The importance of adventitious air leakage under normal operational conditions and its reduction in order to save energy is highlighted by the relvant…
It still remains heat loss and high risk of moisture condensation occurrence at glass of window because they have relatively poor insulating qualities and…
An efficient thermal insulation of glazing or window frame is important because poor insulating performance usually cause the largest heat loss on any…
Accuracy in estimation of airflow through windows is the key parameter for modelling and designing of naturally ventilated buildings. The flow through…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of measuring position of air-tightness performance in Flat-type and Tower-type apartments. Air-…
The paper in hand investigates the potentials and limitations of ventilative cooling strategies in the moderate Central Europe climate region of Vienna,…
The global requirement to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions places an increased emphasis on reducing energy demand associated with dwellings.…
The work evaluates the applicability of façade-integrated ventilation systems in a Nordic climate. For this purpose the state of the art of façade-…
A new student accommodation for engineering students “Apisseq” was built in the town of Sisimiut, Greenland in 2010. Its purpose is not only to provide…
Previous studies have demonstrated that in summertime increased air velocities can compensate for higher room temperatures to achieve comfortable conditions…
The present study describes the potential improvement of summer comfort and reduction of energy consumption that can be achieved by adopting passive cooling…
Thermal comfort is a subjective term, closely related to the sensation of warm or cold for the occupants, defining the state of mind of humans that…
The need for thermal comfort and clean air for occupants in buildings or vehicles is vital since we spend more than 90% of our time inside these enclosed…
The existence of air leakages in a building has been very clearly stated as an important reason for energy loss. The decrease in the efficiency of the…
The Spanish Technical Building Code is one of the three royal decrees that were approved in Spain as a consequence of the transposition of the European…
The new Nicosia Town-hall is a very particular building. On the site where it is built, important antiquities were discovered during the first day of…
Low energy buildings, being highly insulated, are subject to important overheating risks. Thermal simulation as well as experimental studies have shown the…
Natural ventilation and dynamic temperature simulation of buildings was until now a priviledge of highly skilled building physicists. Combined…
