Full scale experimental evaluation of ventilation strategies of a double-skinfacade | 2008 | English
Equalization of wind pressure on the inner wall of double-skin of tall buildings for the natural ventilation | 2008 | English
This research concerns natural ventilation of the building with double-skin.
Evaluation of the solar-assisted desiccant air-conditioning systems using periodically reactivated desiccant beds under hot and humid CK climates | 2008 | English
In hot and humid regions, cooling anddehumidification are important issues of inindoor environment.
Numerous studies and everyday experiencesprove the fact that even new buildings do notperform as expected.
Double-skin facade (DSF) is an architectural/ engineering solution developed from the need to increase comfort in buildings with full glazed facades.
Today lots of research and application of solarheating are focused on continuously occupiedbuildings, such as residential buildings.
Impact of the Change of Gross Building-to-Land Ratio upon the ResidentialVentilation Usage and Energy Consumption for Air-Conditioning andLighting | 2008 | English
Tn this paper, using thc "SCTENCE vent"method for estimating the energy consumptionfor air conditioning in rcsidcntial buildings, wcevaluated the wind environment and theradiative conditions with respect to the targetbuildings in the case where th
Subjective experiments on the suitable illuminance in a living room daylitby Mirror Duct System | 2008 | English
The objective of this study is to identify theeffects of mirror duct system on energy savingsfor luminaries.
There are many technologies aimed at reducing energy demand of ventilation systems, but thefocus in these designs has remained on the airheating system and exhaust losses.
Activated carbon filters have been used forpurification of air and water in industrialapplications.
Considering density of housing in residentialarea of large cities in Japan, it is very difficultto secure sufficient daylight and lead daylightto whole space in the house. High side lightingis one of solutions for such situation.
Thermal mass activation (TMA) can assure, incertain cases, thermal comfort conditionswithout the need of air conditioning systems.Even if other cooling systems have to be used,night ventilation significantly reduces theduration of the working time
In the recent years in Latvia is rapidlydeveloping construction sector of residentialbuildings. Engineers have to give moreattention to heating and cooling system'stechnology in the buildings to stay competitivein the realty's market.
Recently, natural ventilation, which istraditional cooling method in Japan, hasbecome considered as the key method forcooling energy conservation.
Parameter Estimation of Dynamic Multi-zone Models for LivestockIndoor Climate Control | 2008 | English
In this paper, a multi-zone modeling concept isproposed based on a simplified energy balanceformulation to provide a better prediction of theindoor horizontal temperature variation insidethe livestock building.

The purposes of this research are to contrast theenergy consumption characteristics of oldresidential buildings and new residentialbuildings in Shanghai, China, and to analyzeinfluence factors of residential energyconsumption.
Wind prefiltering and Indoor Air Quality in the vernacular architecture ofhot arid regions of Iran. | 2008 | English
The results of a recent research and it'sstatistical analysis, show that in some of theIranian cities like YAZD, there are two periods(from end of august to end of September andfrom end of February to end of March) in whichoutdoor pollution is hig
Interference Coefficient for Discharge Coefficient in Prediction of CrossVentilation Rate through Large Openings | 2008 | English
In predicting the cross ventilation rate throughlarge openings, the use of general dischargedcoefficient , values for the conventionalorifice equation is not suitable.
In residential buildings moisture is adominant pollution source removed by theventilation system. The Danish buildingcode requires a minimum air change rate of0.5h-1 in residential buildings to avoidmoisture related problems.
