Five thermal insulation materials as extruded polystyrene (XPS), expanded polystyrene (EPS), rockwool (RW), glass wool (GW), and cellular glass (CG), were studied with four> attribute variations (thermal comfort, density, embodied carbon, and embodied energy) and five thickness variations (0.04, 0.08, 0.12, 0.16, 0.20 m). A total of 100 alternative scenarios> were obtained for the decision-making process, with four performance criteria to be evaluated in terms of energy, cost, thermal comfort, and environmental impact. Equal weights method (EWM), weighted sum method (WSM), and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) were examined for the multi-criteria decision-making among 46 scenariosvel. The analysis beyond the cost-optimal energy efficiency level, which varies between 64.89 and 72.62 kWh/m2a for primary energy use with a potential 10% further reduction, ensures the European Commission’s recommendations that target 50–70 kWh/m2a of primary energy use for housings in the continental climate to achieve nZEB. The best scenarios cover significantly the XPS at the head due to lover investment costs, where RW, GW, and EPS are followed among the best 10 scenarios, respectively. Besides, AHP provides a more effective distribution of weighting factors than the WSM where the best scenarios of the AHP covers 12 cm thermal insulation alternatives by balancing the investment costs and energy efficiency levels. The paper provides insight into thermal insulation material selection while searching for the advantages and priorities of thermal insulation materials’ attributes beyond the cost-optimal energy efficiency level to reach the nZEB range.","PeriodicalId":50249,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Building Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140370572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To understand the effects of air entrapment on water transfer in porous building materials in the high-water-saturation region, we examined the water transfer characteristics corresponding to significantly small air entrapment effects. First, we conducted two sets of water uptake experiments. In the first experiment, using three building materials, the time evolution of the amount of water absorption was measured at a low air pressure near vacuum (several kPa). In the second experiment, the water content profile during water uptake was measured using the gamma-ray attenuation method. The experimental results showed that low air pressure accelerated the water uptake by the brick and aerated concrete specimens, whereas water uptake by the calcium silicate board specimens was not significantly affected. These differences among materials were analyzed from a pore structure viewpoint. Moreover, gamma-ray attenuation measurements confirmed that the obtained water content profile was qualitatively similar at atmospheric and low air pressures, although the low air pressure increased both the water content of the material after capillary absorption and the wetting front propagation rate. Finally, simultaneous water and air transfer calculations based on the air and liquid water balance in a material reproduced the measured water absorption rates well, confirming that air entrapment and pressure development in the pores can significantly reduce the rate of water uptake and water content after capillary absorption. The calculation results also indicated that the air pressure in a material did not significantly increase at early water uptake stages where local water content was not high, which supported the general assumption that treating the liquid-water transfer in porous building materials as a one-component flow is valid in most cases.","PeriodicalId":50249,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Building Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140203885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Excavated earth is an admixture of water, gravel, sand, and fine particles. A small amount of gravel (<4% by weight) was removed, and the tunnel-excavated earth is used to elaborate plasters. Cement and slag are used as stabilizers in ExE-based plasters and reinforced with natural hemp fibers. The physical, mechanical, thermal, and hydric properties of ExE-based plasters are investigated. The increase in cement content affects the workability of ExE-based plasters in a fresh state, while the addition of natural hemp fibers has no significant effect on the workability. It has been demonstrated that the mechanical performances (compressive strength, flexural strength, and dynamic modulus) of ExE-based plasters increase with the increase of cement content and decrease with the increase in slag content. The hemp fiber addition (0.8% by weight) shows no considerable effect on the ExE-based plaster’s mechanical performance. As for the thermal properties, the increase of cement and slag contents negatively affects the thermal conductivity. The increase in cement content decreases the water absorption of earth-plasters. Except for some tests (shrinkage, main cohesion, and cracking tests), which have not been done in this study, the results of cement-stabilized ExE-based plasters (7% and 9%) are in accordance with the recommendation of the DIN 18947 standard, indicating that the tunnel excavated earth can be used as earth-plasters.","PeriodicalId":50249,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Building Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140153909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the detached house is taken as the research object, and the sensitivity analysis method is used to quantify the influence of each parameter on the building heat load in three different climate zones. The attenuation characteristics of the heat storage body to the outdoor temperature wave are studied by using the A·M Shklovel calculation method, and the thermal insulation strategy of the envelope structure is optimized by genetic algorithm (GA). The results show that the heat transfer coefficient of roof and exterior wall has the most significant influence on the building heat load. The mean effect response of each factor shows that the Delta (Delta is the value used in Taguchi design methodology to express the relative effect of each factor on the response) of roofs in the three regions is the highest, 3.061, 4.061, and 5.88, respectively. The influence of the type and thickness of the insulation material on the heat storage performance is different. The indoor and outdoor temperature wave penetration attenuation multiple increases with the increase of the thickness of the insulation layer, increases with the decrease of the thermal conductivity of the insulation material, and increases with the increase of the specific heat capacity. The choice of insulation materials is not only related to the above two parameters, but also directly affected by the price. Considering the influence of various factors, the economy of choosing expanded polystyrene board for thermal insulation in the three regions is the best. The optimal thermal insulation thickness of the north wall and roof is 8 and 16 cm (3A climate zone), 10 and 17 cm (2B climate zone), 13 and 20 cm (2A climate zone), respectively.","PeriodicalId":50249,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Building Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139949464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most existing experimental techniques, however, typically focus on macroscopic moisture contents in samples rather than the microscopic distribution of water in the individual pores of building materials. For the latter, a popular method such as X-ray computed tomography is not readily applicable, due to the gap between its spatial resolution limit and the typical pore sizes of building materials. