The increase outdoor temperature acts directly on the indoor climate of buildings. In Cameroon, energy consumption demand in buildings sector has been rapidly increasing recent years; so well that supply does not always satisfy demand. Thermal insulation technology can be one leading methods for reducing these new However, choosing thickness material often causes high costs. present study, optimum thickness, saving and payback period were calculated Yaoundé Garoua cities, located two...
AbstractAn optimum design of low-cost housing offers low-income urban inhabitants great opportunities to obtain a shelter at an affordable price and acceptable indoor thermal conditions. In this paper, the operation dwelling were numerically optimized using simulation-based approach. Three multi-objective cost functions including construction cost, comfort performance 50-year operating applied for naturally ventilated air-conditioned buildings. Thermal environment inside house was controlled...
Buildings are significant drivers of greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. Improving the thermal comfort occupants in free-running buildings avoiding active fossil fuel-based systems is main challenge many cities worldwide. However, impacts passive design measures on cold semi-arid regions seldom studied. With rapid urbanization widespread use personalised heating cooling systems, there a need to inform building designers city authorities about that can achieve nearly optimal...
There are increasing concerns regarding the quality of urban public spaces. Wind is one important environmental factor that influences pedestrians' comfort and safety. In modern cities there numbers high constructions complex forms which can involve problems significant wind discomfort around these buildings. Architects town planners need guidelines simple design tools to take account in their projects. This paper reports progress made using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for...
