Simulation of passive ground-coupled cooling system for a house in hot humid climate
Abstract The US government has set a target of reducing CO2 emissions by 20% below the 2005 targets by the year 2020. Literature review reveals that residential buildings contribute over 20% of the total emissions mainly used for space heating, cooling, water heating and lighting. In hot humid climates, the concern is mainly for cooling and hot water that account for over 50% of the total resid...
متن کاملGlazed Transitional Space as a Passive Heating System (Case Study: Glazed Loggias in Semi-Arid climate)
The environmental concern, ensuring comfort for occupants, pushed us to search for the impact of glazed loggia on thermal comfort of adjacent space in Cons tantine climate, having s trong climatic cons traints. An experimental s tudy is undertaken and described in this paper. Analysis of the in situ results is also discussed. This work shows that in winter glazed loggia benefit largely from sol...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Test Reference Year on a Limited Data Base for Simulations on Passive Heating and Cooling in Chile
The application of building simulation for the thermal improvement of buildings in developing countries is limited by the scarcity of hourly climate data and test reference years. Therefore a generally applicable method was developed to select and combine monthly periods of hourly data, that correspond best to long-time mean values and assure representative mean temperatures and global radiatio...
متن کاملComparative assessment of vernacular passive cooling techniques for improving indoor thermal comfort of modern terraced houses in hot¬タモhumid climate of Malaysia
The main objectives of this study were to investigate vernacular passive cooling techniques and their potential application for improving indoor thermal comfort of naturally ventilated, modern brick terraced houses in Malaysia. Field measurement was conducted in two traditional timber Malay houses and two traditional masonry Chinese shophouses to examine their indoor thermal environments. The r...
متن کاملCalculating workplace WBGT from meteorological data: a tool for climate change assessment.
The WBGT heat stress index has been well tested under a variety of climatic conditions and quantitative links have been established between WBGT and the work-rest cycles needed to prevent heat stress effects at the workplace. While there are more specific methods based on individual physiological measurements to determine heat strain in an individual worker, the WBGT index is used in internatio...
