PASSIVE ENERGY REDUCTION TECHNOLOGIES IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper presents a review of passive techniques used in environmental engineering and construction, aimed at reducing energy consumption for heating or cooling purposes. These are: green facades, cooling coatings, thermopaints, heater screens, shutters and other solutions. Their disadvantages, advantages and working methods were discussed. The heat gain calculations for the exemplary building whose baffles were painted with pigmented pigment with varying degrees of dilution resulted in a facade of varying color intensity. It has been found that by applying bright colors, nearly 30 percent of energy consumption for cooling purposes for heat gains through opaque seams compared to dark colors has been reduced.
