As the climate warms, the frequency and scale of extremely hot events are likely to increase. This study predicts overheating risk for the city of Sheffield…
Among passive strategies to reduce energy consumption in buildings, we focus on natural ventilation, which can bring an important decrease in temperature…
In this paper, predictive models are developed to enable the application of model predictive control (MPC) to naturally ventilated buildings. The essential…
Most controllers in Heating, Ventilation and Airconditioning (HVAC) applications remain the Proportional-Integral (PI) type. Poorly performing control loops…
Residential and commercial buildings use nearly 75% of the overall electrical energy in the U.S., and the amount of renewable energy in the grid keeps…
For building performance simulations of multiple buildings, varying objectives and data availability lead to different requirements for various model…
Where modern buildings are unable to maintain the internal environment to within comfort levels they often rely on mechanical systems to become habitable.…
Utilizing building performance feedback as part of the preliminary design process can suggest environmentally responsive strategies and inform subsequent…
In this research, we look for a control strategy of the electrochromic windows, depending on the measurement of the vertical outdoor illuminance and the…
An HVAC circuit is a collection of interconnected elements that can be modelled by interconnected blocks. Similar to electrical or hydraulic circuits…
In case of an accidental release of indoor airborne pollutants, it is critical to know information of the pollutant sources. Current inverse modeling…
The building industry nowadays is facing two major challenges – increased concern for energy reduction and growing need for thermal comfort. These…
Providing an adequate quantity of fresh, clean air to occupied areas of residential and public buildings is necessary for diluting indoor CO2, airborne…
Double skin façades (DSF), are typically composed by two transparent envelope elements separated by a ventilated airspace. Such a technology can be applied…
In this study, it is a purpose to grasp the effect of natural ventilation in the apartment house. This study targeted the apartment house of 14 floors.…
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the indoor thermal environment under the solar shading environment. In this report, it experimented in the room…
In this paper, we compared measurement results with the CFD analysis results using several of modeling methods for a four-way cassette type outlet. As a…
