The aim of the study is to outline new opportunities of improving buildings ambient comfort and thus to determine energy consumption cut down. The second half of the XX century witnessed the development of society disregarding the extent to which environment was affected by the industrial production; pollution was triggered by the widespread industry which made use of technologies whose main target was the increase of production output at any cost, an aggressive industry with respect to location areas; it was resorted the energy technologies without taking into account the introduction of processes with low energy consumption and environment protection. During the previous periods, resources were also used extensively as well as aggressively without minding the damage caused and ignoring measures of environment rehabilitation. By studying a number of villa preliminary designs, deliberately selected, it was noticed the architect's tendency to solve vertical movement by including a staircase in the preliminary design. Most likely this is the habit of architects trained before 1990, to use the staircase inspired from multi-storey buildings, block-type, and to apply it without any changes to villa buildings. Thus it can be seen the tendency of executing a staircase with the sole function of vertical passage. This leads to the allocation of larger areas for vertical movement and consequently a high consumption of resources. The research tries to emphasise new possible ways of realisation interior staircase that can partial diminish the energy consumption and optimize the flux between levels.
Starting from the disadvantages of the polystyrene system -the most important being that they are not biodegradable and their life cycle is relatively small, up to fifteen years -there were conceived several structures for outside walls made of perforated bricks vertically disposed and filled with granular materials. In this manner the thermal resistance is improved knowing that in gaps bigger than twenty millimeters there appear convective streams which substantially decrease the isolation properties of the houses. Another aspect that was studied deals with the improvement of indoor air temperature during summer period. This temperature can also be obtained by using two unconventional solutions. First of them is given by the utilization of geothermal energy, and the second one represents the heat absorption phenomenon through water vaporizations. Using these ideas there were considered different methods for heat transfer from an area to another by using some devices that allow fluids to pass through different aggregation forms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
