Buildings 2020+. Constructions, materials and installations

Dorota Anna Krawczyk (Editor)

This book was developed by a group of teachers and scientists from Bialystok University of Technology (Poland), the University of Cordoba (Spain) and Vilnius College of Technologies and Design (Lithuania) working within the VIPSKILLS project (Virtual and Intensive Course Developing Practical Skills of Future Engineers) Erasmus+ 2016-1-PL01-KA203-026152. The continual development of technologies, changing requirements in law regarding standard of new buildings’ constructions reshapes European cities. The book explores relations between architecture, environmental and civil engineering. Collaboration in a process of buildings’ design and construction is extremely important for further proper operation and thermal comfort of users, as well as achieving low energy consumption and good indoor air quality.

Buildings 2020+. Energy sources

Dorota Anna Krawczyk (Editor)

In the last decades, significant energy market changes have been observed. Along with improvements within the building structure and systems leading to reduction of energy consumption, there have been introduced a relevant modification in the global energy sources balance. Fossil fuels have been displaced by different kinds of alternative energy sources. New technologies have been applied that allow to make heating, cooling, hot and electricity systems much more efficient and environmentally friendly. In this book we show the development of renewable energy sources. We present several examples of technologies using solar, wind, geothermal energy as well as systems using biomass or cogeneration. The book was developed by a group of teachers and scientists from Bialystok University of Technology (Poland), the University of Cordoba (Spain) and Vilnius College of Technologies and Design (Lithuania) working within the VIPSKILLS project (Virtual and Intensive Course Developing Practical Skills of Future Engineers) Erasmus+ 2016-1-PL01-KA203-026152.

Future of the city

Dorota Gawryluk, Dorota Anna Krawczyk (Editors)

The future of the city is the point of interest of many researchers in different disciplines, and also other groups like citizens, state administration, producers, engineers of various industries, designers and contractors. The monographe “The Future of the City” is the result of scientific cooperation between lectures and researchers from three European universities: Bialystok University of Technology (Poland), Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (Spain) and Klaipedos Valstibine Kolegija (Lithuania).

Innovations - Sustainability - Modernity - Openness. Energy. Tom 40

Dorota Anna Krawczyk, Iwona Skoczko, Ewa Szatyłowicz (red.)

Nowadays, issues connected with a reduction of energy consumption in the development of systems using renewable energy consumption are crucial in both scientific studies and industrial use. In this book we show results of the analysis of different energy sources in single family houses. Advantages and disadvantages of systems with heat pumps, solar collectors and gas boilers, depending on their location, are discussed. Pros and cons were analysed from technical, ecological and financial sides. Moreover, the possibility to design installations using a modern BIM technology is presented in the example of a ventilation system. Another chapter shows different solutions regarding external walls dedicated for carbon zero kindergartens in Italy. Then, the influence of the primary energy factor of hydropower plants on the energy performance of buildings is discussed. Finally, legal aspects of air protection, in the context of air pollutants from fuels in Europe are presented.
