01 | BIOCLIMATIC STUDY FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THE

VIOFAL OLD INDUSTRIAL BUILDING IN ILION, GREECE

FEBRURARY 2007 The study was conducted for the participation in a tender for the renovation of the existing building, the addition of new spaces and the conversion into mixed-use building. It includes interventions and proposals to optimize natural lighting and cooling, shade the openings, design bioclimatic landscaping and ensure thermal comfort conditions inside the building

02 | ENERGY STUDY FOR THE RESTORATION OF ATHONIAS

ACADEMY IN MOUNT ATHOS, GREECE

FEBRURARY 2007 The energy study proposes interventions that do not alter the character of the building. We studied the utilization of natural light, the transversal ventilation and cooling, the shading of Doxato (covered walkway) and the energy behavior of the whole building. Also proposed the storage and use of rainwater.

03 | BIOCLIMATIC DESIGN STUDY FOR THE PUBLIC SPACE ARROUND LOUTRAKI CULTURAL CENTRE, GREECE
JUNE 2009 Both bioclimatic and architectural interventions were proposed, aimed at improving the thermal comfort of the public space and its functional integration in the urban fabric. The study includes cool paving materials, planting with bioclimatic criteria, use of green materials, protection from cold winds, shading constructions and water elements.

04 | BIOCLIMATIC DESIGN STUDY FOR A SCHOOL COMPLEX IN THE ISLAND OF RHODES, GREECE
FEBRURARY 2010 The study focuses on natural lighting and shading through classroom orientation, awnings, ensuring adequate natural light, designing skylights and avoiding glare. The design also provides transversal natural ventilation and cooling in almost all spaces. The courtyard was planted in such a way as to protect from cold winds and provide shading by deciduous trees.

05 | BIOCLIMATIC DESIGN FOR A NEW NURSERY BUILDING IN

KRYONERI, GREECE
FEBRURARY 2012 The building was studied from the outset under the rules of bioclimatic design. The layout and shape, the orientation, the placement of openings, awnings, and even planting was shaped in such a way that the conditions and requirements for thermal and visual comfort in and around the nursery are met.
