Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Armijos Moya, T.E. (author), Konstantinou, T. (author)The implementation of Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (NZEB) renovation packages in Europe needs to be accelerated to meet the current decarbonization goals. To achieve this level of performance, building renovation strategies should shift towards solutions that incorporate a multitude of passive and active components, increasing the complexity...journal article 2023

de la Barra Luegmayer, P. (author), Luna-Navarro, Alessandra (author), Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Vásquez, Claudio (author), Knaack, U. (author)Several studies performing building simulations showed that the automated control of façades can provide higher levels of indoor environmental quality and lower energy demand in buildings, in comparison to manually controlled scenarios. However, in several case studies with human volunteers, automated controls were found to be disruptive or...journal article 2022

Koyaz, Mine (author), Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Ünlü, Aslıhan (author), Knaack, U. (author)Adaptive façades are multifunctional systems that are able to change their functions, features, or behaviour over time in response to changing boundary conditions or performance requirements. As one of the significant developments in the façade industry over the last decade, the adaptive façade offers an intelligent solution that can decrease...review 2022

Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Oldenhave, M.M. (author)The concept of sustainability has risen in the last three decades, as a vehicle to guide our efforts to overcome major environmental and societal challenges such as global warming and environmental degradation. The built environment is responsible for about 40% of the global CO2 emissions, a fact that has led to countless debates, approaches,...conference paper 2021

Koukelli, Christina (author), Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Așut, Serdar (author)The paper explores the potentials of shape memory alloys (SMAs) for the design of autoreactive façade systems without using additional external energy. The exploration is conducted and assessed through the design of a façade concept for the city of Athens in Greece, aiming to improve both the indoor and outdoor environment by means of a kinetic...journal article 2021

Veeger, M.I.A. (author), Ottele, M. (author), Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author)Increased urbanisation will put an increasing strain on our green spaces, which is expected to have a significant effect on our physical and mental health, as well as the health of our ecosystems. As such it is important to integrate more green spaces in our urban fabric. One way of doing this is by making use of so-called bioreceptive concrete...journal article 2021

Talaei, Maryam (author), Mahdavinejad, Mohammadjavad (author), Azari, Rahman (author), Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Sangin, Hamed (author)As a state-of-the-art green façade technology, building-integrated microalgae bioreactor has the potential to reduce buildings’ carbon footprint and energy consumption. The present study aims to address the knowledge gap in the energy and daylighting performance of algae photobioreactor façade. The paper first studies the effects of algae...journal article 2021

Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Oldenhave, M.M. (author)The aesthetic of our built environment is perceived as an important aspect to consider for the design of human-centred cities, but a problem quickly arises in the presence of clashing conceptions of what we understand to be aesthetically pleasing. This paper adds to this discussion, by exploring architects' aesthetic preferences in façade design...journal article 2021

Veeger, M.I.A. (author), Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Ottele, M. (author)A bioreceptive material allows for biological content (biofilms) to grow on it, without necessarily affecting the material itself. If a bioreceptive concrete could therefore be integrated into a building façade, it could lead to green façades that do not need additional technical systems. As part of previous research by the authors, a promising...journal article 2021

Mustafa, K.F. (author), Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Ottele, M. (author)Bio-receptivity refers to the aptitude of a material to allow for the natural growth of small plant species on stony surfaces with minimum external influence. Despite the numerous associated environmental benefits, the growth of mosses and lichens on facades has always been viewed as a negative phenomenon due to the random and shabby growth...journal article 2021

Heesbeen, C. (author), Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author)The circular economy is a widely accepted concept that various governments have started to adopt. Still, a major consumer of resources, the construction industry, struggles to implement business models that answer to the opportunity and generate value beyond economical. At the same time, the industry is at a threshold of intensifying their...journal article 2020

Felimban, Ahmed Abdulazeem (author), Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Knaack, U. (author), Klein, T. (author), Qaffas, Yasser (author)In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), residential buildings' energy consumption accounts for almost 50% of the building stock electricity consumption. The KSA's economy relies heavily on fossil fuel sources, namely oil reservoirs, whose depletion will negatively affect the future development of the country. The total electricity consumption is...journal article 2019

Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Knaack, U. (author), Auer, Thomas (author), Klein, T. (author)Increasing cooling demands in the built environment call for innovative technical solutions and systems for application in buildings. Cooling loads represent an important share of the total energy consumption in warm climates, especially in commercial and office buildings. Moreover, mechanical systems will still be needed in most cases to cope...review 2019

Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Knaack, U. (author), Auer, Thomas (author), Klein, T. (author)Cooling demands of commercial buildings present a relevant challenge for a sustainable future. They account for over half of the overall energy needs for the operation of an average office building in warm climates, and this situation is expected to become more pressing due to increasing temperatures in cities worldwide. To tackle this issue, it...journal article 2018
