In this article we started from the global warming trends due to climate change. These are leading to an increase in the heat risk index, particularly in areas where green infrastructure is lacking, where the population is dense and multi-storey residential buildings are dense. This is the reason why we first proposed a bibliometric study resulting from the growing interest in such analyses using GIS technology. The next step was the development of an automatic model based on specific features and its application ...

The buildings sector currently consumes between 30% and 40% of the total energy produced in the developed countries while contributing over 35% of the total carbon emissions, most of them being built without taking into account passive strategies as well as the integration of renewable energy resources RRE. Given that the technology of solar energy is constantly increasing, adapting continuously to existing solutions is necessary. In this paper we approach the implementation of solar technologies, taking into acco...

This paper aims to provide an overview of the technologies for the use and implementation of phase change materials, with the purpose of identifying possible applications in energy efficiency, reducing energy losses and reducing carbon dioxide emissions, while bringing a contribution in identifying the applications in the design of passive houses regarding the reduction of the overheating phenomenon. A passive house can be defined as an energy efficient construction, which ensures an optimal indoor microclimate bo...
