Comfort travel is order of the day for any automotives in spite of the road conditions. Suspension system holds whole and sole responsibility of providing comfort to the occupants. Intensity of the disturbance originated from road varies with its condition ranging from minimum in case of normal road (Moderately rough) to maximum in case of pot hole or speed breaker. Accordingly stiffness of the...

The main objectives of green buildings are to improve their design and operation. Many studies have investigated whether lead higher occupant satisfaction, yet with contradictory conclusions. paper builds on the results post-occupancy evaluation surveys 68 using BUS Methodology. Satisfaction scores expressed by occupants qualities indoor environment were compared between non-certified buildings...

Smart building, which delivers useful services to residents at the lowest cost and maximum comfort, has gained increasing attention. HVAC equipment is a particularly expensive and energy consuming of building operation. A variety of emerging information technologies has been adopted. As a result, the concept of “demanddriven HVAC control” is a hot research topic. In this work, we investigated t...

It is desirable to ensure that the thermal comfort conditions in offices are in line with the preferences of occupants. Controlling their offices correctly therefore requires the correct prediction of their thermal sensation which is often determined using the ISO 7730 norm. The latter defines the predicted mean vote, i.e. the mean thermal preferences of an average group of people, based on a n...

Abstract Due to large energy consumption and equipped building control systems, the majority of campus buildings have potential increase efficiency provide flexibility. Among three main types occupants in (researchers/teachers, students, administration/management), students spend most their time on learning activities buildings, performance can influence performance. Therefore, this paper condu...

This paper describes research into occupant use of two cafe/seating areas in an atrium building. In particular it deals with two issues: firstly the distribution of temperatures at different points and different floor levels in the atrium over a year; and secondly the acceptance of thermal discomfort by occupants within those spaces. The study of temperature reveals some interesting variations ...

In this paper, sustainable design seeks to reduce negative impacts on the environment, and health comfort of building occupants, thereby improving financial performance. The basic objectives sustainability are consumption non-renewable resources, minimize waste, create healthy, productive environments. A alternative production system is Industry 4.0 (I4.0) circular economy (CE). contribution pa...

A major objective in the design and operation of buildings is to maintain occupant comfort without incurring significant energy use. Particularly narrower-plan buildings, thermophysical properties behaviour their façades are often an important determinant internal conditions. Building facades have been, being, developed adapt heat mass transfer characteristics changes weather conditions, number...

Passive design strategies play a significant part in improving the performance of retrofitting buildings. This especially applies to educational buildings that demand high quantity energy, not only due various types rooms and occupants but also operational needs space regarding heating cooling. Besides, energy will gradually decrease natural factors, such as aging extreme weather conditions. Th...

Sustainable building design, such as the Passivhaus standard, seeks to minimise energy consumption, while improving indoor environmental comfort. Very few studies have studied air quality (IAQ) in homes outside of Europe. This paper presents particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon dioxide (CO2), and total volatile organic compounds (tVOC) measurements first residential Latin America. It compares the...
