In order to determine the optimal combination of the heating source equipments in an existing office building, simulations of six different…
Building use modes are important for energy consumption simulation. But few research concerns building use modes, such as people behavior of …
A liquid desiccant fresh air processor is presented whose driven force is low-grade heat (65~70℃ hot water). Inside the processor, the desired…
In the internally-cooled liquid desiccant dehumidifier (ICLDD), cooling medium is introduced to carry away the vaporization latent heat, which…
Occupant evacuation dynamics is a kind of manybody system of strongly interacting persons. A great deal of factors should be taken into account in…
Considering the dynamic control process of thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) and adjustement behavior of consumers, as well as heat transfer…
Personal displacement ventilation (PDV) is a new ventilation concept that intends to combine the positive features of displacement ventilation…
Definition of heating/cooling capacity ratio (HCR) of the heat pump air conditioner has been put forward in this study, and the relationship…
At room temperatures ranging from 28 to 35°C, three sensitive body parts were each exposed to local cooling airflow. Dressed in shorts, 30…
This investigation of the window opening data from extensive field surveys in UK office buildings investigates 1) how people control the indoor…
