It is difficult to design indoor environment under natural ventilation because there is insufficient knowledge to evaluate the effect of the natural…
In Korea, all residential buildings adopt floor- heating systems for indoor thermal comfort. And the ratio of multi-family houses exceeds 50%. Lately…
More than 8.000 homes have been built to the Passivhausstandard in central Europe. The success of Passivhaus is due in large measure to it being a well…
A study was performed in 6 elementary schools in Japan,and measurements were made on temperature in classrooms and corridors, outdoor temperature, CO2…
The present paper deals with the experimental analysis and monitoring of the energy and environmental performanceof a green roof system installed in two…
The use of windows is a key adaptive opportunity in naturally ventilated buildings especially in summer when the building is likely to be free-running. In…
In Part 1, the changes in wind pressure coefficient distributionon the surfaces of the buildings when building coverage is varied are evaluated and…
Multi zone computer simulation is used to predict the concentrations of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and water vapour in a flat and…
Temperature, relative humidity, pressure difference across the floor and microbial concentrations were investigatedin the four buildings which had either…
Regular air tightness and infiltration measurements were performed in forty houses, in the area of Attica, Greece. Two measurement methods were used, the…
The performance of natural, mechanical and hybrid ventilation systems was monitored, using the tracer gas decay method, in three typical apartment buildings…
This study examines air quality measured in two classroomsin a UK school, which uses two different forms of natural ventilation, over an eight month period…
The objective of this research consists of studying the effectiveness of devices used in the microbiological purification of the air. This specifically…
It has been widely recognised that too few projects initiatedunder both national as well as EU funded research projects find their way to commercial…
The integration of research outputs on the cross ventilation is tried in order to quantify the reduction of cooling energy, by raising the stepwise…
For a high density city, given the need to accommodate a fix amount of building volume, what can one do to optimise the benefits of the natural (air)…
The growing energy consumption for cooling of buildingsis one important concern in Mediterranean countries.Natural ventilation plays an important role as…
It has been investigated the effect of different construction parameters to the thermal performance of a solar chimney.These parameters are the thermal…
Automated living and working environment is becominga commonly used service. The present paper deals with a dynamically automated control of shading in…
Wind speed characteristics in the centre of a city differthan the ones in its suburban. Street canyon effects result in weak airflows in the centre of…
