Building energy modeling (BEM) has become increasingly used in building energy
conservation research. Prototype building models are developed to represent the typical …

The building envelope modification in terms of insulation material, glass material,
orientation, window to wall ratio (WWR), reflective coating, etc., is vital to control the heat …

In buildings, ventilation, or rather, a lack of airtightness facilitates air leaks, from the outside
to the inside and vice versa, and is not controlled. Cold air enters through the enclosure, and …

Optimizing the scheduling of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in
multizone buildings is a challenging task, as occupants in various zones have different …

Airport terminals are key infrastructures with rapid development, which have a high level of
energy consumption, especially for space heating in cold climate zones. In this study, large …

Air curtains have been widely used as a mean of reducing infiltration and associated energy
losses through building entrances. Since quantifying the infiltration rate through the …

This study investigated the impact of outdoor air pollutants on indoor air quality in a high-rise
building, considering factors related to the seasons and air infiltration. Further, the impact of …

Hot and humid air infiltration would lead to moisture condensation on the interior surface of
buildings in high humidity climate, which has a negative influence on the indoor …

This study investigates the overnight air infiltration rates of 202 natural ventilated bedrooms,
measured in August to September 2016 (cooling season) in Guangzhou, China. The rates …

The infiltration of cold air through the open doors is controlled using air curtains, resulting in
lower thermal loss and higher energy efficiency in the buildings. Meanwhile, severe outdoor …
