Ventilation systems to minimize food odor spreading in high rise residentialbuildings | 2007 | English
A food odor spread is one of the air quality problems in high rise residential buildings in Korea. The food odor is mainly produced during the cooking of food. The food odor is generated in the limited spaces like in the kitchenand at a table.
Floor cooling and air-cooling, the effects on thermal comfort of different cooling systems | 2007 | English
One of the research areas of the Energy research Centreof the Netherlands (ECN) concerns the built environment.Several facilities to conduct research activitiesare at ECNs disposal.
Solar shading and ventilation patterns: to what extent are they accurate to comfort expectations? | 2007 | English
In temperate continental climates, the reduction of the solar radiation influence in summer season, over the comfort conditions of internal spaces, can only be achieved by natural means in two ways: one possibility is through occupants adjustments
In order to overcome the increasing energy demand in buildings and related environmental problems, new efficientenergy technologies and new integrated building concepts, like solar passive and mixed-weighted thermalmass buildings, are being develo
Supervisory control of an intelligent building in Greece using EIB – KONNEX technology for energy performance improvement | 2007 | English
The paper describes the design and control methods for many aspects of energy consumption in a building,mainly lighting and heating / cooling, using the EIB / KONNEX technology.
