Abstract To enable heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems to effectively work for the next generation-built environment by reducing unnecessary energy loads while also maintaining satisfactory thermal comfort conditions, this present introduces a demand-driven deep learning-based framework, which can be integrated with building management provide accurate predictions of occupancy activities. The developed framework utilises learning algorithm an artificial intelligence-powered...
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is a phenomenon whereby urban areas become warmer than their surrounding rural areas, due to the replacement of vegetation and soil with surfaces such as asphalt concrete. pavement tend absorb large amount heat through solar radiation increase air temperature, which affects operation building heating cooling systems, causing environmental problems thermal discomfort. However, this energy can be collected by water circulated buried copper pipes cool down...
Abstract Based on the design of traditional architecture, windcatchers are devices which provides passive ventilation by manipulating pressure differentials around buildings induced movement wind and difference in temperature. In temperature climates, it is effective providing cooling during summer months. However, winter months, low air supplied to space can cause further thermal discomfort increase heat loss lead higher energy consumption. This limits capabilities provide all year round....
Abstract Stronger typhoons have been more frequent in the Western Pacific region. Typhoon Haiyan caused widespread loss of life and destruction to properties when made landfall Philippines 2013. An estimated 1.1 million homes were damaged or destroyed aftermath. Damage surveys show extensive roofing damage evident most detached structures attributed strong winds. Clearly, there is a need evaluate current designs its structural integrity for it properly respond extreme environmental events...
Abstract Road renewable energy system has raised much attention from both industrial and academic research on how abundant solar radiation absorbed by road surfaces can be collected while reducing the impact of high surface temperature towards urban environment. Cities consume about 3% total global land mass with parking lots consuming around 35 to 50% use footprint. These networks permit dynamic movement human activities physical development cities. Remarkably, researches have given spaces...
Abstract Roof ventilation gives passive cooling effect in removing hot air from tropical climate buildings. However, little is known about the impacts of building parameters on ancient Myanmar multistage roof The authors believe that this first study to assess performance buildings taking into account their typologies, modes and climatic parameters. This paper presents two typologies by varying defined studies computational fluid dynamic simulations. Simulations were generated using 3D...
This research introduced the application of Photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) technology to road field forming pavement integrated PV/T system (PIPVT). While solving heat dissipation problem PV pavement, it can also recover that cannot be used by cells. A unit block hollow structure with tempered glass as protective layer and ABS plastic body was in this paper. 3D computational finite element model (FEM) based on ABAQUS analyse mechanical response above structure, a laboratory experiment conducted...
Abstract Super typhoon Haiyan made landfall in the Philippines last 2013 where an estimated 1.1 million homes were damaged. There was massive roofing damage houses due to strong winds. With increasing number of roof-mounted renewable energy installations, there is a clear need review current systems respond future climactic events. The approach for building performance analysis under wind loads involves lot tunnel tests, full scale testing and finite element modelling which heavily reliant...
This work proposes a novel design incorporating passive heat recovery device into windcatcher and investigates its performance using numerical experimental analysis.Numerical modelling testing were used to characterise the radial blade of rotary wheel in terms performance.Two configurations blades provide data that can be assess how air velocity is affected by design, pressure drop across transfer capabilities blades.To further potential proposed devices, it was incorporated...
