Volume content
Analysis of Ventilation of Dwellings in Spain in Relation to Technical Building Code Using Tracer Gas Techniques | 2012 | English
Domestic Cold Pitched Roofs in the UK - Effect of Using Different Roof Insulation Materials | 2012 | English
The type and thickness of insulation on the topside horizontal of cold pitched roofs has a significant role in controlling air movement, energy conservation and moisture transfer reduction through the ceiling to the loft (roof void) space.
The Influence of Surrounding Buildings on the Natural Ventilation Performance of Residential Dwellings in Hong Kong | 2012 | English
Natural ventilation in residential dwellings is very important for occupants’ health and comfort.
An Overview of Extreme Hot Weather Incidents and the Role of Natural Ventilation in Buildings on Human Body Comfort | 2012 | English
It is still difficult to confirm from available data if global warming and climate changes have played a role in increasing heat-related injuries.
Applying Large Datasets to Developing a Better Understanding of Air Leakage Measurement in Homes | 2013 | English
Air tightness is an important property of building envelopes. It is a key factor in determining infiltration and related wall-performance properties such as indoor air quality, maintainability and moisture balance. Air leakage in U.S.
Control of Carbon Dioxide Concentration in Educational Spaces Using Natural Ventilation | 2013 | English
This paper reports on research carried out to develop natural ventilation control strategies for densely occupied learning spaces with the intention of improving indoor air quality and heating energy consumption.
This paper presents results of a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of buoyancy-driven natural ventilation in which two unequal heat sources are used to drive the flow.
Performance Potential of Mechanical Ventilation Systems with Minimized Pressure Loss | 2013 | English
In many locations mechanical ventilation has been the most widely used principle of ventilation over the last 50 years but the conventional system design must be revised to comply with future energy requirements.
Analysis of Reduced Cooling Load for a Multistorey-Building Incorporating a Ventilated Double Skin Façade with a Solar Chimney Channel | 2013 | English
A double skin façade (DSF) aims at reducing heating and cooling loads by taking advantage of daylight and utilizing heated air for space heating. To take advantage of a DSF a sophisticated design is required.
Operational Heat Balance Model with Parameterized Geometry for the Prediction of Car Cabin Heat Loads | 2013 | English
The paper presents the development of a mathematical model and a simulation tool for the transient prediction of the indoor climate and the heat loads in a car cabin, under real operating conditions.
Analysis and Repercussions of the Updating of the Spanish Regulation Regarding Ventilation and Infiltration | 2013 | English
The Spanish Technical Building Code is one of the three royal decrees that were approved in Spain as a consequence of the transposition of the European Directive on the energy performance of buildings (2002/91/EU, 2002).
