Abstract:
The urban heat island, where the urban area air temperature is higher than the nearby rural or semi-rural air temperature reference site, is now hopefully well known. The urban heat island intensity is the actual urban air temperature minus the rural air temperature. However, the “air conditioned urban heat island intensity” is measured by the air temperature sensor in an air conditioning condenser unit minus the rural air temperature. This is often different to the standard urban heat island intensity. Designers need to appreciate this difference, as it determines how the air conditioning system performs. It is most likely affected by the radiant temperature. This can also vary significantly from the rural, semi-rural radiant temperature due to the variation in solar absorptance of the urban buildings and the shading effects. Measurements have shown significant variations in the infrared temperatures over the urban areas. Calculations of the radiant absorption and long wave radiation loss also show significant differences to the rural counterparts in frequency and magnitude. This “surface urban heat island” is important for air conditioning plant situated often in areas exposed to solar irradiation. The exhaust air from the air conditioning units itself is also briefly considered. This paper examines these effects and proposes how the engineer can include for them in design. Practical application:The results of this paper will be useful for designers of buildings with air conditioning and air conditioning plant itself to assess the effect of the micro urban heat island. This micro urban heat island surrounds the air conditioning plant. The example is for London.

Abstract:
This project is based on the design and construction of an industrial air conditioning system for the improvement of the working thermal comfort of workers that for various reasons there is the trend of the increase in body temperature are these by machines, equipment or the same work activities, which affects the productive performance and possible health risks. During development, the selection of mechanical equipment such as the fan, water pump, ventilation transport ducts is studied with high rates of energy efficiency. In the light of the above, the environmental economic partner alternative is chosen to implement the evaporative conditioning system, conducive to working in open places to lower the temperature by labor and technology installed in the production areas, as well as the extraction of fumes derived from production processes. The importance of the evaporative conditioning system is to derive the appropriate mechanisms to take advantage of the surface heat transfer of a panel and copper and aluminum coil using water, and thus take advantage of its temperature differential reaching 25oC, with an average humidity of 66% and energy consumption of 0.29 KW/h.

Abstract:
Constant-air-volume (CAV) air-conditioning systems consist mainly of two local processes: an air-handling process and a room temperature process. A robust model predictive control (RMPC) strategy was developed for CAV air-conditioning systems, which adopted two uncertain first-order plus time-delay models to describe the dynamics of the local processes and used a linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based optimisation technique to optimise the control law. This paper develops a new control design, which reformulates the prediction models by shifting the uncertainties of the first model into the second one, and then uses the reformulated prediction models in the RMPC strategy. This paper will show that compared with the original design, the new control design can enhance the feasibility of the optimisation of control law, reduce the computational burden of the optimisation and also remove the requirement of a sensor for supply air temperature in the original design. Practical applications: The new design method is a further development of a RMPC strategy presented in Xu et al.13 It inherits the benefits of the original control design for practical application, i.e. uncertainties and constraints can be dealt with simultaneously in the design and the robustness of the controlled system can be enhanced. The new design improves the optimisation feasibility, reduces the computational complexity and does not need to measure the supply air temperature. When the new design is adopted to replace the traditional PI control, there is no necessity to change the existent input structure of the PI control. Hence, the new design can be realised in practice easier than the original design.

Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to develop a year-round energy-efficient air conditioning system for the temple complex, that meets modern engineering requirements and standards. And it should not violate the traditional appearance of an Orthodox church. In this article there are considered the requirements and standards for the construction of the temple complex together with the architectural solution and the geographical location of the construction entity. The proposed air conditioning system (ACS) with a pneumohydraulic diagram and design modes is described. This system is valid for the summer and winter seasons. The main element of the ACS of the temple complex is an array of heat pipes. The efficiency of the installation is achieved, first of all, due to the recovery of soil heat in the annual cycle. In addition, efficiency is increased by utilizing the heat of the waste air stream and indoor recirculation systems. The article represents a constructive solution for the proposed heat pipe and its design modes of operation in the summer and winter periods together with the expected technical characteristics in different modes of operation, as well as design options for the upper heat exchanger. There is given the concept of the arrangement of the elements of the pneumohydraulic diagram on the cartographic plan of the building and their mutual correlation with the intensity of the operating mode for the soil. And the last, but not least, the article represents a simulation of the annual soil regime, calculated by the finite element method, performed in the ANSYS computational environment.

