In this framework, numerous studies have been done in the aim to evaluate the parameters that affect the indoor thermal comfort. This paper focuses on a numerical investigation of Reynolds number (Re) effect on the airflow characteristics and the discomfort due to the draft for a ventilated cabin prototype. A series of numerical simulations were performed using the software ANSYS FLUENT 17.0. As observed in the numerical results, the Reynolds number has a major impact on the velocity fields, the static pressure and the turbulence characteristics. Hence, robust correlations between the velocity, the turbulence characteristics and the Reynolds number were presented. Furthermore, the numerical results highlighted that the Reynolds number has a direct impact on the discomfort due to the draft. In the median plane, the maximum value of predicted Percent Dissatisfied due to the draft (PD %) for Re = 6666 decreased by 2.7, 2.07 and 1.58 times the values reached by Re = 26666, Re = 20000 and Re = 13333 respectively. Accordingly, this paper presents the behaviour of airflow in the indoor environment that it will be useful in buildings design.","PeriodicalId":46184,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Building Energy Research","volume":"14 1","pages":"424 - 449"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17512549.2019.1660711","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45328092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research examines the ventilation performance sensitivity of atria, innovative façade openings and interior layouts of open-plan offices, in order to identify optimal typologies. Different building typologies are developed through a combination of various atria designs and configurations, with the effective use of high-aspect-ratio (HAR) openings with a similar dimension to that of the floor-to-ceiling height, in either a mid-level vertical (MLV) or high-level horizontal (HLH) orientation. Steady-state computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are performed to predict internal airflow and temperature distribution in a moderate climate and water-bath modelling (WBM) experiments to validate the computational models. Results showed that MLV provide superior cooling potential (up to 2.5°C reductions) and higher ventilations rates; despite, increasing thermal gradients. Unobstructed atria with a horizontal profile similar to that of the building footprint also performed well. Overall, façade opening design was shown to be the most influential design parameter.

A detached residential dwelling, representative of approximately 40% of the residential stock in Ireland, was selected as experimental test bed. The building was progressively retrofitted to an all-electric dwelling. Retrofit measures included the installation of a photovoltaic array, a geothermal heat pump, an electric vehicle charging point, along with building fabric upgrades. The building was equipped with a home area network with more than 30 sensors with 15 min monitoring resolution. The experimental data collected during the experimental campaign aided the comprehensive calibration of an EnergyPlus model. This model was used to investigate the effectiveness of the implemented retrofit measures in terms of energy savings and CO2 reductions. Real-time data from the Irish power system operator was used to calculate the building carbon footprint for different levels of renewable energy penetration to the national grid. Results show that the all-electric retrofitted building can achieve energy savings of up to 45%, with CO2 reductions of approximately 29%, compared to the pre-retrofitted building. Implementing the retrofit measures at scale could potentially lead to carbon emission reductions up to 14% for rural areas in Ireland.","PeriodicalId":46184,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Building Energy Research","volume":"16 1","pages":"89 - 117"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17512549.2020.1801504","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44251023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sandwich panels are known for their high thermal efficiency however, this research proposed the integration of a PCM concrete layer to maximize the ability of PCM to store heat and slow down the rate of heat transfer. The thermal behaviour was tested by supplying heat energy to specimens until the core temperature reached 60°C. Specimens were allowed to cool until the core temperature returned to 40°C. The thermal behaviour was recorded and analysed. Three specimen types were tested: solid panels (SL), sandwich panels (SW) with and without a PCM concrete layer. For all SW panels, a 10-mm air gap was introduced between two layers at three different locations. Results showed that the air gap behaviour was modified with the heat transfer process by creating temperature lagging, thus resulting in a slower rate of heat transfer across the specimens. The temperature lagging was observed in SW panels and varied depending on the location of the air gap. The application of PCM in SW panels further reduced the rate of heat transfer and decreased the fluctuation of temperature lagging magnitude.","PeriodicalId":46184,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Building Energy Research","volume":"16 1","pages":"64 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17512549.2020.1788990","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47427377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines how the combination of thermal mass and insulation influences building energy use in eight U.S. climate zones through Energy Plus simulation. The measuring parameters include the concrete wall thickness and relative location of thermal insulation with respect to the thermal mass wall. Building energy consumption is measured in terms of annual heating and cooling energy demands, as well as total energy use. The paper presents conclusions about the potential benefits of thermal mass and insulation for office occupancy. The results have shown that in cold climates the addition of thermal insulation to a concrete enclosure provides significant further benefits beyond those provided by thermal mass alone, whereas in hot locations those benefits are fewer. These results also indicate that other influential design variables such as occupancy type could also demonstrate broader implications of the integration of thermal mass and insulation in different climate zones.","PeriodicalId":46184,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Building Energy Research","volume":"14 1","pages":"322 - 337"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17512549.2018.1547220","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46797539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three cities shift into uncategorized zone. According to the building energy standards for residential buildings, the maximum U-factor allowed for building envelope will increase and overall shading coefficient allowed for windows will decrease when the city is reassigned into a warmer zone.

Thermal energy self-sufficiency is enlarged by driving a heat pump (HP) with the electricity surplus of the PV system. The size of the thermal storage tank was varied from 0.3 up to 50 m3. Further on, the effect of using the building mass as a thermal storage was investigated. The considerations deal with theoretical investigations of the sizing of both electrical- and thermal storage systems in order to reduce the load on the supply grids under economic conditions. The investigation of storage capacities is based on thermal-energetic building and plant simulations. A new cost-benefit assessment for storage systems, which considers calendrical lifespan and charging cycles, is presented. The simulation results show that small to middle sized decentralized electrical and thermal storage are an economic way to keep the power grid stable during day cycle, while reducing CO2-emissions by using more renewable energies. Here the thermal mass of the building can also be used as a short-term storage. Running seasonal storage that guaranties 100% grid independence economical is almost impossible today.","PeriodicalId":46184,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Building Energy Research","volume":"14 1","pages":"355 - 371"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17512549.2019.1588166","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41983177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
