Dynamic simulation calculations were operated using TRNSYS software applied to a low energy house, fitted with a balanced mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery.
This paper presents the modeling of convective flows based on lattice Boltzmann methods in combination with a large eddy turbulence model. The used example is complex and three-dimensional.
For hospitals, air filtration is obviously a very important point in the control of nosocomial infections. A strategy and reference points are presented .
Natural convection in a heated vertical duct is studied in this paper.First experimental study and computer simulations were performed in a scaled down laboratory model. Then temperature fields and average temperatures were obtained at all levels of the multi-storey building.
Badly designed stables may affect the animals' health, but it is difficult to design a stable with acceptable ventilation rates and indoor comfort without the right tools or guidelines.For the design of animal housing facilities, the authors used the passive building simulation tool QUICK II, extended with a natural ventilation model, and an animal heat generation model.
This paper focuses on the degree of flow enhancement achieved by an atrium which is itself ventilated directly by a low-level connection to the exterior.A theoretical model is designed to predict the steady stack-driven displacement flow along with the thermal stratification in the building due to heat gains in the storey and solar gains in the atrium. Comparison is then made with the results of laboratory experiments
This paper aims at comparing calculated and measured air flow distributions inside a naturally ventilated test room. Wind tunnel trials were carried out in the test room.Separate air flow and thermal modelling programs are used to predict the spatial distribution of the air flow and thermal comfort.
Thanks to an environmental chamber equipped with a displacement ventilation system, neutral height measurements were carried out with the presence of a heated mannequin and other heat sources.The relationship between the neutral height for air distribution and the ventilation load in a room with displacement ventilation was investigated.
A new Adaptive Comfort Standard is included in the recently accepted revisions to Ashrae standard 55. That ACS permits warmer indoor temperatures for naturally ventilated buildings during summer and in warmer climate zones. It is based on the analysis of 21,000 sets of raw data compiled from field studies in 160 buildings located in different climatic zones on the 4 continents.
