Ventilation and Moisture Control in Architectural Metal Panel Roofing Systems
2020Architectural metal roofing systems (AMRS) are considered to be a very durable type of steep-slope roofing system. Architectural metal roofing systems are commonly used in compact or unvented roofing assemblies over moisture-susceptible, nailable wood-based substrates placed directly over or laminated to rigid insulation or over nailable roof decks ...

Central Heating and Forced Ventilation: Origins and Effects on Architectural Design
Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, 1978The three major methods of heating buildings, based on hot air, hot water, and steam, were all developed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, largely in Great Britain. At the same time, forced ventilation, based either on the drawing power of heat or on the use of mechanical means like the fan, was also established.

This paper presents a building automation strategy for natural ventilation control and reducing building energy consumption. An on-off control is proposed in order to manage the windows opening and realize a natural ventilation flow guaranteeing indoor thermal comfort. The control logic is based on activation thresholds that are optimized to reduce the

Newly developed algorithms putatively derive measures of sleep, wakefulness, and respiratory disturbance index (RDI) through detailed analysis of heart rate variability (HRV). Here, we establish levels of agreement for one such algorithm through comparative analysis of HRV-derived values of sleep-wake architecture and RDI with those calculated from ...

Volume 6: Energy, Parts A and B, 2012
The large energy demand from the HVAC industry for residential buildings, along with the ever growing need for the utilization of renewable sources of energy, has brought considerable attention to the area of induced ventilation. Windcatchers are green architectural structures historically used for the passive ventilation of the indoor spaces with the ...

Natural Ventilation Modeling and Analysis for Climate-Sensitive Architecture Design
2018Due to complicated building geometries and heterogeneous urban morphologies, project-specific wind analysis is needed in addition to the general understandings of wind environment in order to develop appropriate mitigation strategies for any particular projects that may have outdoor natural ventilation issues.

In traditional buildings thermal comfort has been accomplished through the exploitation of passive strategies, i.e. natural ventilation and shading. This paper focuses on the investigation of natural ventilation in the vernacular architecture of Cyprus and on the documentation of the positive contribution of this strategy to the thermal comfort of the ...

In Office buildings in Chile, cooling energy demand is higher than heating demand. The climate of the country show important differences between cities by the ocean and those of interior regions. Main cities of Central Chile are Santiago and Valparaiso, both located at around 33°S.
