In buildings, energy is primarily consumed by mechanical air conditioning systems. Low
energy alternatives, such as natural ventilation, are needed. However, they need to be able …

The climate change leads to periods of extreme events (ie reduction of cold seasons, heat
waves, overheating, urban heat island among others) that affect the performance of …

Naturally ventilated buildings have been worldwide increasingly welcomed, given the
current global awareness toward environmental sustainability, indoor health-quality and …

Naturally ventilated buildings' performance relies on their design and climatic conditions.
Thus, when investigating the natural ventilation potential (NVP), the meteorological data …

Particle deposition can significantly affect occupants' exposure to PM 2.5 in indoor
environments. However, there is a lack of experimental data for the PM 2.5 deposition rate …

A “hybrid ventilation system that uses both natural and mechanical ventilation has drawn
attention with its low operation cost and constant ventilation rate”. This study is to advance …

Source localization is important for ensuring indoor air quality and indoor environmental
safety. Most available studies on source localization have been conducted in steady indoor …

A study of the experimental thermal performance of a green roof in a semi-warm climate of
Mexico, which considers the irrigation effect, is presented. The experiment was performed in …

This research assesses the effect of outdoor parameters, including solar radiation and
shading and glazing configurations, on indoor thermal comfort and air quality in multi …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations based on the steady Reynolds-Averaged
Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach are widely employed to predict airflow field and thermal …
