Download or read book System Performance Evaluation and Design Guidelines for Displacement Ventilation written by Qingyan Chen and published by American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents system performance evaluation, and includes a 10-step design guideline for displacement ventilation systems for U.S. buildings. These design guidelines present two important models: 1) to calculate the temperature difference between the head and the foot level of an occupant; and 2) one to determine the ventilation effectiveness at the breathing level.The book notes that: A displacement ventilation system can provide a thermally comfortable indoor environment at a high cooling load through careful design. The indoor air quality in a space with displacement ventilation is better if the contaminant sources are associates with the heat sources. The displacement ventilation system can also save energy but requires a separate heating system if it is applied to building perimeter zones. 6 x 9, soft cover.

Download or read book Perimeter Chilled Beams written by D. Butler and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Passive chilled beams installed in the perimeter of buildings can be highly effective for off-setting direct solar gains and ensuring good thermal comfort in the perimeter zone. This form of cooling is also potentially more energy efficient than traditional low temperature, chilled water based air conditioning because it uses relatively warm chilled water. This is conducive to high chiller efficiency and also opens up opportunities for designers to specify 'free' or environmental cooling. Unfortunately the performance of perimeter chilled beams has been shown to be very sensitive to the design and configuration of the perimeter area, including suspended ceilings and window blinds. In practice this has often led to poor performance and conflict with architectural and aesthetic requirements. This paper presents the findings of a research project that has investigated the performance of perimeter chilled beams and developed guidance on avoiding the design pitfalls.

Download or read book Cfd Simulation of Airflow Distribution with Active Chilled Beam Ac written by Abhijyoth Reddy Vempati and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chilled beam air-conditioning technology evolved in Europe in the late 1970s. These systems are supposedly more energy efficient and are claimed to be reducing electricity usage by about 20-30% because of reduced fan power requirement. It is designed based on the concept of nozzles. The primary airflow coming from the ducts pass through nozzles inside the beam unit to create a high velocity jet which in turn creates a low pressure region and induces part of the room air into the air-conditioning unit. This induced air is cooled and then mixed with primary air which is sent back for air conditioning. Because of the reduced fan power requirement to pump the air, the chilled beam unit turns out to be energy efficient. The objective of this research was to investigate the air velocity and temperature distribution inside a room fitted with two active chilled beams using the commercial CFD solver-FLUENT. Numerical results have been validated by velocity measurements obtained from TROX DID 612B-HC active chilled beam selection program. The results obtained from the numerical simulations agreed well with the empirical data available from the TROX selection program.
Download or read book Modern Architecture and Climate written by Daniel A. Barber and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How climate influenced the design strategies of modernist architects Modern Architecture and Climate explores how leading architects of the twentieth century incorporated climate-mediating strategies into their designs, and shows how regional approaches to climate adaptability were essential to the development of modern architecture. Focusing on the period surrounding World War II—before fossil-fuel powered air-conditioning became widely available—Daniel Barber brings to light a vibrant and dynamic architectural discussion involving design, materials, and shading systems as means of interior climate control. He looks at projects by well-known architects such as Richard Neutra, Le Corbusier, Lúcio Costa, Mies van der Rohe, and Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, and the work of climate-focused architects such as MMM Roberto, Olgyay and Olgyay, and Cliff May. Drawing on the editorial projects of James Marston Fitch, Elizabeth Gordon, and others, he demonstrates how images and diagrams produced by architects helped conceptualize climate knowledge, alongside the work of meteorologists, physicists, engineers, and social scientists. Barber describes how this novel type of environmental media catalyzed new ways of thinking about climate and architectural design. Extensively illustrated with archival material, Modern Architecture and Climate provides global perspectives on modern architecture and its evolving relationship with a changing climate, showcasing designs from Latin America, Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Africa. This timely and important book reconciles the cultural dynamism of architecture with the material realities of ever-increasing carbon emissions from the mechanical cooling systems of buildings, and offers a historical foundation for today’s zero-carbon design.
