1. 1. Investigation of different ventilation profiles to avoid stratification in Nearly Zero Energy Buildings

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

   Author : Alazne Irene Varela Santana; [2023]
   Keywords : stratification; water model; comfort; mixing; temperature; potential energy; net zero energy building;

   Abstract : This research paper examines possible solutions for the problems that warm air heating is suffering in Nearly Zero Energy Buildings. These NZEBs are passive houses constructed to have high energy efficiency where the quantity of power used is equal to the power created annually, produced locally or in the surroundings by renewable energy sources.

5. 4. Ventilation systems in Low Energy Houses: augmentation of mixing in a small-scale water model by generating resonance

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

   Author : Borja Chocarro de Erauso; [2022]
   Keywords : Stratification; buoyancy frequency; resonance; mixing; passive house; water model;

   Abstract : Some passive houses are provided a warm supply flow inlet coming from a mechanical ventilation system, creating issues of shortcut ventilation as a result of an originated density layer stratification, since the supplied warm air is confined to the ceiling level. In this way, there exist several complaints of thermal discomfort and poor indoor environmental quality in passive houses. READ MORE

6. 5. Evaluation of overheating risks and passive cooling measures in low energy Swedish dwellings

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

   Author : Sammar Kassab; Salma Aljabri; [2022]
   Keywords : Overheating; Passive cooling; Thermal comfort; Energy-efficient building; Building simulation; Heat wave; Residential dwellings; Occupant comfort and health; Measurement criteria.; Arts and Architecture;

   Abstract : Overheating in buildings is becoming a major concern and cause for various health issues. Existing research and previous studies on the issue were examined to acquire relevant information about the definition of overheating, its possible causes, and the heath impacts it could have on human health.
