Night cooling is promoted worldwide as an effective tool to reduce refrigerative cooling demand. However it is clear that, as long as the potential for…
In France there is an increasing demand for energy efficient and environmentally friendly buildings of high thermal comfort. Balanced ventilation systems…
The purpose of this work is to present a study of the indoor environmental conditions of an office which is fully occupied and naturally ventilated by…
Sustainable architecture design for tropical climates requires the use of natural ventilation combined with other strategies including: the use of…
Cross ventilation to reduce cooling energy is one of the most important techniques for maintaining acomfortable indoor environment in hot and mild seasons.…
The present study investigates the effect of alteration in the building shape due to some common remodelling practice on the wind pressure differences delta…
Several studies have suggested that recommended ventilation rates are not being met within schools. However these studies have not included an evaluation of…
The present study is focused on the relation between wind speed and air temperature during the summer period over the greater Athens area. Specifically,…
Gas phase filters were installed within the air handling unit of a HVAC system feeding 100 % fresh(outdoor) air to an office building. The filter efficiency…
The natural ventilation of a building, flanked by others forming urban canyons and driven by the combined forces of wind and thermal buoyancy, has been…
Full-scale experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods were used to investigate the velocity and temperature fields in a mechanically…
This paper is not a technical paper but, instead, focuses on the methods by which information on recent advances in ventilation technology and systems may…
The requirements for good indoor air quality and energy efficiency have often been considered to be in conflict with each other. However, buildings with low…
