The main focal point of this work is to provide an enhanced indoor air quality (IAQ) using
natural ventilation system called wind-catcher and also to cut the energy consumed by …

The performance of wind towers, which depends on external wind speed, is often reduced
when still-air conditions prevail. As a solution to this, this research used a combination of …

Airflow characteristics around and within an isolated gable roof building were investigated
using computational fluid dynamic with steady RANS equations. This study focuses on the …

In recent times, retail buildings in tropical areas have started to evolve from fully enclosed air-
conditioned designs towards designs featuring open-air naturally ventilated malls. This …

The opening configurations and roof inclination angles are important to determine the
effectiveness of wind driven cross ventilation within building. This study presents …

An eave refers to an extension attached to the building roof to protect the interior space from
direct solar radiation and improve the performance on cross ventilation. In this study, the …

Numerical analysis based on CFD steady RANS equations was used to study the airflow
characteristics around and within an isolated gable roof building. Parameters that are the …

The manufacturing industry is now moving forward rapidly towards reconfigurability and
reliability to meet the hard-to predict global business market, especially job-shop production …

A huge portion of energy consumption in buildings comes from heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning. Numerous previous works assessed the potential of natural ventilation …

In the time of climate change, it is fairly argued that humankind is perhaps facing the most
serious existential threat throughout its entire history on planet Earth. At the same time, there …
