Nightcooling - Practical Experiences in Offices and the Need for Standard Implementation into Energy Performance Legislation | 2008 | English
Numerical Evaluation of Earth to Air Heat Exchangers and Heat Recovery Ventilation Systems | 2007 | English
In France there is an increasing demand for energy efficient and environmentally friendly buildings of high thermal comfort.
The purpose of this work is to present a study of the indoor environmental conditions of an office which is fully occupied and naturally ventilated by window and door opening.
Sustainable architecture design for tropical climates requires the use of natural ventilation combined with other strategies including: the use of appropriate materials, site location, orientation of faades and solar shading, etc.
Study of the Airflow Structure in Cross-Ventilated Rooms based on a Full-Scale Model Experiment | 2007 | English
Cross ventilation to reduce cooling energy is one of the most important techniques for maintaining acomfortable indoor environment in hot and mild seasons.
The Effect of Building Shape Modification on Wind Pressure Differences for Cross-Ventilation of a Low-Rise Building | 2007 | English
The present study investigates the effect of alteration in the building shape due to some common remodelling practice on the wind pressure differences delta-p for cross-ventilation of a semi-detached low-rise building using Computational Fluid Dyn
The Effect of Low Ventilation Rates on the Cognitive Function of a Primary School Class | 2007 | English
Several studies have suggested that recommended ventilation rates are not being met within schools.
The present study is focused on the relation between wind speed and air temperature during the summer period over the greater Athens area.
The Real Life Efficiency of Gas Phase Filters Used in General Ventilation and their Influence on the Indoor Air Quality of an Office Building | 2007 | English
Gas phase filters were installed within the air handling unit of a HVAC system feeding 100 % fresh(outdoor) air to an office building.
The natural ventilation of a building, flanked by others forming urban canyons and driven by the combined forces of wind and thermal buoyancy, has been studied experimentally at small scale.
Use of a RSM Turbulence Model for the Prediction of Velocity and Temperature Fields in a Mechanically Ventilated Room | 2007 | English
Full-scale experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods were used to investigate the velocity and temperature fields in a mechanically ventilated room.
Vent DisCourse: Development of Educational Material on Energy Efficient Ventilation of Buildings | 2007 | English
This paper is not a technical paper but, instead, focuses on the methods by which information on recent advances in ventilation technology and systems may be transferred to engineers.
The requirements for good indoor air quality and energy efficiency have often been considered to be in conflict with each other.
