The potential for evaporative cooling to meet Turkey’s growing cooling demand is investigated based on thermodynamics and human comfort. Weather and population data for 51 locations in Turkey were analyzed to estimate for each location the potential annua

A simplified method was investigated for estimating the dynamic pressure tangential to an opening (Pt) with Irwin’s surface wind sensor. The wind velocity measured by this sensor was broadly consistent with the value measured by a hot-wire anemometer. Mor

The solar façade of the FIAT Research Center (CRF) was realized recently near Turin in Italy, under cooperation between CRF and Politecnico di Milano. The photovoltaic elements, that has a total power of 19.5 kWp, produces electric energy, while the force

CA-SIS,Conditionnement d’Air - Simulation des Systèmes (Air Conditioning - System SImulation), software has been developed on PC as a tool for engineering offices in their Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning studies. Based on TRNSYS solver, its maj

A first question attendees from oversees may ask is: what is meant by building physics? In fact, the name is hardly used in the Anglo-Saxon and Roman countries. In Northern Europe instead, the indication building physics points to the discipline which covers all physical aspects of influence on building performance and building use. Three main fields of knowledge are involved: (1) heat and mass, (2) sound, (3) light. Energy for example belongs to the first. Room acoustics is part of the second. Day-lighting takes a big share in the third.
