Analysis for Wood Decay within Building Envelops Considering Moisture Production by Biochemical Reactions | 2008 | English
In this study, a durability assessment model forbuilding envelopes design based onhygrothesmal and wood rot decay analysis ispresented.
Tall buildings have traditionally been sealed andmechanical ventilated. In recent years advanceshave been made allowing the natural ventilationof tall buildings for a part of the year.
Solar Thermal and Electric Desiccant Cooling System,Part 1 : System Development and Investigation | 2008 | English
Environmental degradation, depletingconventional energy resources, and explodingworld population are indeed serious issues.Development of clean energy resources togetherwith clean technologies for human comfort is awonderful hunian creativity.
In predicting flow rate of a cross-ventilatedbuilding, discharge coefficients obtained fromthe connected value of resistance coefficient ofopening based on the chamber method, and thewind pressure coefficients from a sealedbuilding are usually use
Some Effects of Ventilation on People: Perceptions, physiologicalResponses and Mental Performance | 2008 | English
This study explores the plausible mechanismlinking outdoor air supply rates and workperformance through the perceptual responsesand a target salivary biomarker.
Investigation of On-site Measurement of Air Flow Rate on Compact AirTerminal Devices | 2008 | English
On-site air flow measurements of domesticventilation systems with using funnel type airflow measurement instrument which isgenerally used in Japan, has been reported themeasurement difficulties due to the terminaldevices' installed location, the e
Energy efficient building means automaticallyextra attention to energy efficient ventilationand air tight building.
The decision makers in urban planning facevery often a dilemma whether to demolish orretrofit old buildings.
Displacement Ventilation System with Radiation Panel for Sickroom-Influence of Radiation Panel on Contaminant Concentration Profile - | 2008 | English
For the patient, the sickroom is a place for themedical treatment and is also the living spacewhere they spend almost all time in a day.Therefore, high indoor air quality and thermalcomfort are needed in the sickroom.We propose to use the displace
Measurement of total pressure, static pressure and wind velocity aroundcross-ventilated building | 2008 | English
Conventionally, the flow rate of a crossventilatedbuilding is predicted by using theorifice equation. When the opening is small,flow becomes like infiltration through cracks, itis useful.
Air-related problems in high-rise buildings:How can we cope with the problems due to stack effect? | 2008 | English
The construction of high-rise buildings beganseveral decades ago in North America, and nowhigh-rise buildings are common in East Asiaand the Middle East.
Ventilation Performance of Residential Kitchen Range Hood- Capture Efficiency of Island Hood | 2008 | English
An island hood, which is often installed in anisland kitchen, is an exhaust range hoodmounted on a ceiling independently. Thecapture efficiency of the island hood is obtainedby experiment and CFD analysis.