Abstract:
In hot and humid tropical countries, the air-conditioning system has a high energy usage in commercial buildings. This study introduces a static balance duct design method for a temperature dependent variable air volume system. Ducts are looped together, which cause the air to self-balance and minimize the pressure loss across the duct network. The static balance duct network can easily identify the critical zone of highest pressure loss. This zone appears at the longest duct length from the air source and is always consistent for different load conditions. The air supplied to this critical zone is controlled by the zone temperature sensor, which directs feedback to the variable frequency drive fan of the air-handling unit. The rest of the variable air volume terminal units are zone temperature controlled. The duct looping design mitigates the problems in pressure variations and complements the temperature dependent control strategy. An open office case study is carried out to demonstrate the merit of the static balance duct design method. An actual installation was completed in a shopping mall. The recorded temperature readings verified that the static balance duct network and temperature dependent variable air volume air-conditioning system is operational and functional. Approximately 27% energy savings is achieved compared to the constant air volume system. Practical application: The static balance duct design method is a combination of equal friction duct design method and a loop duct network. This static balance duct network can identify the critical zone of highest pressure loss and this zone is always consistent. In this temperature-dependent variable air volume (TDVAV), the variable air volume (VAV) terminal unit at the critical zone is eliminated. The zone temperature sensor at the critical zone provides direct feedback to the variable frequency drive fan. All other terminal units are temperature dependent. The static balance TDVAV system enhances energy savings, improves the performance of VAV system and reduces the faults for VAV systems.

Abstract:
With much of the Arabian Peninsula characterized by hot and arid weather conditions during long summer seasons, residents are forced to rely on air conditioning to cool their surroundings. Before the construction of air conditioning infrastructures, many would leave the coast during the summer months to head to oases, such as Al Ain near Abu Dhabi, or live in tents in the desert to find relief from the heat. From the 1950s, European and American building practices shaped the region with little consideration of vernacular design elements or energy conservation. These building practices introduced air conditioning as a cooling method. For instance, the 1951 Report of Operations to the Saudi Arab Government by the Arabian American Oil Company explained how “automobiles, air conditioning units, sewing machines, washing machines, refrigerators, and many other modern conveniences are now readily available” in Al Hasa, a significant region for Aramco's operations on the east of Saudi Arabia. By 1952, workers residing in Aramco's camps could have air conditioning units installed in their rooms on a rental basis. Air conditioning technology reconfigured urban environments, altering the relationship between indoors and outdoors, and ultimately constituting what Jiat-Hwee Chang and Tim Winter term a “thermal modernity” that transforms how built forms are imagined and inhabited. The current widespread use of air conditioning in the region is therefore connected not only to high temperatures, but also to how air conditioning is singled out as the ultimate technical fix in confronting the climate. Other solutions to managing heat, such as improving insulation mechanisms for residences and office buildings, have been less pervasive.

Abstract:
The focus of this work is to simulate and optimize thermal comfort in a ship air-conditioning system by evaluating the performance of different types of air supply outlets. Thermal comfort analyses were performed in Solidworks Flow Simulation software by changing the number, type and position of air supply outlets and the comfort was optimized by evaluating the values of temperature, velocity, PMV (Predicted mean vote) & PPD (Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied). It was concluded from the results obtained from different analyses that air supply outlet is a vital part in any type of HVAC (Heating ventilation & air conditioning) system design, as its number, type and position has significant effect on the air distribution and thermal comfort in a subject space. It was also deduced that improper selection of air supply outlet can result in room air stagnation, unacceptable temperature gradients, and undesirable velocities in the occupied zone that may lead to occupant discomfort. Through this work the importance and effectiveness of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) design tools, in the design & optimization of HVAC systems has been evaluated and it was concluded that CFD design software like Solidworks flow simulation provide an excellent provision to validate different aspects of HVAC design before actual construction.

