1. 1. CFD Study of An Office Room Equipped with Corner Impinging Jet Ventilation

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

   Author : Getiye Wodaje; [2022]
   Keywords : CFD in ventilaion; Thermal comfort; Impinging jet ventilation; thermally stratified flow; Corner impinging jet; Office air quality; Indoor environment; turbulent jet;

   Abstract : A CFD validation study was made using corner supplied impinging jet ventilation operating in cooling mode. The air distribution system has two equilateral triangle shaped inlets placed 80cm above the floor at the two that share a common wall. The supply air was introduced at 2.26m/s. READ MORE

3. 2. Effects of repeated whole-body cold stress on finger temperature responses to localized cooling

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Pit Gäng; [2020]
   Keywords : CIVD; whole-body cold acclimation; cutaneous blood flow; immersion; thermal perception;

   Abstract : The study aimed to assess whether a short-term, high-intensity cold acclimation protocol would modulate finger vasomotor [i.e., finger temperature (TF), cold induced vasodilation (CIVD)] responses and regional thermo-perception to localized cooling. READ MORE

4. 3. Future climate resilience of energy-efficient retrofit projects in central Europe

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Jonas Manuel Gremmelspacher; Julija Sivolova; [2019]
   Keywords : Climate change; Future climate; Climate action; Building Performance Simulations; Hygrothermal Simulations; Moisture; Heating demand; Retrofit; Renovation; Building stock; Residential; Dwellings; Thermal envelope; Heating peak loads; Thermal comfort; Indoor environmental quality; Actual case studies; Big data; Denmark; Germany; Iterative workflow; Weather files.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study assesses the performance of buildings affected by climate change under future climate predictions for three time-periods until the end of the 21st century. Objects studied are residential multi-storey buildings, originally built before 1970 and retrofitted during the last decade. READ MORE

5. 4. Investigating The Relationship Between Mean Radiant Temperature (MRT) And Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) : A case study in a University building

   University essay from KTH/Installations- och energisystem

   Author : Swapnil Godbole; [2018]
   Keywords : Mean Radiant Temperature MRT ; Predicted Mean Vote PMV ; Local Thermal Discomfort; Solar shading; Window Performance; Mean Radiant Tempratur; Local Termisk Obehag; PMV; Solskydd; Fönster Prestanda;

   Abstract : Thermal comfort in an indoor environment is largely dependent on the four environmental and two personal parameters which is most commonly measured by the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) model developed by Fanger. It has been studied that variations in these parameters beyond a range could lead to discomfort complaints. READ MORE

6. 5. Investigating the energy demand and supply of a residential neighborhood in Malmö

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Tianqi Wang; [2018]
   Keywords : Building energy performance; Solar energy; Micro wind turbine; Residential buildings.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Facing the climate change and the energy crisis, the governments are taking steps to reduce the energy use and enhance the integration of renewable energy installations. Built environment is attributed to 40% of the global energy use, and the literature indicates that integrating the local renewable energy sources to the grid and meanwhile renovating the buildings can significantly improve the energy performance of the building sector.
