An investigation into the effect of ventilated double-skin facade with venetian blinds: global simulation and assessment of energy performance | 2007 | English
Double-skin facade (DSF) is an additional glass skin on the outside wall of the building. In this study a mechanically ventilated and equipped with solar protections (venetian blinds) facade was studied.
In an attempt to reduce the high computational efforts for dynamic thermal simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) the authors have recently developed an adaptive freeze-flow method (i.e.
Dynamic simulation regarding the condensation risk on a cooling ceiling installed in an office room | 2007 | English
Ceiling radiant cooling with its many advantages on thermal comfort or energy reduction, didn’t become a leader in this domain because of the fear of condensation on the chilled surface of the ceiling, especially in hot and humid climates.
Double skin façades – cavity and exterior openings dimensions for saving energy on Mediterranean climate | 2007 | English
Taking into account Mediterranean climate particularities for Barcelona, Spain, a whole year study using TAS simulation software was carried out for a Double Skin Façade corporative office building. It is a typical office building with an extended
Effect of natural ventilation and wind direction on the thermal performance of a building ceiling | 2007 | English
Natural ventilation is rapidly becoming a significant part in the design strategy of buildings in situations where electricity is scare or non-existent and saving energy becomes highly important.
