6. Integración de captación activa y pasiva en viviendas unifamiliares de emprendimientos inmobiliarios

Abstract This study analyses the possibility of achieving negative energy demands in single-family housing (Plus-Energy House). Through the integration of energy efficiency measures jointly with active solar systems, it is possible to obtain high performance energy models. In order to demonstrate this, we performed energy simulations integrating active solar
