This paper considers an ideal naturally ventilated building model that allows a theoretical study of the effect of thermal mass associating with the non-…
The quality of indoor environment in dwellings is provided by physical properties of building constructions and by operation of HVAC-systems. From the point…
It is well understood that there are many sick professional buildings in use all over the world. Most of them are sited in or near the center of large…
In this paper, a literature survey on rectangular and round ventilation ducts is presented. The comparison is based on two important aspects: pressure drop…
This study investigates the behavior of vapor in a ventilated room in which vapor is being produced. A test chamber equipped with three types of ventilation…
Nowadays the awareness concerning the environmental pollution and the demand of transparent facades in architecture, lead research in finding new solutions…
Measurements of wind speed and wind direction, air temperature inside and outside an urbancanyon also infrared radiation in buildings have been measured on…
The use of hypochlorite for water disinfection is source of chloramines production, which are transferred to the atmosphere.Nitrogen trichloride (NCl3) is…
In order to save energy for building cooling during hot days in regions with cool nights, air circulation throughout the interior of the building has been…
The main goal of the present study was to determine thermal comfort parameters for dwellers of low-cost houses for a given set of indoor environmental…
The applicability of natural ventilation depends strongly on climate. The potential of natural ventilation represents a measure of the feasibility of…
Noise measurements were made at 10 locations in ‘canyon’ streets in Athens with aspect ratio (height/width) varying from 3:1 to 1:1. The main purpose of the…
The mitigation to reduce indoor pollutant concentration are increasing ventilation rate or to reduce the emission of the pollutant which is also common in…
This paper presents the results of a field study on five HVAC duct systems in France. The principal objectives of this work were a) to evaluate the extent…
The aim of this paper is to explain the results of a research project run in Yildiz Technical University which focuses on the optimum building envelope…
In moderate climates, one promising feature to reduce the energy demand of office buildings for air conditioning without reducing comfort is passive cooling…
An energy balance over an urban area and over a rural one, reveals that the first case is always more complex than the last one. The urban context is able…
Material properties, water vapor permeability, sorption/suction isotherm and moisture diffusivity, are prerequisite for application of all hygrothermal…
To evaluate innovations and efficiency as regards air-conditioning, it is necessary to know for how long and in which conditions the equipment functions, an…
The indoor environmental quality of a building is intended as the thermal, visual, acoustic and indoor air quality performances as a whole, which provide…
