No full textThis book is the result of the SEEM – Solar Eco-Efficient Envelope Model – research project, financed by the Italian Environment Ministry, as part of its funding for research in the field of Energy Efficiency and the Use of Renewable Energy in Urban Areas. The research has been scientifically directed by the editor of this book, Francesca Muzzillo, associate professor of Architectural Technology at the Luigi Vanvitelli Department of the Second University of Naples (SUN). The research has been carried out by SUN in partnership with BENECON scarl and TECN.AV srl.
Architectural integration, executive components of the solar chimney, the ventilated wall and the bioclimatic control have been studied by the Luigi Vanvitelli Department. Under the technological point of view, in the first phase, the research has been undertaken by Francesca Muzzillo at “Low Energy Architecture Research Unit” of London Metropolitan University. At the time of the study, the Luigi Vanvitelli Department was directed by Carmine Gambardella and the members of the department research team involved in the project were, apart from Carmine Gambardella and Francesca Muzzillo, Lorenzo Capobianco and Corrado Di Domenico for architectural design, and Rossella Franchino, Caterina Frettoloso and Antonella Violano for the architectural technology components
Tall and Narrow. Chimneys for Bioclimatic Architecture between Tadition and Innovation
No full textThe book is the result of the SEEM – Solar Eco-Efficient Envelope Model – research project, financed by the Italian Environment Ministry. The research, scientifically directed by the editor of the book, has been carried out by SUN University in partnership with BENECON scarl and TECN.AV srl.The research project has studied the use of solar chimneys in building enve-lopes, both as bioclimatic element and possible source of renewable energy mainly in commercial or industrial buildings.Particularly the promotion of solar chimney disposals has started from a comprehensive approach, giving attention not only to the performances but also to the aesthetic value of a chimney, from the tradition towards contem-porary innovative experiences.The interdisciplinary approach has been conducted specially during the experimental construction of a demonstrator prototype of the chimney por-tion on 1:1 scale, in order to obtain adequate computational fluid dynamics simulations. During the design and the realization of the prototype atten-tion was given to let collaborate specialists who had previously afforded the sustainable chimney with different approaches and results. So the attempt of the book is revealing the overall interest on a convergent project from different perspective