Abstract:
The liquid desiccant enthalpy recovery is an efficient way to save energy in air-conditioning systems. In this study, a counter-flow liquid desiccant enthalpy recovery device was proposed and experimentally analyzed. Enthalpy transfer capacity, enthalpy efficiency and pressure drop per height of packing were used as indices to describe its performances. Based on the experiment results, the heat and mass transfer model of a packed tower was used to simulate and optimize the performance of this device. The maximum enthalpy efficiency and enthalpy transfer capacity were achieved when the optimal air velocity (1.9–2.1 m/s in this study) maintained to be slightly below the air velocity at the loading point and the thermal capacity ratio of air to desiccant ( m*) equaled to 1. These conclusions are valuable to both design and operation of such an enthalpy recovery device. Practical application: A counter-flow enthalpy recovery device with liquid desiccant was proposed and experimentally investigated. Based on the experiment results, a numerical model for this device was built and validated. The optimal air and desiccant mass fluxes were analyzed to maximize the enthalpy efficiency of this device, which could be higher than the conventional device with cross-flow pattern. These results could provide guidelines for both design and operation management of counter-flow enthalpy recovery devices in liquid desiccant-based air-conditioning systems.

Abstract:
AbstractConsidering the current gradual depletion of non-renewable primary sources, it is necessary to address the reduction of energy consumption in ventilation and air conditioning systems. Although heat recovery alone reduces the energy intensity of these systems, if moisture recovery is considered as well, the contribution in reducing energy consumption is significant. These are mainly the devices designed primarily for spaces where people stay permanently, which do not allow large fluctuations in temperature and humidity. In cooperation with the manufacturer of heat recovery exchangers, we determined our own method of comparing different types of materials that could be used to design an exchanger which would also allow moisture recovery. These results in a significant reduction in energy consumption used to humidify the air in ventilation and air conditioning systems. It is one of the possible ways how to compare individual samples that are being measured. This article primarily deals with the comparison of three different types of materials, out of the total number of twelve measured samples.

Abstract:
The design and construction of buildings is currently subject to a growing set of requirements concerning sustainability and energy efficiency. This paper shows a case study of the Torre Sevilla skyscraper, located in the city of Seville (in the south of Spain), which has high-tech energy-efficient features and which uses air-conditioning systems during most of its operating hours. The analysis carried out starts from a simulation in which occupants’ thermal comfort are obtained, based on the adaptive comfort model defined in the standard EN 15251:2007. With this approach, it is possible to determine the number of hours during operation in which the building has adequate comfort conditions only with the help of the envelope and natural ventilation. Consequently, the remaining useful hours require the use of air-conditioning systems. The results show that it is possible to improve the thermal performance of the building due to its location in the Mediterranean climate. To do this, advanced mixed mode (through manual-opening or mechanically-controlled opening windows) and active air-conditioning are suggested. This experimental proposal provides a reduction of the occupation hours which require the use of air-conditioning equipment by 28.57%, reducing the air-conditioning demand and, consequently, the energy consumption of the building.

Abstract:
The effect of heat pipe heat exchanger on the heat recovery was studied in the tropics. The performance of the heat exchanger was monitored during the one week of operation (168 h) to find out the performance characteristic curves. Three coil face velocities namely, 2, 2.2 and 2.5 m/s were tested and the temperature of return air was controlled at 24°C. The relevant empirical equations were then employed for the hour-by-hour prediction of the energy recovery by the heat pipe heat exchanger for the whole year. The impact of inside design temperature on the heat recovery by the heat exchanger was also studied. The thermal performance of the heat pipe heat exchanger was simulated based on the effectiveness-NTU method and the theoretical values were compared with the experimental data. Practical application: Performance improvement of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems is a challenge to the designers. The results obtained from this research work could serve as a practical guide for engineers who are intending to use heat pipe heat exchangers in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems operating in tropical climates. Engineers and researchers have the potential to use the recommended empirical performance equations to examine the impact of heat pipe heat exchangers on the performance of the current air conditioning systems. Moreover, these empirical performance equations enable the year-round operating effect of heat pipe heat exchangers on energy savings to be predicted realistically.

In recent years, the construction industry has developed rapidly, and there are more and more urban construction projects. The corresponding design requirements for HVAC systems are also getting higher and higher. HVAC has been widely used in all kinds of buildings. While providing convenience for people, environmental pollution has gradually become a topic of concern for people. Therefore, when designing the HVAC system, HVAC not only meets the needs of customers, but also uses green energy saving technology to reduce energy consumption as far as possible. Reduce environmental pollution, so that the HVAC ventilation system of tall buildings can be in a stable and efficient operation state. Improve the operation effect of air conditioning, while reducing energy consumption.

