Computer model and simulation of a traditional passive cooling ventilationsystem in a modem building in Mazara Del Vallo (Italy) | 2008 | English
DX A/C systems are widely used insmall to medium size building and generallyrely on On-Off control as a low-cost approachto maintain only indoor dry-bulb temperature.Continuously running the supply fan in a DXA/C system has a significant influence
Impact of building morphology, thermal inertia and glazed area on theenergy consumption of residential houses | 2008 | English
This paper presents the energy savings thatcould be obtained by the appropriate design ofthe building in terms of morphology, thermalinertia and glazed area.
Reinforcement of air-tightness and thermalinsulation in the indoors leads to the declinein air-change rate.
Study on energy conservation effects of wind-induced ventilation indetached house using coupled simulation of semi-empirical ventilationmodel and network models | 2008 | English
A semi-empirical ventilation model was proposed for cross-ventilation. This model isbased on local dynamic similarity theory andwas coupled with COMIS and TRNSYS, whichare widely used for energy conservationsimulation.
Nowadays, due to the energy saving purposes inthe building sector, at new buildings and atrefurbishments, modem closing elements arebuilt-in, with very good thermal insulation andair tightness properties.
designed "air-curtain chemical fume hood" arediagnosed by using the tracer gas concentrationdetection method.
Applying the activated carbon fiber filter supported with copper oxide catalyst to remove indoor VOCs | 2008 | English
HVAC (Heating, ventilating air conditioning)system is used to keep indoor air quality. Thepurpose of the traditional HAVC system isproviding a comfortable environment andventilating the indoor air pollutants.
Cool-Radiant and Dry Exergies Available from the Ceiling with an AtticSpace Conditioned by an Air-Conditioner | 2008 | English
A radiant cooling system with the use of anordinary air conditioner in attic space, whichmay cope with natural ventilation, wasdeveloped as a trial.
Full scale experimental evaluation of ventilation strategies of a double-skinfacade | 2008 | English
A double-skin facade is installed in a laboratory full scale test cell. The double-skin fagade has a 20 cm wide air cavity with Venetian sun-shading blinds and is provided with mechanical ventilation.
Equalization of wind pressure on the inner wall of double-skin of tall buildings for the natural ventilation | 2008 | English
This research concerns natural ventilation of the building with double-skin.
Upgrading the energy performance of office buildings in Greece -Trends and potentials. | 2008 | English
In this paper the energy performance and thepotentials of the energy savings decrease in twooffice buildings in northern Greece areexamined, within the frames of a renovationproject in office buildings of the public sector.Energy audits and simula
Numerous studies and everyday experiencesprove the fact that even new buildings do notperform as expected.
Double-skin facade (DSF) is an architectural/ engineering solution developed from the need to increase comfort in buildings with full glazed facades.
Evaluation of the solar-assisted desiccant air-conditioning systems using periodically reactivated desiccant beds under hot and humid CK climates | 2008 | English
In hot and humid regions, cooling anddehumidification are important issues of inindoor environment.
Today lots of research and application of solarheating are focused on continuously occupiedbuildings, such as residential buildings.
Impact of the Change of Gross Building-to-Land Ratio upon the ResidentialVentilation Usage and Energy Consumption for Air-Conditioning andLighting | 2008 | English
Tn this paper, using thc "SCTENCE vent"method for estimating the energy consumptionfor air conditioning in rcsidcntial buildings, wcevaluated the wind environment and theradiative conditions with respect to the targetbuildings in the case where th
Subjective experiments on the suitable illuminance in a living room daylitby Mirror Duct System | 2008 | English
The objective of this study is to identify theeffects of mirror duct system on energy savingsfor luminaries.
Activated carbon filters have been used forpurification of air and water in industrialapplications.
Considering density of housing in residentialarea of large cities in Japan, it is very difficultto secure sufficient daylight and lead daylightto whole space in the house. High side lightingis one of solutions for such situation.
