Elevated air movement produced by fans can offset air-conditioning energy requirements allowing temperature setpoints to be raised without compromising thermal comfort. These advantages are even greater in hot and humid climates that inherently have large sustained indoor cooling requirements. Few studies assessed the in-situ benefits of actual buildings. We installed ceiling desk into a Zero Energy office building (675 m2) Singapore. Across an 11-week period, 35 occupants alternated between...
Daylight can reduce electric lighting in buildings. This is facilitated by sensors that relay real-time illuminance data to a light controller. When daylight provides greater than required or desired levels of illuminance, control actions enable lights their output and save energy. Occupant behaviours block desk this reduces the amount energy saved. However, no method exists be used continuously monitor ensure they operate as intended (e.g. remain unblocked). We carried out study an...

In recent years, the energy conservation demand attracted much attention due to depletion of resource and environmental impact by increasing consumption. particular, heating, ventilation air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in buildings is responsible for significant portion global demand. Heat or recovery one key energy-efficient technologies, which reveals overcome increase consumption building without reducing indoor air quality. However, conventional heat system, only sensible was recovered,...
