As a cost-effective alternative to experiments, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can provide new insight in airflow patterns and the related convective heat transfer (CHT).

As part of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development’s (WBCSD) energy efficiency in building project, the authors have been involved in modelling various technology options for differe

In recent years, highly glazed atriums are favorable to architectural aesthetics and to taking advantage of daylighting and solar heating.

A model for simulating clusters of standing column wells (SCWs) for use in geothermal heating and cooling systems is described in this paper.

The study is placed within the context of local building regulations in India.

For the purpose of reducing the room air-conditioners’ energy consumption, an energy saving control method is proposed formerly.

The high importance of indoor environment performance aspects such as surface condensation, mold growth, thermal comfort, etc., is widely recognized.

Time of use (TOU) electricity metering involves dividing the day, the month and the year in to slots or bands, with generally higher rates at the peak loads and low tariff rates at o
