One of the major factors in HVAC design is the occupant load, both in terms of heat gains and fresh air needs.

This paper presents the results of a study performed to develop a computational model of cooling ceiling systems.

In museum buildings, air conditioning systems with precise thermal-hygrometric control of indoor environment are necessary for preventing degradation of artworks and providing a pleasant thermal en

In this paper, the environment and energy performance of an actual coupled earth tube and natural ventilation system in a gymnasium was measured during the post-acceptance step in two operation sta

In this work a numerical model, which simulates the buildings thermal response with complex topology and evaluates the indoor environment comfort, in transient conditions, is used in the energy and

Increasing insulation thickness may reduce the energy consumption and environmental load in building operation phase, but may also increase those in insulation production phase.

Currently, there is a high emphasis on reducing the energy consumption and carbon emissions of buildings worldwide.

Using a simulation application and a sample of five existing office buildings, we parametrically explored building features and measures that could improve the thermal performance of office buildin
