In the past 50 years, Computational Wind Engineering (CWE) has undergone a successful
transition from an emerging field into an increasingly established field in wind engineering …

User demand for increased internal thermal comfort conditions have resulted in rising
energy costs for space-heating consumption. The present study aims to recover the thermal …

Scaled wind tunnel testing and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis were
conducted to investigate the natural ventilation performance of a commercial multi …

This paper introduces a method for a full assessment of the internal air movement
characteristics in a room ventilated with a commercial wind tower using scaled wind tunnel …

CFD analysis of multiple wind towers located on the same building was performed following
validation of a benchmark model against wind tunnel data. The positioning of the wind …

Rotary desiccant wheels are used to regulate the relative humidity of airstreams. These are
commonly integrated into Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning units to reduce the …

Commercial wind towers are passive ventilation technology based on traditional wind
towers of the Middle East. Typical operation of wind towers in cold–mild climates is generally …

With the ubiquity of low-powered technologies and devices in the urban environment
operating in every area of human activity, the development and integration of a low-energy …

Despite being harvested thousands of years ago, wind energy was neglected during the
industrial revolution because of the strong dependence on fossil fuels. However, after the …

Wind catchers are natural ventilation systems based on the design of traditional architecture,
intended to provide ventilation by manipulating pressure differentials around buildings …
