The efficiency of an exhaust system is especially important in a kitchen environment in which the exhaust is located at ceiling level. The capture…
Terrorist attack in buildings by chemical and biological agents (CBAs) is a reality in our lives. This study applies computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to…
The behaviour of particles in air flow is important for identifying those in various locations in ventilated space. The main reason for this study is to…
This paper examines the performance of a large new multi storey building which relies exclusively on natural ventilation. The building is designed to…
Data exchange is the process by which information is transferred between the engineer and software and between one piece of software and another. Building…
According to its location, thermal mass can be approximately classified into two types: external and internal. Internal thermal mass, such as furniture and…
To accurately estimate the natural wind driven ventilation potential of a specific low rise building in a densely shielded or built-up area under local wind…
This paper reports on a field investigation of the effect of screening on the induced flow rate in solar chimneys. The solar chimney considered here was a…
This paper investigates the effectiveness of a Purging System in a high-rise office building in Singapore with the aim of improving indoor air quality. The…
The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the main fluid mechanics parameters in the exit region of three different terminal systems commonly used for…
This paper reviews the flow network model based on power balance as applied to wind-induced cross ventilation in a residential building. The characteristics…
During the last two decades the significance of indoor environmental quality in buildings has been appreciated, not only in relation to thermal comfort, but…
