This research is aimed at evaluating the energy performance of an existing building inMediterranean climate, and to assess the benefi coming from various retrofi solutions of thebuilding envelope, such as green roof and facades. By means of dynamic simulations, validatedwith experimental results, the reduction in both internal air temperature and cooling load wasestimated.

Abstract

This research is aimed at evaluating the energy performance of an existing building inMediterranean climate, and to assess the benefi coming from various retrofi solutions of thebuilding envelope, such as green roof and facades. By means of dynamic simulations, validatedwith experimental results, the reduction in both internal air temperature and cooling load wasestimated. In addition, the impact of the green shielding on the windows in terms of indoorvisual comfort was assessed, and suitable soluitons were envisaged.
