Numerical research on cross-ventilation flow of a generic building in unsheltered and sheltered conditions: impact of cross-section [PDF]
The performances of ventilation in the buildings with quadrate and cylindrical cross-sections are compared numerically. The incoming jet in the cylindrical unsheltered-building is more horizontal in comparison to the quadrate unsheltered-building.

A DDES Model with Subgrid-scale Eddy Viscosity for Turbulent Flow [PDF]
The original (delayed) detached-eddy simulation ((D)DES), a widely used and efficient hybrid turbulence method, is confronted with some flaws containing grid-induced separation (GIS), log-layer mismatch (LLM), and slow RANS-LES transition. A novel hybrid

Building automation for increased energy efficiency in buildings [PDF]
The implementation of components and systems of building automation, in particular for HVAC systems and renewables, opens the possibility to increase the energy efficiency of (clusters of) buildings even further than originally intended. By additionally implementing different control strategies, it is possible to use the thermal storage capacity of ...