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry is capable of measuring water in pores of both the nanometer and micrometer scale and is therefore an interesting possibility. While most NMR research focusses on water-saturated materials or overall moisture contents, this study determines the size distributions of the water islands in unsaturated materials with NMR, and compares results to X-ray computed tomography (XCT) images and pore network model (PNM) simulations. Results on unsaturated materials show that NMR focusses on the biggest water islands (i.e. in capillary filled pores) and disregards the hydrogen nuclei in smaller water islands (i.e. stored in pore corners). NMR relaxometry is therefore only adept at providing very rough estimates of the size of water-filled pores, especially since post-processing of the NMR experiments to obtain these water island size distributions involves a lot of uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":50249,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Building Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139949541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The indoor environment significantly impacts human health and well-being, considering the substantial time spent indoors and the potential health and safety risks faced daily. To ensure occupants’ thermal comfort and indoor air quality, airflow simulations in the built environment must be efficient and precise. This study proposes a novel approach combining Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations with machine learning techniques to predict indoor airflow. Specifically, we investigate the viability of employing a Deep Neural Network (DNN) model for accurately forecasting indoor airflow dispersion. The quantitative results reveal the DNN’s ability to faithfully reproduce indoor airflow patterns and temperature distributions. Furthermore, DNN approaches to investigate indoor airflow in the residential building achieved an 80% reduction in the time required to anticipate testing scenarios compared with CFD simulation, underscoring the potential for efficient indoor airflow prediction. This research underscores the feasibility and effectiveness of a data-driven approach, enabling swift and accurate indoor airflow predictions in naturally ventilated residential buildings. Such predictive models hold significant promise for optimizing indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency, thereby contributing to sustainable building design and operation.","PeriodicalId":50249,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Building Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139440807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous studies have been conducted to explore their research potential. Nevertheless, the application of deep learning models in optimizing building energy systems, particularly in a multi-step solar radiation prediction model for model predictive control (MPC), remains a challenging task. This is mainly due to the intricacy of the time series and the possibility of accumulating errors in multistep forecasts. In this study, we propose the development of a transformer-based attention model for predicting multi-step solar irradiation at least 24 h in advance. The model is trained and tested using measured solar irradiation data and temperature forecast data obtained from the Tokyo Meteorological Agency. The findings indicate that the transformer model has the capability to effectively mitigate the issue of error accumulation. Additionally, the generative model exhibits a significant improvement in accuracy, with a 62.35% increase when compared to the conventional regression LSTM model. Additionally, the transformer model has been shown to attain superior prediction stability, mitigate the effects of error accumulation in multi-step forecasting, and circumvent training challenges stemming from gradient propagation issues that can occur with recurrent neural networks.","PeriodicalId":50249,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Building Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139442803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus is on achieving an intricate balance between maximizing natural daylight and minimizing solar radiation using innovative kinetic facade designs. Parametric modeling tools are utilized in the design process to experiment with various facade configurations. The effectiveness of these designs is then validated using both digital and physical prototypes, with their adaptability to diverse climatic conditions evaluated through dynamic simulations. A key component of the study is the application of the Wallacei plugin for Grasshopper, which assists in multi-objective optimization to determine the most effective facade aperture ratios. The results demonstrates a substantial reduction in solar radiation levels, with a 70% decrease on the first floor and a 76% decrease on the seventh floor, achieved by optimizing aperture ratios. The study concludes that optimizing kinetic facades significantly improves building performance compared to traditional glass facades, offering an effective balance between daylight enhancement and solar radiation reduction, influenced by seasonal changes. It also emphasizes the importance of factors such as building height and the surrounding environment in facade design.

Additionally, the study examines the impact of different electricity prices on the annual cost value of the heating systems, as well as the optimal heating system configuration and its effect on the annual cost value under varying electricity prices. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) The density of people in the competition hall is much higher than that in the practice area, and the competition hall is located in the inner area with no external heat transfer protection structure, only the roof is used for heat exchange. The heat load in the competition hall (14.43 W/m2) is lower than that in the practice area (81.41 W/m2); (2) Through the economic analysis of two solar composite heating systems with different heat collection areas. The optimal heat collection area of the solar coupled electric boiler system and the solar coupled air source heat pump are 3024 and 2394 m2, respectively, and the minimum annual cost are 1,132,300 and 699,200 CNY, respectively; and (3) An economic analysis is conducted on the four heating systems at different electricity prices. When the electricity price is between 0.5 and 1.0 CNY/kWh, the air-source heat pump coupled with electric boiler system has the lowest annual cost value.
