Performance optimization of an office building with a dynamic façade system | 2024 | English | 10 pp
Buildings account for a substantial portion of global energy consumption, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are responsible for approximately 40% of the buildings’ energy consumption.
Experimental and simulation analysis of different natural ventilation scenarios and their relation with IAQ in office buildings | 2024 | English | 10 pp
Following the pandemic of Covid-19, the scientific interest in ventilation rate of buildings, and especially in spaces with high occupancy, has increased.
Evaluation of Indoor Environmental Quality and Thermal Environment in Airtight Energy-Efficient Naturally Ventilated Dwellings | 2024 | English | 3 pp
Noticeably higher concentrations of gaseous pollutants were measured in bedrooms than living rooms, and in winter than summer, where p-values were found to be of a stringent significance (average p = 0.008).
Exploring the impact of the urban modified albedo on the indoor temperature and the ventilative cooling potential in a typical Italian residential building | 2024 | English | 10 pp
Urban heat island, with the associated urban overheating, is a well-documented phenomenon, which demonstrates the hazard related to local climate change and the related negative impacts at environment, economic, social and publi
Effects of closed vertical void on natural ventilation in double-loaded apartment building | 2024 | English | 8 pp
We proposed a new design of an affordable apartment with a closed-vertical void to improve the indoor natural ventilation especially for the leeward side of the building and constructed a full-scale experimental house in Indones
On the impact of night ventilation through motorized windows on the energy and thermal performance of office buildings | 2024 | English | 10 pp
Global and local climate changes affect the energy performance of buildings, especially during the warm season, with relevant increase of cooling uses in mechanically cooled buildings and discomfort hours in naturally ventilated
Experimental study on the dehumidification performance of a window-type liquid desiccant ventilation system | 2024 | English | 3 pp
This study proposes the feasibility of a window-type liquid desiccant ventilation system for residential buildings. Using a LiCl solution, the system was designed and experimentally evaluated under hot and humid conditions.
Evaluation of the impact of window use on the heating energy use and IEQ in dwellings based on simulations | 2024 | English | 8 pp
Window opening behaviour can have an important impact on residential energy use, especially in energy efficient dwellings.
The Impact of Simplified Window and Exhaust Fan Assumptions on Model-Based Predictions of Inter-Zonal Air Flow and Contaminant Transport in Multifamily Buildings | 2024 | English | 10 pp
In residential buildings, the indoor air quality can be significantly affected by ventilation measures initiated by occupants, including the operation of windows and in-unit exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms.
Exploring the Effect of Post-Pandemic Behaviour of Occupants on Indoor Air Quality and Comfort Conditions in Existing Residential Buildings in Turkiye | 2024 | English | 3 pp
This study aims to investigate the impact of changing residential user behaviour after the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020-2021 on indoor health and comfort conditions.
Applying a composite indoor environmental quality indicator to Danish office spaces: The TAIL rating scheme | 2024 | English | 3 pp
A composite rating scheme for indoor environmental quality (IEQ) can help provide a summary picture of buildings for occupants, inform the building managers regarding IEQ performance that need attention, and raise awareness on r
By 2050, Europe aims for energy-neutral buildings, necessitating effective integration of renewable energy sources and smart grid management.
In 2022, a new law was passed by the Belgian federal government with the purpose to enhance the indoor air quality in public spaces in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
