Ventilation efficiency under various heating and air-exhausting conditions : an experimental study. | 2002 | English
Measurements of wind speed and wind direction, air temperature inside and outside an urbancanyon also infrared radiation in buildings have been measured on summer 2001 in Athens, in fivedifferent urban canyons, in the frame of Urbvent project.
Modelling the effect of ventilated air cavities in the solvent prototype : a reversible solar screen glazing system . Preliminar results | 2002 | English
To evaluate the impact of the natural ventilation of the air cavity in the prototype of the glazing system being studied in the frame of the project SOLVENT, funded in part by the Commission of the European Union, a prototype of a reversible natur
Optimum building envelope design for visual, thermal and acoustical comfort conditions in the offices. | 2002 | English
The aim of this paper is to explain the results of a research project run in Yildiz Technical University which focuses on the optimum building envelope design for visual, thermal and acoustical comfort conditions in the offices placed in Istanbul
In conventional construction, the ventilation air enters a building through a combination of ‘desired’ pathways, via opened apertures, such as a window, vents, and ‘undesired’ pathways, via cracks such as around external openings, joints between b
Design, monitoring and evaluation of a low energy office building with passive cooling by night ventilation | 2002 | English
In moderate climates, one promising feature to reduce the energy demand of office buildings for air conditioning without reducing comfort is passive cooling by night ventilation.
This paper presents the results of a series of specially designed experiments to study moisture transport across bonded or natural contact interfaces between building materials.
About 100 office buildings in the Flanders and Brussels regions have been subject to a surveyof energy aspects and indoor climate parameters.
The combination of an open wet cooling tower with chilled ceilings is a CFC free, cheap and low energy cooling solution. The efficiency of this alternative to mechanical cooling is very dependent on climate.
This paper presents an approach to evaluate the sensitivity of a roof design to condensation problems, given the uncertainty to achieve continuity of airtightness in practice.
Reconstruction of late 19 th century building for new Slovene Ethnographic Museum is presented.
Technical procurement of demand controlled ventilation for dwellings based on performance specifications. | 2002 | English
Swedish dwellings often have mechanical ventilation with an almost constant air flow independent of variations in loads. The performance of these ventilation systems is often not satisfying. The occupant habits have changed e.g.
Integration of high environmental quality comfort requirements during the retrofitting of educational buildings. | 2002 | English
A important part of educational buildings must be retrofitted in many European countries, in the next years, for historical and demographic reasons.
Energy savings in multi-functional buildings : an historical context for a case study in Rome | 2002 | English
The historical headquarter of Italian Ministero degli Esteri (Ministry of External Affairs) in Rome named as "Palazzo della Farnesina" is a very large (about 700.000 m 3 of volume) and complex multi-functional building.The objective of present stu
Energy conservation represents a main concern for the environmental, economical and social problems. In this field, educational buildings are large consumer of energy and in many countries need retrofits.
Calculation of turbulent flow for building ventilation by means of jet profiles with regard to wall influences | 2002 | English
Basis of this work was the question of the formation of air flows in ventilated test rooms with regard to wall influences.
Winner of First Prize in the 2 nd Commonwealth Inter-school Design Competition organised by theCommonwealth Association of Architects (CAA), 1991. The winning design was a pair of houses with wind towers.
Enerkenn : web-based method to generate specific energy consumption data for evaluation and optimization of office building operation | 2002 | English
Insufficient concern about energy efficiency during the design and/or the operation of a building is the main reason for the high energy consumption of existing buildings.
The needle heat exchanger (acts as a pre filter EU3) was installed in front of the glass fiber used as a fine filter (EU7) in the supply air chamber.
Environmental assessment of energy conservation technologies for heating and ventilation - A case study - | 2002 | English
More than three quarters of all consumed energy in buildings are used for heating, ventilation and sanitary hot water preparation.
