Mosques serve as pivotal hubs for Muslim worship, accommodating intermittent prayer sessions occurring five times daily. Comprehending the environmental dynamics within air-conditioned structures experiencing varying occupancy is imperative informed design decisions. This study aims to analyse a Malaysian mosque's thermal conditions, including comfort temperatures and compliance with standards. It also seeks assess indoor air quality by measuring CO2 concentrations estimating ventilation...
This investigation of the window-opening data from extensive field surveys in UK office buildings demonstrates: (1) how people control indoor environment by opening windows; (2) cooling potential and (3) use an 'adaptive algorithm' for predicting behaviour thermal simulation ESP-r. It was found that when window open mean outdoor temperatures were higher than closed, but it shown nonetheless there a useful effect window. The adaptive algorithm then used studies some typical designs. results...
This study investigates the seasonal adaptation to temperature that occurs in Japanese offices, with a view suggesting an adaptive model for them. Temperatures were measured 11 office buildings and thermal comfort transverse surveys of occupants conducted over year Tokyo Yokohama areas Japan. A total 4660 samples collected from about 1350 people. The found be highly satisfied environment their offices. Even though government recommends indoor setting 28°C cooling 20°C heating, globe was...
Abstract This study described in this paper was undertaken to investigate comfort temperatures and related behaviours Japanese homes. In it were measured the living rooms a thermal survey of residents window-opening behavioural completed over full year Gifu region Japan. The found be highly satisfied with environment their houses. Significant seasonal differences temperatures. results showed that temperature changes varied both indoor outdoor climate. strength relationship between justified...
In order to quantify the seasonal differences in comfort temperature and develop a domestic adaptive model for Japanese dwellings, thermal measurements, survey, an occupant behaviour survey were conducted 4 years living bedrooms of dwellings Kanto region Japan. We have collected 36,114 votes from 244 residents 120 dwellings. The results show that are highly satisfied with environment their People well-adapted condition thus has large free running mode (FR): 9.4 K. An housing was derived data...
