Abstract This study investigates the determining parameters of thermal comfort office in an arid hot-arid environment Bechar, located northwestern region Algeria, which vertical walls room and roof are subjected to solar irradiations floor is considered be adiabatic. The flux calculated by ASHRAE (American Society Heating, Refrigerating Air-Conditioning Engineers) method. predicted results vali...

The HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system is an important part of a building, which constitutes up to 40% building energy usage. main purpose HVAC, maintaining appropriate thermal comfort, crucial for the best Additionally, comfort also well-being, health, work productivity. Recently, data-driven models have achieved better performance than traditional knowledge-based methods ...

There is a general agreement that much of the syntax modern architecture contributed to design buildings were often inadequately adapted climate conditions. However, there are some renowned examples that, while consistent with tenets, prove assumption be wrong. Amongst them E.1027 house designed by Eileen Gray and Jean Badovici stands out. This research aims contextualise assess quality overall...

Thermal comfort and indoor air conditions affect the mental physical performance of users. People spend most their time indoors. The thermal these places directly individuals. Today, there are few examples interior spaces with suitable in terms comfort. Academician work offices university buildings also where academics a long time. In this context, it is important to investigate examine put for...

A comprehensive understanding of occupant comfort in mixed-mode (MM) buildings is crucial for the design MM which are being proposed as a low-energy solution to combat global warming without compromising comfort. Current standards mainly naturally ventilated (NV) or air-conditioned (AC) buildings, and there significant gap buildings. With databases playing major role development thermal models,...

About 2022, studies on environmental conditions inside classrooms have increased because they are related to well-being, performance, and student productivity in terms of concentration, attention, learning during school hours. Assessing the educational space once inhabited can be fundamental identifying adjustments that could improve achievement through design strategies facilities locality. Th...

Traditional buildings are one type of structure that can adapt to a dynamic environment. Some functions the building’s spaces have been changed new requirements, but building's overall shape has preserved. The purpose this study was examine and determine differences in perceived thermal comfort values ​​between occupants visitors inside building. Using observation method analyzing data through ...

The direct-condensation panel was demonstrated to be effective in reducing carbon emissions of space heating for its high energy efficiency. To expand application prospects, the thermal performances Direct-Condensation Panel (DCP) with various aspect ratios are investigated and compared this paper. results show that vertical temperature gradients working area 0.1 m 1.5 1.6°C 3.3°C DCP ratio 0.4...

Purpose Occupants dwelling in hot climatic regions of India for a longer term are tolerable to high temperature levels than predicted by American Society Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standards. The purpose this study is evaluate the thermal sensations (TS) neutral occupants naturally ventilated (NV) air-conditioned (AC) classrooms two technical institutions loc...

As a result of lifestyle changes, the energy requirement for thermal comfort has increased. To increase efficiency and reduce global warming, building design should consider climate. An energy-efficient code been developed with goal reducing demand by 25%–40%. However, cannot be used because different stakeholders have perspectives. Climate zones, which are required structures that both climate...
