  1. 16. Experimental investigation of ventilation performance of corner placed stratum ventilation in an office environment

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Gasper Choonya; [2019]
    Keywords : Stratum ventilation; local air change index; air change efficiency; ventilation effectiveness; draught rate; percentage dissatisfied; heat removal effectiveness;

    Abstract : Energy use in buildings account for about one third of the total global energy supply and contributes as much as 30% of the anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. It is estimated that energy use in buildings will increase to 67% by 2030. READ MORE

  3. 17. Benefits of passive solar shading devices in Swedish climate scenarios. Integrated daylight and energy study.

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