Journal ArticleDOI
Solar chimney optimization for enhancing thermal comfort in Egypt: An experimental and numerical study
Ahmed Abdeen,Ahmed Abdeen,Ahmed A. Serageldin,Mona G. Ibrahim,Abbas El-Zafarany,Shinichi Ookawara,Ryo Murata +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional, quasi-steady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was established for the prediction of buoyant air flow using the renormalization group (RNG) k-e turbulence model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Passive designs and strategies for low-cost housing using simulation-based optimization and different thermal comfort criteria
Anh Tuan Nguyen,Sigrid Reiter +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the design and operation of a low-cost dwelling were numerically optimized using a simulation-based approach using three multi-objective cost functions including construction cost, thermal comfort performance and 50-year operating cost for naturally ventilated and air-conditioned buildings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigation of a novel configuration of desiccant based evaporative air conditioning system
TL;DR: In this article, a desiccant based evaporative cooling system for air conditioning application is developed and tested based on configuration that outdoor air must be used for regeneration to increase performance of the system and so three air channels are used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field study on adaptive thermal comfort in typical air conditioned classrooms
Zhaosong Fang,Sheng Zhang,Yong Cheng,Alan M.L. Fong,Majeed Olaide Oladokun,Zhang Lin,Huijun Wu +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a field survey was conducted in several typical classrooms at the City University of Hong Kong and the results indicated that students in light clothing (0.42 clo) have adapted to the cooler classroom environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination and application of outdoor thermal benchmarks
Pui Kwan Cheung,Chi Yung Jim +1 more
TL;DR: It is identified that a neutral condition or an acceptable condition is often mistakenly assumed to be a comfortable condition, and a package of analytical methods was recommended and explained to determine neutral temperature, preferred temperature, acceptable temperature range and neutral temperature range.