Abstract:
This article presents a review of the main aspects regarding the current rules of classification societies, standards, and practice regarding the design and construction of ventilation and air conditioning systems for different compartments in different types of ships. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper also presents the usual practice of the actual heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems used on large ships, which recirculate the air between living compartments, in comparison with the new requirements to avoid the risk of spreading diseases. According to the rules, the technical compartments are provided with independent ventilation systems that ensure high air flow rates; therefore, the spread of diseases through this system is not an issue. The living spaces are provided with common ventilation and air conditioning systems that recirculate the air in all compartments served. The current practice of air recirculation in various living rooms leads to the spread of diseases, which should therefore be analyzed and improved by adding high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and UV disinfection or be replaced with individual systems that provide local heating or cooling without air recirculation between different rooms and fresh air supply with complete evacuation. For existing ships, different solutions should be analyzed such as reducing or cancelling recirculation and increasing filtration.

Abstract:
For the thermal comfort of passengers in modern trains thermodynamic parameters such as pressure, temperature and relative humidity are important, but also technical features such as location, velocity and direction of the air supplied to the compartment must not be neglected. By applying computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to the simulation of the interior air flow, time- and cost effectiveness can be increased significantly: in an early development phase, where influencing the design and the concept is still possible with low additional effort, air conditioning can be optimized in a very cost- and time-effective way. Thus, by exceeding the normative requirements the passenger's needs are met more closely and more easily. After validation of the method and numerical model by full-scale measurements, a powerful and sound tool for parameter variations and the design and construction of air-conditioning facilities is obtained. The interior air flow in the first-class compartment of a regional train was simulated numerically. Thermodynamic and aerodynamic parameters were measured in a full-scale test train for the validation. The results show the ability of CFD to deal with parameter variations and the prediction of thermal comfort. Benefits and drawbacks and the limits of the application of CFD have been worked out.

As a form of task/ambient conditioning (TAC) system, task ventilation is an effective way to control the micro environment of workplace. In response, we have proposed and investigated a radiant floor cooling combined with desk-based TAC system in order to accomplish complementary advantages of radiant floor system and TAC system. Up to now, very few studies on this system have been found in existing literatures. In this paper, appropriate working parameters of the system are examined by numerical simulation method. To improve simulation accuracy, experiments were simulated in reference by applying three turbulence models and two radiation models. It turned out that the standard k–ɛ model combined with Discrete Ordinates (DO) model boasts the best accuracy as is revealed by the comparison between simulated results with the experimental. On this basis, a simulation of an office adopting the system was performed. According to analysis of the influence of different radiant panel temperatures and air supply parameters of TAC system on the thermal environment based on calculated results, the appropriate working parameters that meet the thermal comfort requirements are obtained, which can be used as a reference for the design of the system. The TRNSYS software was employed to simulate the operation energy consumption of the composite system in the office building, and the design parameters of the comprehensive consideration of comfort and energy saving are put forward in the present study. Practical application: For the conference room applied a radiant floor cooling combined with TAC system, this paper analyzed the impact of floor surface temperatures, task air supply temperature and task air supply temperature to the occupants workplace’s thermal environment and energy consumption of the system, and obtained the design parameters which comprehensive considered comfort and energy consumption.

Abstract:
In order to accommodate the global climate change, the idea of constructing zero-carbon green buildings has become the main stream and highest standard in building design in many countries. Located in subtropical zone, Taiwan features hot and humid weather in summer. The high usage of air conditioning is the main challenge to design zero-carbon green buildings in Taiwan. However, the temperature in the middle and high mountain areas decreases as altitude increases and makes it possible to create a living environment without using air conditioning in the summer. This project analyzed weather data in the middle and high mountain areas of Taiwan. The degree hour method and weather research and forecast model were used to evaluate the demand of air conditioning in the summer based on outside air temperature. The results showed that the low air conditioning load areas are above 1000 m elevation. This project then simulated energy consumption of a two-floor building near the Sun Moon Lake, an area of low air conditioning load, to explore the feasibility of zero-carbon green buildings in Taiwan. Based on the life style of a four-member family, a simulation process was conducted to estimate energy consumption of various appliances and different life habits. This study showed that the energy consumption in the buildings can be reduced up to 70% by using three major design strategies. These strategies include selection of a low air conditioning load location, using high energy efficient appliances, and application of energy conserving habits. Followed by renewable energy evaluation, it is possible to put zero-carbon green building into practice in Taiwan.

