The Role of Wind and Natural Ventilation in the Vernacular Architecture of Zavareh
International Journal of Ventilation, 2009AbstractThe identification of effective factors in the historical formation of architecture can help develop architecture and its various aspects (Mofidi, 2005). These factors may be classified in the groups of cultural, historical and climatic. Specifically, the application of the native and traditional basis of past architecture can be highly ...

An intelligent control system architecture for the control of patient-ventilator synchrony
Proceedings of the Thirty-Fourth Southeastern Symposium on System Theory (Cat. No.02EX540), 2002Describes an intelligent control system architecture for the control of patient-ventilator synchrony. The long-term objective of the research is to develop an innovative intelligent system for controlling the process of mechanical ventilatory support for patients undergoing therapy in a hospital intensive care unit (ICU).

Natural and Mixed Ventilation Design via CFD and Architectural Modelling
International Journal of Ventilation, 2007AbstractNumerical simulations and computational fluid dynamics can be usefully integrated with architectural modelling to provide designers with a powerful single CFD based architectural modelling and design framework. This framework can be interfaced with building thermal performance modelling thus further integrating the full thermal and flow domains

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 ...

Architectural design of an advanced naturally ventilated building form
Energy and Buildings, 2007Advanced stack-ventilated buildings have the potential to consume much less energy for space conditioning than typical mechanically ventilated or air-conditioned buildings. This paper describes how environmental design considerations in general, and ventilation considerations in particular, shape the architecture of advanced naturally ventilated (ANV ...

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.

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.
