In hot and humid regions, cooling anddehumidification are important issues of inindoor environment. In this study, theevaluation of solar-assisted desiccant…
Reinforcement of air-tightness and thermalinsulation in the indoors leads to the declinein air-change rate. Moreover, due toincreased chemical substances on…
The quality of a hydronic energy system isinfluenced by supply and return temperatures.Instead of using the exergy term, a TEA(Temperature and Energy…
In residential district, it is difficult to setappropriate wind pressure coefficient for crossventilation design, because there are various andcomplex…
As a matter of national policy, we have tochallenge to save energy in residential sectorthat contribute to C02 emission because theKyoto protocol has talten…
The results of a recent research and it'sstatistical analysis, show that in some of theIranian cities like YAZD, there are two periods(from end of august to…
The objective of this study is to identify theeffects of mirror duct system on energy savingsfor luminaries. The results of the experimentsshowed that more…
