Risk of Overheating Analysis
02/a_Thermal Comfort Analysis
Student Accomodation, 376 Banbury Road, Oxford
The building has been modelled in IES software for potential overheating risk.Apache thermal calculations, which models typical annual air temperatures, which can be further broken down into hourly figures for the purposes of assessing compliances with the CIBSE Guide A overheating criteria.

Risk of Overheating Analysis
The dwellings rely on natural ventilation to cool the space when room temperatures exceed (23°C) and the outside temperature is less than the temperature inside. This has been applied to the model through a formula. The openable areas are limited and assigned as indicated in the provided drawings. There are 3 different types of window as per the following: -Upper windows of each room are fully openable; -Low level windows and fully height windows are openable with restrictors that limit the opening to 150 mm, 20 degrees angle; -Fixed windows;

03/a_Designing a Passivhaus building
Passivhaus Design, Faculty of Architecture, Construction and Computing, Academic year 2014
In order to meet the Passive House standards, first considerations have been made on the orientation of the building. So at the ground floor level there is a service toilet and the staircase facing north, whether an open space with kitchen and living room faces south. In order to get more daylight and heat during the day a balcony of 90 cm width has been located in the back of the house, facing south. To avoid overheat during the summer period there is a sliding shading system with a steel structure and bamboo sticks, which covers the south face of the building from the ground floor to the attic, and which enables to protect entirely the living spaces from the solar radiation.

03/b_Development of a novel solar panel
Dissertation, Graduate project, Faculty of engineering of Palermo, academic Year 2013-2014 1st hypothesis
2nd hypothesis 1- External glass shell surface 2- Glassblock side 3- Weld bead 4- Glaas shell 5- Interspace 6- Protruding fin 7- Internal surface
This work focuses on the evaluation of the effects of DSSC integration on glassblock optical behavior, taking into account each of the 3 above-presented hypotheses. The analyses were conducted by using the ray-tracing commercial software Zemax, which simulates the propagation of rays through an optical system and the effects of the presence of different objects (such as simple and aspheric lenses, mirrors, diffractive elements). The results can be read on the so-called “detector”, an absorbing film that records the power of the light rays remaining after having crossed the previous layers. Optical and solar transmittance, solar factor, sha-
ding coefficient – as defined in the standard UNI EN 410:2011, Determination of luminous and solar characteristics of glazing – and electric power have been analyzed. Different configurations of DSSC-integrated glassblock were analyzed and compared in order to identify the highest performing hypothesis in terms of both optical and electrical responses. Different results can be obtained by using more or less transparent DSSC modules or by modifying the active area of the module, in order to reach a wider range of solutions, which can allow the integrated glassblock adapting to diversified climate contexts and requirements.
