The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Building America program has developed a series of best practices and case studies to help builders improve whole-house energy performance in buildings found in hot-humid climates.See examples of whole-house solutions for new homes throughout the U.S. hot-humid climate zone.See examples of whole-house solutions for existing homes throughout the U.S. hot-humid climate zone.You may also find case studies and guides that work across all climates on the For additional, updated information on hundreds of building science topics that can help you build or retrofit to the most recent high-performance construction criteria, including the latest version of ENERGY STAR and the DOE Challenge Home requirements, see the 40% Whole-House Energy Savings in the Hot-Humid Climates — Volume 15; Optimized Climate Solutions Tool. Adequate shading measures are also necessary to protect the building from direct solar radiation. By continuing you agree to the Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. Net Zero building is becoming a global trend as a strategy to reduce the carbon footprint.
Thus the state of art review is presented for net-zero buildings in a hot and humid climate.We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. 1.

The rate of deterioration of concrete and plaster doubles with a temperature increase of 10°C (Adamson & Olle, 1993). In order to achieve Net-Zero building design in hot and humid climates, efforts must be put to reduce the overall energy use to the maximum extent by integrating appropriate building technologies into the architectural designs. Greenville Chapter ASHRAE Raymond E. Patenaude, PE, CPMP Holmes Engineering Group LLC Consulting and Forensic Engineers www.HolmesEngineeringGroup.com In warm-humid climate building materials are deteriorated rapidly.Concrete is a good material for permanent structures in the tropics. Cross ventilation is hence very essential here. However, the lifetime of a concrete structure decreases with increasing temperature and humidy. In this paper, the latest ideas dealing with building performances and net-zero building design projects, are reviewed and an outlook is given including new concepts of combined systems in hot and humid climate regions. When it comes to hot climates, there are two main ways indoor comfort can be achieved when it’s warm and possibly humid outside. Best Practice Guides. The paper also proposes novel wind tower dehumidification design and ventilated attic building design for the hot and humid region.
The paper is structured in the following manner which includes basic guidelines, natural ventilation systems, cooling and dehumidification, insulation and construction materials, reviews of several net-zero energy building projects. 3. The Building America Solution Center now offers Optimized Climate Solutions, sets of climate-specific measures that builders can use to achieve energy savings of about 30% over the Building America B10 Benchmark (which is roughly consistent with the 2009 … Common Building Failures in Hot-Humid Climates Nearly all building enclosure related failures in hot-humid climates are related to decay associated with water: rain water, ground water, water in the air, and water already in the materials we build with. After extensive investigation by architects, engineers and mycologists (fungal experts), it was discovered that the heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system had not been designed and constructed to maintain proper … Keep the building open and encourage air circulation Vernacular solution in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia © Caroline Jäger-Klein et al Bauphysik 2015 in hot and hum id climates, effor ts must be pu t into understa nding the local climate, and integrating appropriate building technologies into the architectural and urban designs. In order to achieve Net-Zero building design in hot and humid climates, efforts must be put to reduce the overall energy use to the maximum extent by integrating appropriate building technologies into the architectural designs.
