Evaluation of the environmental stress index (ESI) for hot/dry and hot/wet climates.
Recently, a novel environmental stress index (ESI) which is composed from commonly used meteorological variables: ambient temperature (T(a)), relative humidity (RH), and solar radiation (SR) was suggested as follows: ESI = 0.63T(a)-0.03RH+0.002SR+0.0054(T(a) x RH)-0.073(0.1+SR)(-1); (degrees C) The purpose of the present study was to evaluate and validate the ESI for hot dry and hot wet climati...
متن کاملBuilding Design for Hot and Humid Climates – Implications on Thermal Comfort and Energy Efficiency
The paper discusses the concept of an adaptive thermal comfort design methodology and its impact on the selection, design and performance of climate control systems for large public spaces with transient occupancy in hot and humid climates. It outlines the design methodology which is based on providing localised comfort conditions to zones within a building based on its occupancy patterns, acti...
متن کاملThermal comfort educational software for hot climates
Thermal comfort studies have been developed all around the world by many authors and some adaptive comfort models have been proved specifically for warm climates. An educational software developed some years ago for temperate climate, ACT (Program for the Evaluation of Thermal Comfort), by Isalgué and Serra, has been proved and used successfully by students in the Mediterranean climate of Barce...
متن کاملComputational Analysis of Natural Ventilation Flows in Geodesic Dome Building in Hot Climates
For centuries, dome roofs were used in traditional houses in hot regions such as the Middle East and Mediterranean basin due to its thermal advantages, structural benefits and availability of construction materials. This article presents the computational modelling of the windand buoyancy-induced ventilation in a geodesic dome building in a hot climate. The airflow and temperature distributions...
متن کاملHow To Be Healthy in Hot Climates
monqs, especially insulin and cortisone, on metabolism is dealt with; attempts are being made to localize the action of these hormones to specific metabolic steps. The production, disposal, and regulation of blood glucose is reviewed by S. Soskin in an introductory address, while more specific problems of glucose utilization under the influence of hormones are discussed by A. Wick and D. R. Dru...
