Integrated design for underground space environment control of subway stations with atriums using piston ventilation

, 2020
In subway stations, the piston effect plays an important role in enhancing ventilation to improve subway environment and reduce energy consumption. However, it may induce negative impacts on environmental health and thermal comfort, i.e.

Central Heating and Forced Ventilation: Origins and Effects on Architectural Design

Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, 1978
The 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.

Validation of ECG-derived sleep architecture and ventilation in sleep apnea and chronic fatigue syndrome

Sleep and Breathing, 2009
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 ...

Natural Ventilation Modeling and Analysis for Climate-Sensitive Architecture Design

2018
Due 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.

A Numerical Investigation of Impact of Architectural and Climatic Parameters of Windcatcher Systems on Induced Ventilation

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 ...

Ventilation and Architectural Design Strategies for Cooling Office Buildings in Different Climates of Chile

2014
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.
