A new room model has been developed and validated in order to be used for the assessment of HVAC sensors, assuming non-homogeneous room conditions and distinguishing between different sensor positions. .
This technical note from AIVC aims to provide information on residential ventilation systems and how these can be applied to meet the conflicting needs for fresh air and minimised energy consumption.
The research in this thesis aims to provide information about the uncertainty attached to the prediction of thermal comfort in buildings, in the context of the specific case of a naturally ventilated office building.
The key objective of Precis was to evaluate the potential of renewable energies, including natural ventilation, in cities by exploring the relationships between urban form and energy/environmental performance.
The focus of project Web has been the development of wind enhancement and integration techniques which improve the annual energy yield per installation by concentrating the low to moderate wind speeds (2-5 m/s).
The Solvent window was developed to improve visual and thermal comfort in sunny conditions. The glazing system realizes the conversion of short wave solar radiation to convective heat and long wave radiation.
