In buildings, energy is primarily consumed by mechanical air conditioning systems. Low
energy alternatives, such as natural ventilation, are needed. However, they need to be able …

Currently, building energy consumption is increasing, thereby exacerbating various issues,
including climate change and environmental pollution. However, current building energy …

Airborne fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is a pollutant that is found in all urban
environments. PM2. 5 is predominantly generated by traffic and domestic fuel combustion …

A major challenge to fully achieve the natural ventilation (NV) potential in green buildings is
the control and coordination of windows and the HVAC system. Three main types of control …

Increased exposure to airborne fine particle pollution (PM2. 5) can result in decreased life
expectancy (DLE). However, while wood-burning in woodstoves and fireplaces for domestic …

The present paper proposes a novel zero-energy solar application system combining the
thermal catalytic technology with Trombe wall (TC-Trombe wall), which could realize indoor …

This article proposes a novel solar gradient-utilization photocatalytic-Trombe wall system
that can realize the dual functions of space heating and removal of indoor formaldehyde. A …

In the last decade, building energy simulation (BES) became a central component in
building energy systems' design and optimization. For each building location, BES requires …

Building systems play a critical role in determining indoor concentrations of pollutants of
outdoor origin in polluted cities. The objective of this study is to investigate impacts of …

During the COVID-19 pandemic, schools in South Korea augmented ventilation rates by
opening windows to avoid airborne transmission risks. However, this also elevated indoor …
