The presence of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) entrained in end-use natural gas (NG) is
an understudied source of human health risks. We performed trace gas analyses on 185 …

The paper presents a review of existing literature in the field of coupling Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) with Building Energy Simulations (BES) to better predict indoor …

A coupled energy, airflow, and contaminant transport building model was developed using
co-simulation between EnergyPlus and CONTAM. The model was used to analyze different …

Ventilation is fundamental for providing good Indoor Air Quality in buildings. Nevertheless, it
involves considerable energy consumption. In this paper, a co-simulation approach was …

The dispersion of indoor airborne contaminants across different zones within a mechanically
ventilated building is a complex phenomenon driven by multiple factors. In this study, we …

Sustainable underground environments face 'high temperature, humidity and pollution'from
heavy internal loads and warming climate. Relying on mechanical ventilation and ignoring …

Building modelers need simulation tools capable of simultaneously considering building
energy use, airflow and indoor air quality (IAQ) to design and evaluate the ability of buildings …

Despite the advent of smart building sensors, real-time methods for capturing inhalation
exposure and occupancy are limited. This study utilized stationary and wearable …

This chapter presents what a future environment for building system modeling and
simulation may look like. As buildings continue to require increased performance, more …

Ventilation control logics are usually based on the control indicators of occupancy. However,
strategies including control of contaminants not linked to occupancy are requested and more …
