Journal Article
Mifsud, L., Pomponi, F., & Moncaster, A. M. (2020). Comparative life cycle analysis of façade passive systems in the Mediterranean: comfort, energy, and carbon. Renewable Energy, 149, 347-360. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2019.12.072

In the Mediterranean region façade shading systems are used to reduce operational energy, particularly cooling loads. However, operational savings do not necessarily translate into net energy savings unless they outweigh the embodied energy/carbon re...
