Real-time control of comfort in indoor spaces needs models of temperature distribution and the air velocity field. Complete models, based on CFD, give this…
The purpose of ventilation is to dilute indoor contaminants that an occupant is exposed to. In a multi-zone environment such as a house, there will be…
This paper addresses the process of optimising the benefits of the natural (air) environment in the case of a high density city in which the amount of…
Natural ventilation associated with shading techniques is an alternative way to reduce the use of expensive and environmentally harmful active systems,…
A methodology approach to simulate, by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools, a greenhouse equipped with a fan and pad evaporative cooling…
The important error sources associated with measurements using low velocity thermal anemometersincorporating an omnidirectional velocity sensor (LVTA) are…
Several building simulation programs have been developed for design, analysis and prediction of thedistribution of temperature, airflow and heat transfer…
In this study, the function of carbon dioxide as an index of indoor air quality and as a tracer gas to estimate the air exchange rate in naturally…
When the airflow pressure losses at the junctions of ducts in ventilation systems are taken into account, the analysis becomes more complicated since no…
Ventilation is essential for the health and comfort of building occupants. It is particularly required to dilute and/or remove pollutants emitted by…
The buildings sector is a major energy consumer as it accounts for almost 40% of the EU’s energy requirements and for about 1/3 of the total energy related…
Recent work has begun to consider the potential for using freeze flow techniques in Computational Fluid Dynamics programs for carrying out long term…
Established methods of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have been applied to predict the details of airflow, contaminant dispersal and thermal transport…
This paper presents steady-state energy and exergy analyses for dwelling ventilation with and without air-to-air heat recovery, and discusses the relative…
In recent years, the quest has been focused on energy efficient building design. To achieve this in terms of high efficiency air conditioning schemes for…
Passive cooling techniques such as night time cross ventilation can potentially provide substantial cooling energy savings in warm climates. The efficiency…
Localized ventilation systems typically create highly asymmetric or non-isothermal environments around occupants with significant vertical temperature…
Knowledge of ventilation rates in dairy buildings is essential for determining indoor air quality and for estimating green house gases and particle…
Ventilation, cooling and air-conditioning contribute significantly to the energy consumption of many existing office buildings, particularly when primary…
In order to provide comfort in a low energy consumption building, it is preferable to use natural ventilation rather than HVAC systems. To achieve this,…
