Calibrated CFD simulation to evaluate thermal comfort in a highly-glazed naturally ventilated room
(Elsevier, 2013-08-30)Natural ventilation is a sustainable solution to maintaining healthy and comfortable environmental conditions in buildings. However, the effective design, construction and operation of naturally ventilated buildings require ... -
A detailed investigation of the impact of an innovative dynamic façade system on indoor environmental quality in offices
(University of Galway, 2023-10-04)In recent years, naturally ventilated glass façades have become a common feature in the design and retrofit of large-scale non-residential buildings, integrating architectural aesthetics and energy efficiency. These ... -
An Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) assessment of a partially-retrofitted university building
(Elsevier, 2018-05-07)Achieving standards-based Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in existing buildings is growing steadily due to the strong demand for deep retrofits in Europe. Existing non-domestic buildings pose challenges mainly due to ... -
Real-time control of occupants thermal comfort in buildings
(International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2015-12-07)Providing satisfactory indoor environmental conditions, air quality and thermal comfort through adequate ventilation is crucial in maintaining safe, healthy and comfortable buildings. Since, heating, ventilation and air ... -
Reduced order modelling of the thermal behaviour of an office space
(Infoscience EPFL Scientific Publications, 2013-09-04)Reduced Order Models (ROMs) have proven to be a valid and efficient approach to model the thermal behaviour of building zones. The main issues associated with the use of zonal/lumped models are how to (1) divide the domain ...
