A set of enhancements to the ASHRAE Handbook [1] are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of multimedia and advanced presentation techniques such as 3D computer graphics, visualization and animation techniques. These results can also serve as a model and guide for the broader use of these techniques in other ASHRAE publications. 1 General Introduction to Project In this paper, we present ...

Selecting the model is an important and essential step in model based fault detection and diagnosis (FDD). Factors that are considered in evaluating a model include accuracy, training data requirements, calibration effort, generality, and computational requirements. The objective of this study was to evaluate different modeling approaches for their applicability to model based FDD of vapor comp...

This work proposes a data-driven decision-making approach to develop smart avatar that allows for evaluating the thermal comfort experienced by user in Chile. The ANSI/ASHRAE 55-2020 standard is basis predicted mean vote (PMV) index, which calculated random forest (RF) regressor using temperature, humidity, airspeed, metabolic rate, and clothing as inputs. To generate data from four cities with...

Previous studies on window-windcatchers have shown their effectiveness in capturing the prevailing wind and redirecting it into a building, increasing actual-to-required ventilation ratio by 9%, above what is required American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). However, effect implementing proposed system energy performance, costs, thermal comfort has not be...

The purpose of ventilation is to dilute or remove indoor contaminants that an occupant could be exposed to. It can be provided by mechanical or natural means. ASHRAE Standards including standards 62, 119, and 136 have all considered the contribution of infiltration in various ways, using methods and data from 20 years ago. The vast majority of homes in the United States and indeed the world are...

Thermal comfort in spaces can be defined as the creation of conditions that will provide users’ living standards. Therefore, it is important to investigate thermal different types dwellings and design parameters affect these conditions. In this study, were investigated. context, measured between December 2020 January 2022 four selected Bingöl, located a cold climate. Measurements made daylight ...

In a sloppy football game that featured 10 turnovers, the Albany State Great Danes managed to cross the goal line for the first time this season and break into the win column while the Brockport State Golden Eagles were held scoreless and remained winlcss Saturday afternoon on University Field. "Two not very good football teams struggling to give the game away," Albany Head Coach Bob Ford said....

We prove that for any constant k and any < 1, there exist bimatrix win-lose games for which every -WSNE requires supports of cardinality greater than k. To do this, we provide a graphtheoretic characterization of win-lose games that possess -WSNE with constant cardinality supports. We then apply a result in additive number theory of Haight [8] to construct win-lose games that do not satisfy the...
