Nowadays, due to climate change, heatwaves become stronger in terms of frequency and intensity. This phenomenon can have serious impact on the indoor…
Building ventilation demand increased during the “new normal” following the Covid-19 pandemic. Rather than completely renovating existing HVAC equipment, it…
In recent years, earth-to-air heat exchanger (EAHE) systems, which is a method of pre-cooling and pre-heating outdoor air with earth-to-air heat, have been…
The accurate estimation of the local wind pressure coefficient is crucial in the numerical modeling of natural or mixed ventilation in buildings subjected…
The progressive increase in the global average outdoor air temperature has caused an increase in the cooling demand in buildings in recent years. Given this…
This study investigates the impact of lowering temperature setpoints on occupants' thermal comfort in office buildings, prompted by government initiatives…
Sea Water Air Conditioning (SWAC) is a highly efficient alternative to conventional air conditioning that uses deep seawater as a cooling source (Free…
Elderly people residing in nursing homes spend a vast majority of their times indoors and often in common recreation areas, to allow for socialization and…
In office buildings, an air-conditioning system with natural ventilation can reduce cooling loads and create a comfortable indoor environment. However, it…
Since the spread of covid-19 in 2019, it is necessary to realize an indoor environment that takes measures against viral infections such as covid-19 and…
The utilization of natural ventilation helps to reduce building energy consumption and improve indoor air quality. In the urban area, the performance of the…
Air-supplied ceiling radiant air conditioning is expected to become more popular in Japan in the future because there is no leakage from pipes and no…
Computational predictions of buildings' indoor-environmental conditions and energy performance would presumably benefit from the inclusion of models that…
One proposed mitigation to reduce transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and other airborne pathogens is to increase ventilation in buildings. This measure…
Monitoring and regulating the air quality inside critical infrastructure is essential for protecting occupants from external and internal airborne threats,…
Most current building materials are industrially processed, resulting in increased carbon emissions. Global annual carbon emissions due to construction…
The quality of indoor air in buildings depends on many factors. Some of these factors have internal sources, and some have external sources. The internal…
Nowadays, people spend most of their time indoors. Homes, offices, leisure and workplaces must meet people’s needs and provide safe, healthy and productive…
Open offices, where more than one person works, have been used frequently in recent years. However, there are many studies on the efficiency of the indoor…
The main task of every ventilation system is to dilute and extract pollutants from indoor air, most importantly in occupied space. This is usually achieved…
