This study evaluated various ventilation strategies for efficiently removing house dust in the indoor environment. Experiments and simulations were…
This paper discusses the potential of passive cooling techniques for Malaysian modern houses with the aim of reducing air-conditioning usage. A full-scale…
Thermal comfort and indoor air quality (IAQ) play a vital role in creating a pleasant and healthier indoor environment for occupants. The supply air…
The performance of stratum ventilation, a recently developed ventilation strategy, is assessed in terms of thermal comfort and indoor air quality using…
The results of this investigation revealed the airflow distribution from a new design of supply diffuser under non-isothermal conditions. To illustrate the…
The Aluminerie Alouette Inc. (AAI) smelter in northern Quebec, Canada recently completed a major plant expansion that includes a new casthouse for the…
If inhaled, welding fumes can be harmful to health, thus exposure must be controlled. A commonly used method of control is local exhaust ventilation (LEV)…
Much attention is given to the consequences of airborne particles on human health and well-being. Wear is one source of airborne particles and contributions…
A planned new train tunnel under the central parts of Stockholm was intended to be ventilated by natural ventilation and the movement of the trains. However…
In a simple single-zone building with two openings under an opposing wind, a macroscopic theoretical analysis of smoke flow direction and smoke mass flow…
Tracer gas techniques have been the most appropriate experimental method of determining airflows and ventilation rates in houses. However, current trends to…
This paper reviews the application of CFD for designing and parametric studies of wind-induced natural ventilation. The approaches employed in such…
In naturally ventilated environments, indoor temperatures are directly related to the air circulation and conditions of the built environment. Taking…
There is a growing desire to reduce peak temperatures within non-domestic buildings by accessing the thermal mass of separating floors. These floors are…
In contrast to mechanical ventilation, natural ventilation's performance is usually impacted by uncertain factors, including wind fluctuations, outside air…
Application of the principle of the balance of mechanical energy gives a constraint on the possible values of the junction coefficients at a duct system…
Investigations were carried out into the airflow in a non-unidirectional airflow cleanroom and its affect on the local airborne particle cleanliness. The…
This paper describes the transient ventilation of two interconnected rooms. One of them has a negative buoyancy source located at ceiling level, similar to…
It has been found that, among the tools and methods available for the energy calculation of double envelope elements, there are some debatable aspects such…
The governing equations in duct system flow analyses are nonlinear, and iterative solution methods must be used. A suitable initial flow rate guess may be…
