Building sensing technologies have evolved rapidly in the last two decades in aid of
monitoring building environment and energy system performance. A series of occupancy …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an effective analysis method of personalized
ventilation (PV) in indoor built environments. As an increasingly important supplement to …

This study investigates the effect of local floor heating mats on the thermal comfort of workers
in cold environments. Experiments were performed with two sizes of floor heating mats …

Abstract Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has infected many people worldwide. As the
probability of being infected by the virus increases with an increase in the number of people …

This study investigated the effect of the under-floor air distribution (UFAD) system compared
to conventional mixed-mode ventilation system to prevent airborne pathogen spread in …

Existing ward environments created by consuming a lot of energy are still unable to meet the
demands of patients, and there are no effective solutions available. To improve the existing …

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of airspeed and wind direction on
a human's thermal conditions and of air distribution around the body. In addition, this study …

The air conditioning system in low-energy buildings should be high-efficient because of its
limitation on energy consumption and requirement for thermal comfort. This study proposed …

This paper introduces a new multi-agent system approach to optimal control of high
performance buildings and presents algorithms for both distributed system identification and …

Micro-environment control system has been proved to be able to provide local thermal
comfort control. It also has the potential to save building energy by relaxing the control on …
