Download or read book The Future of Thermal Comfort in an Energy Constrained World written by Tim Law and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-19 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissertation investigates the scientific and business factors that have resulted in air-conditioning being a major contributor to climate-change. With his architectural background, the author demonstrates how a design methodology, not commonly adopted in scientific studies, may actually be a suitable way of dealing with a complex problem: the 'business as usual' scenario involving building science, sociological values and consumer behavior. Using his innovations as case studies, the author shows how good ideas cannot be evaluated on scientific merit alone and demonstrates why commercialization may have a pivotal role in deployment of research-based technology. He advances the theory of personalized thermal comfort which can potentially resolve the air-conditioning conundrum.

This book was released on 1960 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report is concerned with the physiological adjustments of man and his subjective assessment of his environment as related to the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning of buildings. Its purpose is to present a review of the literature on the subject, to interpret the data where possible in terms of Canadian conditions and requirements, and to indicate those particular aspects in which further investigation by laboratory and field studies could yield benefits to building practice in Canada, through the achievement of indoor environmental conditions which approach the optimum. The design and construction of buildings for human occupancy are affected by many physiological factors, the most important being the provision for a controlled and adequate rate of heat loss from the human body. Excessive or greatly deficient rates of heat loss can produce harmful physiological stress in the body. Even minor deviations, if they cannot be prevented by the body vasomotor heat regulating mechanism, will cause marked sensations of discomfort. Control of the heat loss by adjustments in the physical environment is effected by regulation of air temperature, air motion, radiation exchange of the human body with the surrounding surfaces, and humidity. Such other factors as activity, type and amount of clothing, acclimatization, age, sex, and state of health of the occupants, as well as the rate of ventilation, the sterility of the air and its freedom from dust, fumes, and odors are also of considerable importance in the establishment of an environment conducive to human comfort and well-being."--Introduction.
Download or read book Heating and Cooling of Buildings written by Jan F. Kreider and published by McGraw-Hill Companies. This book was released on 2002 with total page 904 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heating and Cooling of Buildings, Second Edition by Kreider and Rable covers technologies-from materials to computers-that are exerting a profound effect on the design and operation of buildings. Numerous examples are presented and solved to reinforce important concepts and software applications are integrated throughout.The contents of this edition have been expanded to include a chapter on economic analysis and optimization, new heating and cooling load procedures, more than 200 new homework problems, and new and simplified procedures for ground coupling heat transfer calculations.One of the most notable difference in the second edition of this book is that many of the appendices from the first edition of this book have been moved to the accompanying CD-ROM. The CD-ROM amounts to a searchable database of tables, charts, and information on building codes. For example, there are more than 1,000 tables in the electronic appendices that can be searched by major categories, a table list, or an index of topics. The CD also directs students to the central web site where several hundred links are maintained to hep students find manufacturer and government data, browse in newsgroups, and find any corrections and updates to t e text and date tables. Students have come to expect this kind interaction through Internet searches.

Download or read book Adaptive Thermal Comfort Principles and Practice written by Fergus Nicol and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental function of buildings is to provide safe and healthy shelter. For the fortunate they also provide comfort and delight. In the twentieth century comfort became a 'product' produced by machines and run on cheap energy. In a world where fossil fuels are becoming ever scarcer and more expensive, and the climate more extreme, the challenge of designing comfortable buildings today requires a new approach. This timely book is the first in a trilogy from leaders in the field which will provide just that. It explains, in a clear and comprehensible manner, how we stay comfortable by using our bodies, minds, buildings and their systems to adapt to indoor and outdoor conditions which change with the weather and the climate. The book is in two sections. The first introduces the principles on which the theory of adaptive thermal comfort is based. The second explains how to use field studies to measure thermal comfort in practice and to analyze the data gathered. Architects have gradually passed responsibility for building performance to service engineers who are largely trained to see comfort as the ‘product’, designed using simplistic comfort models. The result has contributed to a shift to buildings that use ever more energy. A growing international consensus now calls for low-energy buildings. This means designers must first produce robust, passive structures that provide occupants with many opportunities to make changes to suit their environmental needs. Ventilation using free, natural energy should be preferred and mechanical conditioning only used when the climate demands it. This book outlines the theory of adaptive thermal comfort that is essential to understand and inform such building designs. This book should be required reading for all students, teachers and practitioners of architecture, building engineering and management – for all who have a role in producing, and occupying, twenty-first century adaptive, low-carbon, comfortable buildings.
