The quality of indoor environments influences satisfaction, health, and work performance of occupants. Additional understanding of the theoretical and…
Longitudinal ventilation is a common technique for smoke management during a fire accident within tunnels. In this paper, fire and smoke movement behaviour…
A common room-heating technique involves the use of a wall-mounted radiator without forced convection. The cold surrounding air passes adjacent to the warm…
Electric fans used for cooling or local ventilation are common household appliances around the world, especially in developing countries. They offer many…
In this paper, the numerical and experimental performance of a new Thai Modern Façade (TMF) are investigated. Two configurations were considered namely, the…
This paper reports on research to analyze the indoor air quality (IAQ) and the concentration and varying patterns of CO2, formaldehyde and TVOC in…
The aim of this study was to determine the concentration of Legionella pneumophila in the surface dust of the air ducts of central air…
A heat recovery ventilator (HRV) is used to create a balanced ventilation system in residential buildings and as an energy-saving measure. HRVs bring in…
Nowadays, there is increasing construction of high-rise buildings. Stack effect is one of the airflow characteristics in this type of tall buildings. The…
Previous studies on single-sided natural ventilation are mostly limited to very simple physical models, such as a single-room or single-storey building. Our…
One of the most commonly used strategies to reduce the heating demand in low energy buildings is reducing the leakage level of the building envelope.…
Emergency Temporary Housing units consisting of a light-gauge steel brace construction were built following the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11,…
Indoor temperature and humidity conditions as well as CO2 and airborne mould concentrations were measured in four manor schools in the Estonian cold…
Stack ventilation systems were installed in German schools constructed around 1900 and are no longer in operation. The aim of this study was to show how…
Occupants spend a significant amount of time indoors where temperature and air quality has an important impact on their comfort, health and work performance…
Door operation and the subsequent passage of occupants through the doorway can cause containment failures in hospital isolation rooms. Typically hinged…
Exposure to air pollution from both outdoor and indoor origins can cause a myriad adverse health effects including cardiovascular and respiratory diseases,…
This paper investigates thermal sensation in an air conditioned space with and without a water source such as a water pond and small fountain in Thailand.…
A literature study is presented on the theories and models dealing with buoyancy-driven ventilation in rooms. The models are categorised into four types…
Vehicular air conditioning systems are directly affected by the ducts and fans of the ventilation system. This paper presents an experimental study of the…
