In this paper, the results obtained from the analysis of the heat and mass transfer of an Air–Carbon Dioxide mixture (CO2) inside a ventilated cavity in laminar flow regime are presented. A ventilated cavity is usually the way to model a ventilated room as a first approximation. Different...

Hot Summer and Cold Winter (HSCW) region plays an important role in China's building energy conservation task due to its high consumption in recent years for both climate and social reasons. National and local building energy standards according to which the buildings are built and operated can...

The performance of a hybrid cooling system that combines a screw water chiller with a ground source heat pump (GSHP) was measured and analyzed at various cooling loads. In addition, the hybrid cooling system in a building was modelled sophisticatedly using EnergyPlus and then validated with the...

Conventional heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems have traditionally used the temperature and the humidity ratio as the quantitative indices of comfort in a room. Recently, the carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration has also been recognized as having an important contribution to...

Daylight is the primary stimulus for synchronizing the human circadian photobiological system. Deficiency of daylight or its spectral anomaly in indoor environments is related to several health problems such hormonal unbalance, sleep disorder, depression and so on. In the light of new knowledge...

The paper presents the results of research focused on evaluating the influence of the architectural design of apartment buildings located in different locations in Havana city. The object under study has been the volume of buildings in relation to their surroundings, which determines the...

Warehouses are usually large, plain industrial buildings commonly used for storage of goods. Vertical distribution of air temperature is an important aspect for indoor environment design, which must be taken into account by architects and engineers in the early stages of warehouse design. The...
