Energy and water conservation from air handling unit condensate in hot and humid climates

This study investigates the potential for energy and water sustainability in hot and humid climates by utilizing the condensate captured from large dedicated air handling units (AHUs) for pre-cooling outdoor air in another AHU and subsequently offsetting c ...

Modelling occupants’ personal characteristics for thermal comfort prediction

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

Based on results from a field survey campaign conducted in Switzerand, we show that occupants’ variations in clothing choices, which are relatively unconstrained, are best described by the daily mean outdoor temperature and that major clothing adjustments ...

On the unification of thermal perception and adaptive actions

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

Occupants exercise adaptive actions in response to discomforting environmental stimuli in an attempt to restore their comfort. These responses to adaptive actions are either ignored (conventional PMV models) or handled in an aggregated way (adaptive therma ...

Development of solar ventilated façade system for building energy retrofit

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst, Alessia Giovanardi

In the perspective of setting ambitious targets for new buildings energy performance and of introducing new approaches to retrofit existing buildings, the implementation of solar thermal collectors into façade becomes very interesting Several research acti ...

Local moderate magnetically induced hyperthermia using an implant formed in situ in a mouse tumor model

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink, Olivier Jordan

Purpose: We investigate a new heat delivery technique for the local treatment of solid tumors. The technique involves injecting a formulation that solidifies to form an implant in situ. This implant entraps superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION ...

Assessing the natural ventilation potential of the Basel region

Mario Germano

A method is proposed to assess the natural ventilation potential (NVP) of the Basel Region, Switzerland, by taking into account the most comprehensive set of factors involved in natural ventilation. These factors are either driving forces, such as wind pre ...

Qualitative modelling of the natural ventilation potential in urban context

Mario Germano

The two objectives of natural ventilation in buildings are the improvement of indoor air quality and thermal comfort. The methodology proposed hereafter provides an assessment of the natural ventilation potential for indoor air quality, while taking into c ...

Multicriteria assessment of natural ventilation potential

Claude-Alain Roulet, Mario Germano

A method is proposed to assess the natural ventilation potential by taking into account the most comprehensive set of factors involved in natural ventilation. These factors are either driving forces, such as wind pressure and stack effect, or constraints, ...

A simplified correlation method accounting for heating and cooling loads in energy-efficient buildings

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Manuel Bauer

Simplified correlation methods are powerful tools to compare both the energy performance of buildings and the efficiency of different HVAC control systems. For buildings in which both heating and cooling loads contribute to the energy consumption, widely u ...
