Analysis of photovoltaic-green roofs in OSTIM industrial zone

Implementing the Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings Notion in Industrial Facilities

“…Besides improving the conditions of life of workers, the implementation of the best IEQ helps in increasing the market value of the property and, above all, it represents a strong and clear message of the policies that the companies intend to propose on an ethical level [47]. Optimization of air supply distribution and mechanical ventilation [42], [43] Adjustable wind ratio [42] Alternative energy Heat recovery (exhaust air heat recovery; boiler heat recovery; compressor waste heat utilization) [42], [50], [52] TES [53], [42] GSHP technology RES energy on-site (solar and photo-thermal technology) [42], [53], [54] RES energy off-site (connection to off-site RES, industrial and urban energy symbiosis) [55], [56] Building envelope Wall insulation/renovation [42], [43], [46], [50] Roof insulation/renovation, cool roof, green roof, coating, membrane [13], [35], [43], [50], [54], [57], [58] Window renovation [13], [42], [46], [50] Door renovation [46] Skylight replacement…”

“… demand-side, as ground-source heat pumps [42], [50], [52].  on-site, where all the renewable energies are available on-site and are generated within the building footprint or within the boundary of the building site, as photovoltaic (PV) and solar technologies located on the roof or on adjacent buildings spaces [42], [53], [54].  off-site, when the building uses off-site energy with the connection to grid purchasing energy generated by RES.…”

“…Green roofs is also a largely demonstrated technology able to reduce the thermal gain as well as the heat island effect, and to enhance the hydrology lost habitats [54].…”

Evaluation of the thermal comfort in different commercial buildings in Guangzhou

“…Some studies have explored the effectiveness and sustainability of green roof and wall technologies applied in terms of economic and carbon emissions, demonstrating the contribution of green inside systems in energy efficiency and building thermal comfort. [11][12][13] However, Widiastuti et al 14 argued that green facades increase the relative humidity of the room, leading to an uncomfortable indoor environment.…”

Development of models to evaluate the potential of building roofs to reduce air pollution: application to the case of Tehran

“…Accordingly, among different possible strategies identified initially to reduce air pollution in cities -such as the contribution of urban planning, building utilization, construction technology, and construction material -this thesis concentrates on the potential of building utilization. To this end, rooftops, the most effective and promising building envelopes, can be calibrated to contribute to this decrement [43]. Rooftops are considered convenient context because they are: (a) extremely abundant, (b) capable of providing vast areas, (c) significantly exposed to sunlight, (d) facile available, and (e)…”
