The optimal parameter is 2.0 m height and 1.0 m width reflector and a louvre angle of 75°. However, when further analysing the indoor illumination and uniformity, the classroom still had high or low illumination during certain periods solely relying on natural lighting, indicating that a single strategy alone cannot meet the overall lighting environment comfort needs of the space. The study suggests that different lighting environments should be used in different seasons, periods and areas of the classroom. The proportion of natural light, combined light and artificial light environments should be 30%, 45% and 25%, respectively. At the same time, considering the transformation and optimisation of the lamps, the improvement measures for windows facing other directions in the classroom is recommended, the lamps be symmetrically distributed in the horizontal direction, with a hanging height of 1.9 m in the vertical direction, which is 0.4 m higher than the original. The lighting power is 34 W and 26 W, and corresponding optimisation strategies for the intelligent control system are proposed.","PeriodicalId":13578,"journal":{"name":"Indoor and Built Environment","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141870374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prolonged and cold winters in severely cold regions of China necessitate substantial heating energy consumption. The study utilized a combination of overall surveys and long-term tracking surveys to evaluate the indoor environment and energy consumption in a passive office building situated in severely cold region under different heating modes over 2 years. The results show that the average temperature and indoor air quality (IAQ) can meet the standards at most moments. However, the average relative humidity tends to fall below the specified lower limit. Nevertheless, the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) index suggests that the indoor environment provides a comfortable thermal experience for humans. The heat pump air conditioning (HPAC) system operation revealed that when the outdoor air temperature fell below −7°C, the coefficient of performance (COP) of the air source heat pump units would deteriorate. Implementing intermittent heating during the second year can reduce heating energy consumption by 13.4 kWh/(m2·a), resulting in 38.9% energy savings. These findings will serve as a valuable reference for the design and operation of heating systems in passive buildings in severely cold regions.","PeriodicalId":13578,"journal":{"name":"Indoor and Built Environment","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141774605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To determine which, where and how to use MACs, seven small- and medium-sized MACs were selected and assessed for different settings and configurations by 1) a decay test for determining the clean air delivery rate (CADR), and 2) a perception test with a panel of subjects, together with physical measurements, of noise and air movement. The findings show that to achieve the desired CADR (appr. 1000 m3/h for 30 students per classroom), the key factors are the induced airflow pattern and the location of the MACs. MACs with an upward air supply toward the occupied zone showed much higher CADR (max. 775–1332 m3/h) than those with a horizontal air supply (max. 219–333 m3/h). Moreover, using multiple devices simultaneously was crucial when the room size was increased, and combining mechanical ventilation could improve aerosol removal. Achieving a sufficient CADR would always lead to a noise level above the limit of 35 dB(A), yet sometimes the rating of the panel was more than 50% acceptable. The air velocities mostly fulfilled the requirement (<0.2 m/s), which aligned with the positive panel assessment. Hence, the evaluation by a panel of subjects can help to optimize the use of MACs in a classroom.","PeriodicalId":13578,"journal":{"name":"Indoor and Built Environment","volume":"2020 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141774606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The risk of exposure to occupants varies due to different usage conditions and driving scenarios of moving vehicles. Therefore, the present study investigates the airborne transmission of contaminants generated by coughing in a moving vehicle and explores the relationship between aerosol dispersion and fluid exchange between the interior and exterior domains of the car under the influence of window opening configurations, seating layouts and driving speeds. The results show that the cross-opening configurations provide a superior contaminant removal efficiency. The effect of seating layout on removal efficiency is significant, although it has a slight effect on air change rate (ACH). The best removal efficiency can be obtained when the passenger sits in the front seat with the right front window opening. Furthermore, the in-cabin ACH is almost linearly correlated with the driving speed. Higher speeds reduce contaminant concentrations faster. However, the risk of driver exposure does not depend solely on ACH, the peak cumulative contaminant concentration and residence time also need to be considered. This study offers data for the prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases.","PeriodicalId":13578,"journal":{"name":"Indoor and Built Environment","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141737127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While prior research has shown that ASHRAE Guideline 36 reduces energy consumption, its ability to withstand zone-level faults is understudied. This paper investigates the fault tolerance of supply air temperature (SAT) setpoint, duct static pressure (DSP) setpoint and mode of operation (MOP) in single-duct multi-zone VAV AHUs. First, customized sequences were defined for different scenarios in EnergyPlus in this study. Then, common actuator/sensor faults were injected into one zone to identify the most efficient fault-tolerant scenario. The results indicate that trim and respond reset logic is the most fault-tolerant scenario for this paper’s case study, with a 12% energy use intensity (EUI) increase for the SAT setpoint and an 11% increase for the DSP setpoint. Moreover, implementing an average temperature–based control for MOP significantly reduces the setup/setback mode activation, resulting in a lower EUI.","PeriodicalId":13578,"journal":{"name":"Indoor and Built Environment","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141737128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim is to provide guidance for improvement in the energy performance and thermal comfort of the accommodation structures, providing analysis extended to the eight Algerian climate zones. The adopted methodology was applied to a reference building hotel in Ghardaïa, Algeria. The energy model was validated through in-situ measurements and then the analysis was extended through EnergyPlus dynamic simulations to assess the influence of 13 design parameters using sensitivity analysis. Results reveal that design temperatures on the hottest days ranged from 34.4°C to 39.3°C, despite external temperatures reaching 45°C. The PMV-PPD model was most affected by space density, ventilation rate, infiltration, ventilation schedules, roof design and azimuth. Conversely, the adaptive model was influenced primarily by ventilation rate, window-to-wall ratio, lighting, space density, ventilation schedules, glazing and azimuth. This study underscores the potential for optimising hotels’ design to enhance thermal comfort and has broader relevance for regions with similar climates to Algeria. The findings offer insights for creating more comfortable indoor environments and fostering sustainable building practices in challenging climates.","PeriodicalId":13578,"journal":{"name":"Indoor and Built Environment","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141737153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Chinese government is prioritizing health in all policies and promoting environmental health work. However, deviations in the implementation of China’s environmental health policy, such as excessive or incomplete execution, could hinder progress. Studies have identified the main factors that are inhibiting effective policy implementation; these include incomplete grassroots policy mechanisms, cognitive biases amongst policy executors, varying acceptance of policy execution objects and environmental complexity. To mitigate these issues, several actions have been recommended including improving government mechanisms, enhancing technical support, developing talents, increasing public scientific literacy and considering the needs of policy executors and environmental complexity. The Internet, especially self-media platforms, can enhance policy communication, reduce information bias and foster a favourable environment for policy implementation. By using self-media’s dissemination mechanism effectively, we can strengthen public consensus and improve public scientific literacy in environmental health. This contributes to eliminating policy formulation and implementation deviations, fully leveraging the guiding role of policies and promoting the construction of a Healthy China.","PeriodicalId":13578,"journal":{"name":"Indoor and Built Environment","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140885338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, an economic analysis was conducted. The model validation showed excellent agreement between the measured and simulated values, with Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency of 0.98.
