In this work, the cooling performance of night ventilation systems and different earth heat exchangetechnologies were experimentally analysed in three office buildings in Southern Germany.
Conventional methods of multi-zone airflow analysis ignore mechanical energy conservation in forming the system equations governing building airflows.
This paper describes a concept of probability-based design and its application in the field of ventilation.
The cooling effect of indoor air movement from circulator fans has been discounted in many strategies for increased energy efficiency.
Natural ventilation using open windows is an energy efficient and effective method of providing a good indoor air climate in schools. However, open windows not only let fresh air into the building but also external noise.
Study on the Numerical Predictive Accuracy of Wind PressureDistribution and Air Flow Characteristics -Part 1 Optimization of Turbulence Models for Practical Use;Part 2 Prediction Accuracy of Wind Pressure Distribution of Various Shaped Buildings | 2005 | English
To evaluate wind pressure distribution on a building by using CFD (computational fluid dynamics), it has been general practice to use k-e models.
The reduction in air infiltration due to window replacement inUK dwellings : result of a field study and telephone survey | 2005 | English
This paper reports the findings of a field study and telephone survey into the impact of window replacement on air infiltration and moisture problems in UK dwellings.
Thermal and airflow modelling of mediterranean buildings : application to thermal comfort in summer | 2005 | English
The assessment of building thermal comfort quality in the Mediterranean context necessitates an accurate knowledge of air temperature and velocity fields inside the space.
Measurements of the unsteady flow in a ventilation stack of a school have been made at model scale in an environmental wind tunnel.
Verification of Design Calculations of a Wind Catcher/Tower Natural Ventilation System with Performance Testing in a Real Building | 2006 | English
A wind catcher/tower natural ventilation system was installed in a seminar room in the building of theSchool of Construction Management and Engineering, the University of Reading in the UK.
Wind approaching a building provided with openings on the windward and leeward sides has a choice, either it flows through the openings or flows around and above the building.
