Designing for natural ventilation became permissible across an extended range of climate zones in 2004 with the incorporation of an adaptive model into…
A simulation study on the reduction of cooling loads by utilizing cross-ventilation was performed for a typically shaped house as defined by the…
Recently, natural ventilation, which is a traditional cooling method in Japan, has become considered as the key method for cooling energy conservation. The…
Solar chimneys may provide enough ventilation to buildings when properly designed. Although many design tools, theoretical models and experimental studies…
In the light of global environmental problems, it is vital for buildings to conserve energy and make use of natural energies. Natural ventilation is one…
This paper reports on the measurement results of ventilation rates in existing occupied houses in the northern region of Japan. A total of 61…
It is not unusual to face moisture problems in buildings in cold climates and wet regions. It is, however, unusual to have the same problem in a relatively…
Air supply volumes and velocities in cleanrooms are monitored by airflow measuring hoods and anemometers but these measuring methods can be inaccurate if…
Air curtains are used to eliminate airflows through doorways (doorway tightness). In this paper the impacts of air circulation, jet discharge momentum…
An experimental study of annular jets with central aspiration is presented. Two flow regimes were studied for creating either local air conditioning or…
The impact of ventilation on indoor particulate pollution is highlighted by numerous studies. The aim of the present study is to examine the influence of…
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is evidently relevant to the study of fires, yet the intermediate chemistry has yet to be factored successfully into…
Emergency smoke ventilation for a uni-directional traffic road tunnel is studied using a CFD modelling approach. Fire scenarios in an uphill ramp for…
