Aerosol detection in HVAC duct components is a critical component of contaminant detection and analysis. Incorrect placement of a sensor inlet within the…
There is a need to improve the accuracy of infrared thermography for measuring the temperature distribution of building exterior surfaces. Thermography is…
Windcatchers are roof mounted devices that use the action of the wind to provide top down natural ventilation to a room. Here, fresh air is channelled into…
In this paper, a review is made of the adaptive thermal comfort model. This is then applied and compared with the performance of the conventional thermal…
Hybrid ventilation represents an interesting option both to guarantee good air quality for indoor environments and to reduce the energy consumption related…
Nowadays many people spend most of their time indoors, so the quality of indoor air has significantly impacted human health and comfort. The purpose of the…
Stratum ventilation is a recently proposed air distribution system. It works by creating a layer of fresher air in the occupants' breathing zone. This is…
Ventilation systems are primarily designed for ensuring good indoor air quality (IAQ). However, building energy requirements tend to put demand on reducing…
Hybrid ventilation systems combine the superior properties of natural and mechanical ventilation systems to reduce energy consumption. In this study, hybrid…
Distributed demand control ventilation (DDCV) has shown potential for improving both indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy consumption over conventional…
Mixing and displacement ventilation are common systems in commercial buildings, while mixing ventilation is used in residential buildings. Displacement…
Nowadays, the ceiling slot diffuser is very popular in offices. However one of the problems, for the producer and designer of linear diffusers,…
There are various demands for air-conditioning in each office space resulting from the variability of thermal distribution caused by a bias of heat sources…
