Recent studies have demonstrated the influence that air jets in rooms ventilated by chilled beams have on draught-related thermal sensation. The most…
This paper presents the preliminary findings from the first stage of a physical survey and modelling case study conducted to obtain modelled and actual…
A number of methods have been used to quantify the cooling effects of air movement on the human body. For simplicity these methods limit the number of…
The UK climate is moderately mild and natural ventilation by window opening and passive ‘trickle’ vents is very common. In this paper the natural…
Roof thermal performance is one of the most important factors for achieving indoor thermal comfort in a tropical house designed for natural cross…
Convective heat and mass transfer through large internal openings play an important role in the aero-thermal behaviour of buildings. These phenomena become…
The airflow rate of a building ventilated by wind is usually predicted by using the wind pressure coefficients obtained for a sealed building and discharge…
Effective planning of building ventilation, whether passive or mechanically assisted, requires detailed information about external air temperature. This…
The advantage of conventional personalized ventilation (PV) is to considerably improve the fresh air percentage near PV air terminal devices (ATDs). However…
The UK Building Regulations regarding the provision of openings to promote natural ventilation of dwellings were modified in 2006 and, with the increased…
Hong Kong’s climate is sub-tropical. It has hot and humid weather during summer and more temperate weather during the winter. The façade accounts for more…
The well-known case of a simple naturally ventilated building with two openings, uniform internal temperature and opposing wind and buoyancy forces is re-…
