El Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California from data on thermal performance (indoor temperature and relative humidity) and energy consumption (kWh and degrees-hour), obtained by dynamic thermal simulation. The zone of the study was characterized, based on the review of previous studies optimum temperature ranges were defined for aging and wine production. A basic model of a winemaking building was designed to which bioclimatic strategies were applied. The results obtained allowed to suggest the best bioclimatic design options for this type of buildings.

Energy Consuming

Conventional energy use has brought environmental problems such as global warming and accelerated efforts to reduce energy consumption in many areas, particularly in the housing sector. For this purpose, bioclimatic design principles and vernacular architecture parameters have started to be examined in residential buildings nowadays. Thus, the demand for less energy-consuming houses has started to increase. In this study, we aimed to specify the significance of traditional architectural parameters for houses in the hot-dry climatic region of Diyarbakır, Turkey. Within the scope of the study, a case was based on the urban fabric of the traditional houses in Historical Diyarbakir Suriçi-Old Town settlement and the Şilbe Mass Housing Area was discussed. The courtyard types, settlement patterns, and street texture of traditional Diyarbakır houses were modeled by using DesignBuilder energy simulation program for the case study. Annual heating, cooling, and total energy loads were calculated, and their thermal performances were compared. The aim is to create a less energy-consuming and sustainable environment with the adaptation of traditional building form-street texture to today’s housing sector. Development of a settlement model, which is based on traditional houses’ bioclimatic design for hot-dry region, was intended to be applied in the modern housing sector of Turkey. Moreover, adapting local forms, urban texture, and settlement patterns to today has significant potential for sustainable architecture and energy-efficient buildings. According to this study, the optimum form and layout of traditional houses, which are one of the climate balanced building designs, provide annual energy savings if integrated and designed in today’s building construction. As a result of this study, if the passive design alternatives such as building shape, layout, and orientation were developed in the first stage of the design, energy efficient building design would be possible. The study is important for the continuation of traditional sustainable design.

Abstract In 2020 the residential sector witnessed a complete transformation of the way people live and occupy the spaces. Indeed, different Countries introduced total lockdowns as a measure to contain and prevent the spread of COVID-19, forcing people to stay at home. These measures impact the indoor hygrothermal environment: higher internal thermal loads and moisture generation rate may create the perfect situation to support mould growth. This project aims to understand the impacts of increased work-from-home practices on the hygrothermal performance of residential buildings. The assessment uses a two-step methodology: firstly, whole building transient simulations (software trnsys) are used to generate the indoor temperature and humidity profiles, secondly hygrothermal transient simulations (software WUFI) are used to quantify the risk of mould growth. This research reveals the inadequacy of current design and construction practices to support flexible occupation patterns.

AbstractEchinostoma revolutum eggs recovered from naturally infected wild Canada geese (Branta canadensis) were cold stored (4–6°C) for up to 72 weeks. Successful hatching followed incubation for from 6 to 8 days at an optimum temperature of between 25 and 30°C. A partial life cycle from adult worm to metacercarial encystment in Lymnaea tomentosa snails was completed in the laboratory. Snails were infected both by free miracidia and by ingestment of unhatched embryonated eggs. Infection was equally successful in environmental temperature ranges from 10 to 25°C, and at challenge levels of 2, 5 or 10 embryonated eggs per snail. Exposure to 10 eggs was lethal. Ingestion by snails of embryonated eggs with successful infection at 10°C suggests that embryonated eggs may be used to infect wild snails when the environmental water temperature has reached 10°C.

Fluctuating Temperatures

Because environmental factors facilitating the breaking of dormancy of seed of catclaw mimosa (Mimosa pigra L. ♯ MIMPI) under field conditions were unknown, the effect of constant temperatures (2 to 44 C) on germination of scarified and unscarified seeds, and the effect of diurnally fluctuating temperatures on unscarified seeds were examined. Temperatures fluctuated diurnally by 10 and 20 C in these latter experiments. Germination was less than 10% at all constant temperatures except 44 C, which had 40% germination. Scarification increased germination to 100% at constant temperatures greater than 12 C. Germination of unscarified seed was significantly lower (0 to 23%) when day/night temperature ranges fluctuated by 10 C than when they fluctuated by 20 C. Optimum temperature for germination was 40/20 C, where 93% germination occurred within 4 days.

Occupant Satisfaction

A comfortable indoor environment is one of the primary conditions of buildings. A majority of studies have attempted to compare occupant satisfaction of green-certificated offices and conventional offices. However, comparison of occupant perception with the adaptive comfort model may show differences and provide recommendations for the globe temperature in comfort. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the seasonal adaptation to indoor temperature, and to report the results of users’ thermal perception surveys on energy efficient renovated office buildings. This work compares occupants’ perception of indoor thermal quality. Data of indoor temperature were collected for 2 weeks in three seasons: summer, winter, and mid-season. Monitored indoor temperatures were compared with occupants’ thermal sensation, preference, and satisfaction regarding thermal comfort. The research found the relationship between indoor temperature and occupants’ thermal sensation. Results show that occupants perceived thermal quality better in renovated offices compared to non-renovated ones, but they do not always experience better thermal comfort than people in a non-renovated office.
