Guerra Santin, O. (author)This research had the purpose of providing more information about possible approaches and indicators to measure indoor health in relation to housing. In researches related with health and some Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) databases, the model used for health assessment is the Impact Pathway Analysis adopted from Risk Assessment. It has the...conference paper 2006

Guerra Santin, O. (author)Buildings consume resources and produces emissions to the environment during their life cycle. They consume materials during their construction, maintenance and renovation activities, consume energy and water during their use, and produce waste at the end of their useful life. There are several sustainable building methods for environmental...conference paper 2008

Guerra Santin, O. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)In the Netherlands the energy consumption of new buildings is subject to performance based legislation, based on the Energy Performance Coefficient (EPC). The norm has been compulsory for almost 15 years, but only three surveys, one of them by the authors, were conducted to assess its effectiveness to reduce the actual energy use. The research...conference paper 2010

Visscher, H.J. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author), Guerra Santin, O. (author)Since a few years the attention for building regulatory systems and enforcement procedures is growing. Various developments in society, politics and the construction industry have influenced changes in the systems of building control in the last 20 years. The influence of climate change and the related demands on buildings will have a very...conference paper 2010

Guerra Santin, O. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author)Door de introductie van de EPC-regelgeving, de verbetering van constructiemethoden en van installatierendementen, wordt verwacht dat de verwarmingsenergie in woningen afneemt. Daardoor zou de invloed van bewonersgedrag op het energiegebruik steeds belangrijker worden. Dit artikel gaat in op de resultaten van statistische onderzoeken.journal article 2010

Guerra Santin, O. (author)The energy required for space heating has been significantly reduced in recent decades by making use of insulation and more efficient heating and ventilation systems. Even so, wide variations in energy consumption are still observed between similar dwellings and between actual and predicted levels. It is thought that these variations stem from...conference paper 2012

Guerra-Santin, O. (author), Itard, L. (author)Governments have developed energy performance regulations in order to lower energy consumption in the housing stock. Most of these regulations are based on the thermal quality of the buildings. In the Netherlands, the energy efficiency for new buildings is expressed as the EPC (energy performance coefficient). Studies have indicated that energy...conference paper 2012

Guerra Santin, O. (author), Silvester, S. (author), Konstantinou, T. (author)A number of second skin solutions have been developed in recent years to solve the problem of large scale renovation of housing. The 2ndSkin approach presented in this paper is currently under development by a consortium of academic and industry partners in the Netherlands. The objective of the 2ndSkin project is to develop a strategy for an...conference paper 2015

Cuerda, E. (author), Guerra Santin, O. (author), Neila Gonzalez, F.J. (author), Romero Herrera, N.A. (author)Recent research has shown large differences between the expected and the actual energy consumption in buildings. The differences have been attributed partially, to the assumptions made during the design phase of buildings when simulation methods are employed. More accurate occupancy profiles on building operation could help to carry out more...conference paper 2015

Konstantinou, T. (author), Klein, T. (author), Guerra Santin, O. (author), Boess, S.U. (author), Silvester, S. (author)Although refurbishment is a necessary step to reach the ambitious energy and decarbonisation targets for 2020 and 2050, which require an eventual reduction up to 90% in CO2 emissions, the rate of renovation is still relatively low. There is an increasing demand to upgrade both the physical condition and the performance of the building, with the...conference paper 2015

Konstantinou, T. (author), Guerra Santin, O. (author), Azcarate Aguerre, J.F. (author), Klein, T. (author), Silvester, S. (author)The ambition to renovate the post-war building stock to an energy-neutral quality is getting a lot of attention in social housing association and other institutional owners, financial institutions and users. The Energy Agreement for Sustainable Growth indicates that 300.000 dwellings have to be renovated in the Netherlands annually. An effective...conference paper 2017

Guerra Santin, O. (author), Silvester, S. (author)Building simulations are often used to predict energy demand and to determine the financial feasibility of the low-carbon projects. However, recent research has documented large differences between actual and predicted energy consumption. In retrofit projects, this difference creates uncertainty about the payback periods and, as a consequence...journal article 2017

Guerra Santin, O. (author), Boess, S.U. (author), Konstantinou, T. (author), Romero Herrera, N.A. (author), Klein, T. (author), Silvester, S. (author)Large differences between the expected and actual energy consumption have been found in energy efficient dwellings. Research has shown that these differences are partially caused by occupant behaviour. The financing and payback periods of low carbon technologies are often uncertain because of the impact of the occupants on building...journal article 2017

Romero Herrera, N.A. (author), Doolaard, J.M. (author), Guerra Santin, O. (author), Jaśkiewicz, T.J. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author)The energy and building research community acknowledges the importance of including occupants' wellbeing in the evaluation of building energy performance. Particularly in office buildings, occupants' comfort assessment is not yet a common practice, partially due to the shortcomings of the comfort assessment activities. Contextual factors such as...journal article 2018

(author)A number of facade solutions have been developed in recent years to solve the problem of large-scale renovation of housing. In the Netherlands, housing associations have the ambition to achieve an energy-neutral renovation approach, and so, some aim at energy neutrality. However, few address the complexity of multi-family rental dwellings and...journal article 2018
