Optimization of architectural design elements in tropical humid region with thermal comfort approach
Eddy Prianto,P. Depecker +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of architectural design in a naturally ventilated building to obtain thermal comfort in tropical humid regions was investigated using numerical simulation. And the analysis showed that balcony, most window configurations and interior division plays a significant role in modifying indoor thermal condition but it does not always need a higher air speed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air distribution and ventilation effectiveness in an occupied room heated by warm air
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of increasing air change on the ventilation effectiveness depended on the position of air terminal devices, where the authors found that the effect varied between 0.4 and 1.2, where 1 is complete mixing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization on fresh outdoor air ratio of air conditioning system with stratum ventilation for both targeted indoor air quality and maximal energy saving
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an optimization on the fresh outdoor air ratio of stratum ventilation for both the targeted indoor air quality and maximal energy saving by coupling CO2 removal efficiency in the breathing zone and mass conservation laws.

Indoor environmental quality and occupant satisfaction in green-certified buildings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the relationship between the points earned in the IEQ category and the satisfaction expressed by occupants with the qualities of their indoor environment, and found that the achievement of a specific IEQ credit did not substantively increase satisfaction with the corresponding IEQ factor, while the rating level and the product and version under which certification had been awarded, did not affect workplace satisfaction.
