The paper gives an outline of existing modelling capabilities as well as an overview of current developments in integral modelling of hygrothermal…
In this paper the effects of atrium and other similar architectural design features (e.g. shafts) on ventilation efficiency are examined in a multi-storey…
Direct and indirect measuring techniques are available for determination of ventilation rate in naturally ventilated buildings. Direct measuring methods…
There are many research works for the moisture buffering effect of the building materials. However, there are few reports for the moisture buffering of the…
Building materials and furnishing used in contact with indoor air have some effect to moderate the variations of indoor humidity in occupied buildings. Very…
The commercial general - purpose Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code PHOENICS is used to study the indoor environmental conditions of a large,…
Cross ventilation is one of the most important techniques for achieving energy conservation and for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment in summer.…
This study considers the link between tertiary buildings design and equipments known as natural and hybrid ventilation or cooling. It focuses on the case of…
This study investigates numerically the occurrence and duration of higher relative humidities in a cold attic space, which are a consequence of excessive…
An on-line mathematical approach was used to model the spatio-temporal temperature distribution in an imperfectly mixed forced ventilated room. A second…
In the recent past, residential buildings in temperate climates were ventilated by the daily opening of windows and by exaggerated window and door…
This paper presents simulation results of the performance of ventilation systems with self-regulating inlets in different types of typical Flemish dwellings…
This article describes five blower door measurements – each made with a different objective – carried out on large buildings. Proof of air tightness is…
