The impact of combination of a passive ventilation system and smart windows in a climate-
adaptive building is studied. A 3D steady-state RANS CFD simulation with a SST k-ω …

The impacts of various ventilation strategies and facade designs on indoor thermal
environment for naturally ventilated residential buildings in Singapore are investigated in …

The thermal environment quality of office buildings has an important role because thermal
comfort is directly related to human productivity. Thermal comfort conditions are influenced …

Despite the advantages of building enclosure systems for improving ventilation efficiency
and reducing energy consumption, there is a large difference in performance from the …

Natural ventilation can be incorporated into buildings to decrease energy use and the
associated greenhouse gas emissions of buildings. However, mechanical cooling has …

Purpose In vernacular buildings, many climatic and passive solutions have been used to
create indoor thermal comfort. Seasonal occupant movement is an example of a traditional …

Abstract According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change the buildings sector
has the largest mitigation potential for CO 2 emissions. Especially in office buildings, where …

This second part of the study uses a validated dynamic building thermal model for perimeter
zones with glass facades (described in Part I) and combines it with a transient two-node …

Singapore has the hot and humid climate throughout the year. Many passive climate control
methods are adopted in the naturally ventilated residential buildings to help achieve thermal …

Solar heat gain and natural ventilation cooling of the indoor environment in buildings are
highly influenced by the shading and openable area of windows. In addition to the ambient …
