CFD simulations were conducted to assess turbulent forced convection heat transfer and pressure drop through a ventilation channel using a stack of panels with different ridge configurations contai

As UK homes are insulated and draught proofed in an attempt to reduce wintertime heating demand they become more airtight.

Air infiltration holds a central role in building energy consumption and is associated to several building physics phenomena.

This paper aims to present the elaboration of a device able to modify the airtightness of a test House.

Ventilation systems play an important role in providing a good indoor air quality in dwellings.

This paper introduces a comparison study of measuring the airtightness of a house sized test chamber using the novel pulse technique and the standard blower door method in a controlled environment.

Nearly all retail locations use mechanical cooling systems to ensure indoor comfort temperatures and mechanical ventilation to ensure adequate air exchange, primarily for hygienic reasons.

It has already been proven that a large portion of the energy consumption gap between simulations and reality is due to the occupant behaviour in buildings.
