SUSTAINABLE DESIGN OF A RESIDENCE WITH ATTACHED SOLAR GREENHOUSE IN THESSALONIKI, GREECE In this study of a residence with attached Solar Greenhouse in
and cooling techniques at the particular building. In order to
Thessaloniki, Greece, Energy Analysis has been conducted to as-
achieve better energy performance of the building, an optical trans-
sess the energy evaluation of the building’s existing condition and
mission of sunlight diffusion analysis was conducted in the build-
to estimate the energy upgrade of the building, calculating the con-
ing's existing transparent surfaces, resulting the replacement to
tribution of the attached Solar Greenhouse. In addition, a Solar
have both the desired thermal performance and optimal optical
Study has been conducted so it could be imprinted the energy
transmission of sunlight permeability resulting to less power con-
channeled to the building surfaces through solar radiation during
sumption during the diurnal operation of the building's lighting
the year, according to the climatic conditions of the region, in or-
systems.
der to study the performance and effectiveness of passive heating
