This paper describes a re-analysis of internal pressure and building ventilation in a single-opening enclosure ventilated by winds. The dynamics of internal…
This study employed large-eddy simulation (LES) to investigate wind-driven single-sided natural ventilation for an idealized building model located in an…
A model tunnel (approximately ten hydraulic diameters) with different designs of the tunnel mouth has been placed in a wind tunnel and has been subjected to…
Although it has been used for many years in commercial buildings, the application of demand controlled ventilation in residences is limited. In this study…
This study copes with the problem of ventilation in existing educational environments in terms of indoor air quality (AIQ), comfort and energy consumption.…
The ‘Wind-Rain’ House, was designed by the New Zealand architect, Nigel Cook. First built in New Zealand in 1985 its design concept for indoor thermal…
Buildings represent the major energy consuming sector in India. Sustainable and climate responsive architecture offers possible solutions to this high…
This paper analyses the energy efficiency of a Ventilated Active Façade (VAF) applied to office buildings in Spain in comparison with conventional façades…
Natural ventilation of buildings is a design strategy for the passive cooling of buildings that can be considerably efficient if properly undertaken. In…
This study conducted investigations aimed at clarifying the differences in environmental control behaviour, thermal/air environments and pupils' thermal…
This paper presents a simplified modelling process by using experimental results to form empirical relationships for a particular novel windcatcher natural…
In order to ascertain the relationship between opening conditions and indoor airflow characteristics, case studies were conducted by performing CFD analysis…
The convective heat transfer coefficient around the human body is important for evaluating the effects that airflows exert on thermal comfort. However…
The issue of evaluating possible strategies for improving the building stock's energy and environmental performance is crucial. This applies to all…
Old buildings represent, in many countries, a great part of the existing building stock. In France this amounts to more than 30%. It is important that they…
This research concentrates on evaporative cooling, a sustainable and alternative way to cool a roof surface by taking advantage of the properties of porous…
European CEN Standard EN 15251 (2007) requires indoor thermal comfort conditions to be assessed and to fall within a category system for different levels of…
This paper presents an investigation into solutions for the system design of a centralized DCV system in multi-family dwellings. The design focused on…
In this paper, a long-term numerical study which examines the unique airflow pattern and the corresponding VOC distribution within a typical apartment…
Unlike cold climate regions, where natural ventilation is not preferred during winter, natural ventilation is always preferred in Hong Kong for cooling…
