Laboratory of Environmental and Energy Design of Buildings and Settlements
The Laboratory of Environmental and Energy Design of Buildings and Settlements aims at the specialization of engineers in subjects of environmental design and renewable energy sources (RES) applications in buildings and settlements and on issues of sustainable design. The laboratory is supported by specialized software (e.g. TAS-EDSL, Design Builder, Energy Plus, ANSYS, ENVI-met), energy and thermal measurement equipment (e.g. thermometers, anemometers covering a range of different air velocity speeds, thermal cameras, thermal flux sensors, exhaust gas analyzers, light sensors), pyranometers, reflectivity measuring instruments, thermal comfort meters, an energy autonomous test cell with PV and a small power wind turbine (ZED-KIM), PV array with sun monitoring system.
The members of the Lab have extensive know-how in the field of environmental and energy design of buildings, energy measurements and audits, energy simulations, environmentally friendly structures and bioclimatic design of outdoor spaces. They have been actively involved in the transposition of the EPBDirective into the national legislation and have participated in the Scientific Committees for the Development of the Technical Guides to support the “Building Energy Efficiency Regulation (KENAK)”, the revision of the KENAK and the recast of the EPBD in Cyprus for the definition of the nearly zero-energy residence buildings. The academic staff of the Lab participates as coordinator (“Towards Zero Energy Hospitals in the Balkan Region (ZenH) (Interreg-Med Balkan), AIRinSTRUCT (FP5)”), as a Scientific Responsible (Culture Dipole in the Interreg Greece-Bulgaria programme, SSHORT, PRECis, EUBART in FP5 ) and as a researcher in numerous European and national programs.
The staff of the Laboratory is Professor A. Dimoudi (Laboratory Director) and Associate Professor S. Zoras. Lab’s research work is supported by postgraduate students, doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers.
