Effects of Urban Ventilation Patterns on the Carbon Monoxide Concentration in a High-Rise Mega City | 2011 | English
To clarify the indoor climate in Japanese college classrooms, an air-conditioned, mechanically ventilated classroom of a university was surveyed.
The need to protect susceptible patients from cross-infection resulting from airborne pathogens is essential in hospitals, especially when patient immunity is either suppressed due to medical procedures or compromised by ailment.
Experimental Study of Turbulent Structures in a Non Isothermal Horizontal Jet Issuing from a Round Nozzle Distanced from a Wall | 2011 | English
A non isothermal horizontal jet issuing from a round nozzle distanced from a wall is investigated experimentally.
Case Study Assessment of Local and General Thermal Comfort by Means of Local Skin Temperature | 2011 | English
The temperature of human skin is determined by the human thermoregulatory system which reacts to changes in the thermal balance between a human body and the environment.
For residential forced air heating and cooling systems conventional thinking is that air supply registers should be located under exterior windows.
The scope of the research described in this paper is to develop, evaluate and propose a new empirical index, the so-called Index of Workplace Comfort (IWC), which quantifies the overall comfort sensation of a user in an office building.
Indoor Air Quality in U.K. School Classrooms Ventilated by Natural Ventilation Windcatchers | 2012 | English
The provision of good IAQ in schools is important both for the health of students and in maximising educational achievement.
The removal efficiency of high efficiency air filters against microbe-carrying particles (MCPs) in the air supply of occupied rooms, such as cleanrooms, was determined.
It is widely recognised that the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration level inside a building is a reflection of the indoor air quality in that building. In most buildings, occupants are a major source of CO2 through exhalation.
Indoor Environment and Energy Use in Historic Buildings - Comparing Survey Results with Measurements and Simulations | 2012 | English
Increasing demand for energy efficiency places new requirements on energy use in historic buildings.
The air distribution characteristics formed by an "air curtain" ventilation approach are investigated in detail. The airflow visualization and full-scale experimental results of air distribution in an occupied zone are reported in this paper.
Analysis of a PHDC (Passive and Hybrid Downdraft Cooling) Experimental Facility in Seville and its Applicability to the Madrid Climate | 2012 | English
The potential application of Passive and Hybrid Downdraught Cooling to residential buildings is explored using an experimental facility constructed and tested in Seville, Spain.
Among policy makers in many countries there is seemingly an almost unstoppable demand to require homes, schools and offices to be hermetically sealed and mechanically ventilated. The reasoning is one of control.
