The Theory of Thermal Comfort in Naturally Ventilated Indoor Environments - “The Pleasure Principle” | 2009 | English
A Simulation Study on the Reduction of Cooling Loads in a Detached House by Cross-Ventilation using the Local Dynamic Similarity Model | 2009 | English
A simulation study on the reduction of cooling loads by utilizing cross-ventilation was performed for a typically shaped house as defined by the Architectural Institute of Japan.
Verification of the Effect of Cross-Ventilation on Energy Conservation by Simulating Occupant Behaviour | 2009 | English
Recently, natural ventilation, which is a traditional cooling method in Japan, has become considered as the key method for cooling energy conservation.
The Impact of Several Construction Elements on the Thermal Performance of Solar Chimneys | 2009 | English
Solar chimneys may provide enough ventilation to buildings when properly designed.
In the light of global environmental problems, it is vital for buildings to conserve energy and make use of natural energies. Natural ventilation is one important method for achieving this.
This paper reports on the measurement results of ventilation rates in existing occupied houses in the northern region of Japan.
It is not unusual to face moisture problems in buildings in cold climates and wet regions. It is, however, unusual to have the same problem in a relatively dry region such as Jordon, which has moderate weather conditions and mild winters.
Air supply volumes and velocities in cleanrooms are monitored by airflow measuring hoods and anemometers but these measuring methods can be inaccurate if used incorrectly.
The Influence of Air Circulation, Jet Discharge Momentum Flux and Nozzle Design Parameters on the Tightness of an Upwards Blowing Air Curtain | 2010 | English
Air curtains are used to eliminate airflows through doorways (doorway tightness).
Experimental Study of Non-Isothermal Diverging Swirling and Non-Swirling Annular Jets with Central Aspiration | 2010 | English
An experimental study of annular jets with central aspiration is presented. Two flow regimes were studied for creating either local air conditioning or local ventilation systems.
Studying the Effect of Indoor Sources and Ventilation on the Concentrations of Particulates in Dining Halls | 2010 | English
The impact of ventilation on indoor particulate pollution is highlighted by numerous studies.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is evidently relevant to the study of fires, yet the intermediate chemistry has yet to be factored successfully into combustion models.
Fire and Smoke Management in a Uni-Directional Road Tunnel for a Congested Traffic Condition | 2010 | English
Emergency smoke ventilation for a uni-directional traffic road tunnel is studied using a CFD modelling approach. Fire scenarios in an uphill ramp for congested traffic conditions have been considered.
