Internal pressure coefficients in a building with wind-driven cross-ventilation caused by sliding window openings on two adjacent walls are presented and…
Measurements of indoor air pollutants covering the concentrations of CO2, CO, TVOC’s, PM2.5, and PM10 were performed in 50 residences in Athens. In addition…
There is a wide range of factors that influence natural ventilation. The uncertainties arising from theunpredictable nature of wind lead to the need to…
The transmission of SARS in high rise residential buildings in Hong Kong has highlighted the importance of indoor environmental quality. One of the…
Indoor microbial exposure has been implicated in various adverse health effects. This study aimed toexamine the effects of ventilation efficiency on indoor/…
This paper attempts to look at the unsteady flow pressure on the blade tip in order to quantify the inception of instability of an axial-flow ventilation…
Natural ventilation, as a medium for air exchange between the indoor and outdoor environment, is known for its functions of providing outdoor ‘fresh’ air…
Cross ventilation is one of the most important techniques for achieving energy conservation and for
maintaining a comfortable indoor environment in hot…
Numerical simulations and computational fluid dynamics can be usefully integrated with architecturalmodelling to provide designers with a powerful single…
Even if there is only one opening within a room and there is no temperature difference between the inside outside, the room will be ventilated by the…
The objective of this study is to investigate how measured ventilation rates in dwellings vary over the heating season in a Nordic climate. The aim is to…
Underfloor air distribution (UFAD) is a new method of supplying heated or cooled air throughout a building. Reported advantages of UFAD include energy…
Thermal mass, including the building envelope, the interior partition, the furnishing, or even the air inside building, is defined as the mass that can…
This paper presents results of CFD simulations of flow around and through a cubic building with symmetric openings on two opposite sides. The case where the…
In this paper experimental results are used to verify and validate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model based on a commercial package. The validation…
Growing concern about negative effects on the environment and increasing energy prices stress theimportance of energy efficiency. Support processes such as…
Macroscopic methods of building ventilation analysis developed in the past fifty years have proven to be accurate and thus useful for purposes of single-…
The amount of outdoor air ventilation in buildings is one of the most important determinants of indoor air quality, but many critical questions and…
The design protocol for wind-driven cross ventilation in buildings should include two processes, namely the determination of required ventilation rate to…
Passive cooling by cross-ventilation has been considered to be a key technology for reducing cooling requirements. While various applications have been…
