There is a need to improve the accuracy of infrared thermography for measuring the temperature distribution of building exterior surfaces.
The Performance of Natural Ventilation Windcatchers in Schools - A Comparison between Prediction and Measurement | 2010 | English
Windcatchers are roof mounted devices that use the action of the wind to provide top down natural ventilation to a room. Here, fresh air is channelled into a room while, at the same time, stale air is drawn out.
Application of a School Building Thermal Response Numerical Model in the Evolution of the Adaptive Thermal Comfort Level in the Mediterranean Environment | 2010 | English
In this paper, a review is made of the adaptive thermal comfort model. This is then applied and compared with the performance of the conventional thermal comfort model for a school located in a Mediterranean weather environment.
Hybrid Ventilation for Multi-Zone Buildings - Development of Optimal Control Strategies through Experiments and Dynamic Modelling | 2011 | English
Hybrid ventilation represents an interesting option both to guarantee good air quality for indoor environments and to reduce the energy consumption related to the mechanical motivation of the air.
Ventilation Control Approach for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality and Enhancing Energy Saving In Thailand | 2011 | English
Nowadays many people spend most of their time indoors, so the quality of indoor air has significantly impacted human health and comfort.
Stratum ventilation is a recently proposed air distribution system. It works by creating a layer of fresher air in the occupants' breathing zone.
Numerical Assessment of the Performance of Ventilation Strategies in a Single-Family Building | 2011 | English
Ventilation systems are primarily designed for ensuring good indoor air quality (IAQ). However, building energy requirements tend to put demand on reducing air change rates.
Hybrid ventilation systems combine the superior properties of natural and mechanical ventilation systems to reduce energy consumption.
Distributed demand control ventilation (DDCV) has shown potential for improving both indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy consumption over conventional ventilation systems.
Experimental Study of Air Distribution and Ventilation Effectiveness in a Room with a Combination of Different Mechanical Ventilation and Heating/Cooling Systems | 2011 | English
Mixing and displacement ventilation are common systems in commercial buildings, while mixing ventilation is used in residential buildings.
Nowadays, the ceiling slot diffuser is very popular in offices.
Airflow Control for Personal Air-Conditioning in a Partly Unoccupied Zone using a Multi-Flow Ceiling Cassette Type Packaged Air-Conditioner | 2011 | English
There are various demands for air-conditioning in each office space resulting from the variability of thermal distribution caused by a bias of heat sources. Furthermore, individual demands on the thermal environment are diverse.
