Study on the Impact of Design Factors of Piloti Forms on the Thermal Environment in Residential Quarters

Buildings
According to piloti design, the outdoor thermal environment can be improved in cities with hot summer conditions. Taking Chinese cities with a hot summer and cold winter as the research object, this paper discusses the improvement of the outdoor thermal ...

Considering the impact of situation-specific motivations and constraints in the design of naturally ventilated and hybrid buildings [PDF]

, 2012
A simple logical model of the interaction between a building and its occupants is presented based on the principle that if free to do so, people will adjust their posture, clothing or available building controls (windows, blinds, doors, fans, and ...

Outdoor thermal comfort within different building blocks

A+BE: Architecture and the Built Environment, 2014
Outdoor thermal comfort in urban spaces is known as an important contributor to pedestrians’ health. The urban microclimate is also important more generally through its influence on urban air quality and the energy use of buildings. These issues are likely to become more acute as increased urbanisation and climate change exacerbate the urban heat ...

A Formable Wood‐Based Phase Change Materials with Enhanced Mechanical Properties and Thermal Efficiency for Smart Building

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A wood‐form‐stable phase change composite featuring a tensile strength of 134.42 MPa, zero leakage under load, and a phase change enthalpy of 94.73 J g−1 is developed through a structural biomimicry and dual‐network reinforcement strategy. With its exceptional shape stability and remarkable phase change performance, this phase change composite is well ...

Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Soft Bioelectronics for Self‐Powered Respiration Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Artificial intelligence‐driven soft bioelectronics for self powered respiration monitoring based on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs), and magnetoelastic generators (MEGs) enable continuous and multi‐scenario respiratory biomechanical data collection. Coupled with machine learning and big data driven diagnostics,

Comfort driven adaptive window opening behaviour and the influence of building design [PDF]

, 2007
It is important to understand and model the behaviour of occupants in buildings and how this behaviour impacts energy use and comfort. It is similarly important to understand how a buildings design affects occupant comfort, occupant behaviour and ...
