The expansion of modern cities has increased the popularity of large space buildings.
However, without appropriate building designs and efficient heating, ventilation, and air …

Rapid urbanization has made urban space thermal environment (USTE) problems
increasingly prominent. USTE research is important for improving urban ecological …

Climate change mitigation and sustainable practices are now at the top of political and
technical agendas. Environmental system modelling provides a way of appraising options …

An overall objective of our work is to improve building and systems performances in terms of
durability, comfort and economics. In order to predict, improve and meet a certain set of …

In tall and large (T&L) public spaces, occupant distribution and its variation may impact the
thermal environment and thus the operation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning …

The real-time control of indoor thermal conditions needs dynamic models of air temperature
and humidity in rooms. The single-zone dynamic model may be inappropriate to depict the …

In this paper, the thermal performance of capillary mat cooling systems is evaluated through
actual measurements under different ventilation rates. The results showed that the indoor air …

This study aims at the development of an optimal design tool using a genetic algorithm (GA)
and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Random variables (fluctuating outdoor conditions) …

Control and monitoring of indoor thermal conditions represent crucial tasks for people's
satisfaction in working and living spaces. Among all standards released, predicted mean …

This paper outlines a novel approach to model and control the internal dynamics of energy
and mass transfer in an imperfectly mixed fluid. The essential element in the approach lies in …