Abstract:
Usually, traditional insulation materials have a constant thermal resistance value that cannot change within the ambient temperature and will decrease as ambient humidity or external stress increases. Humans heavily rely on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to meet the thermal comfort requirements of their bodies, giving rise to energy waste and global warming. As an infinitely available natural resource, air is one of the most efficient thermal retaining substances known to science. Inspired by soft pneumatic robotics, we propose an architecture for air-driven thermoregulation fabrics called soft robotic fabrics (SRF). By changing the thickness of trapped air layer in fabric system through SRF, wearers could modify garments’ thermal insulation performance. A fabrication method is introduced to rapidly manufacture low-cost pneumatic structures using various types of construction and dimensions. With excellent ductility, elasticity, and compression resistance, the thickness of SRF increases by 12 times or more after inflation, and the fabric even can lift an object 270 times heavier than its weight. The excellent deformability can effectively increase stable air layer between clothing and skin. Based on the Predicted Mean Vote–Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied model, the thermoregulation capability of SRF helps HVAC expand the temperature setpoint range by 3–8 times when compared with traditional fabrics, and has far-reaching significance in saving energy.

Abstract:
The “Strategic Energy Plan” implemented by the Cabinet of Japan in 2014 strives for zero energy building design for typical new construction by 2030. The present study focuses on a ductless and variable air conditioning system, using the Coanda effect, with the aim of reducing fan power, and saving of resources by reducing the space between the ceiling. In this study, we examined the air blowing method and evaluated thermal comfort using computational fluid dynamics as well as subjective perception of coolness in a midsize office. A draft zone was reduced by extending the interval between conditioned air outlets. However, if the extension of throw length was excessive, hot space would be formed near the air outlets, and there would be a risk of impacting thermal comfort. Moreover, we confirmed that the thermal comfort was generally favourable. In particular, perceived thermal comfort was better at the position in the office where the air flow landed on the upper body of the subjects. On the other hand, it decreased when the influence of the air flow was small, and at the point where air flow landed on the lower body of the subjects.

Abstract:
Purpose Several countries have carried out air quality monitoring in professional workplaces where chemicals are used. Health-care spaces have been less investigated. This paper aims to define a protocol, as developed by a research group, for inpatient rooms to understand the state of the art and to suggest design and management strategies for improving process quality. Design/methodology/approach Starting from the ISO-16000 standard and guidelines for monitoring activities, a protocol is defined for a one year investigation, with passive samplers. Through data analysis of the investigations and analysis of the cleaning and finishing products, heating, ventilation and air conditioning and maintenance activities, etc., it is possible to highlight the potential influences of chemical pollution. Findings A methodology is defined for understanding the chemical pollution and the possible factors related to construction materials, cleaning products and maintenance activities. Research limitations/implications The paper analyzes only a limited number of case studies because the monitoring activity is still in progress. Practical implications The investigation offers a starting point for a wide tool for the definition of design, maintenance and management strategies in health-care facilities. Social implications The research project, aimed at improving the knowledge of indoor air quality (IAQ) in inpatient rooms, is a starting point for a supporting tool for future regulations concerning health-care facilities. Originality/value IAQ is an issue on which many governments are focusing. Several health-care researchers have reported studies that aim at improving users’ health. Most investigations are about biological and physical risks, but chemical risks have been less studied. The paper suggests some design and management strategies for inpatient room.

Abstract:
In the liquid desiccant system, the amount of the diluted solution sent to the regenerator has a great influence on the system performance. The liquid desiccant system with an adjustable reflux ratio of regeneration solution was proposed in the paper, and the effect of the solution regeneration reflux ratio on the system performance was analysed by simulation. The energy consumption, the electric coefficient of performance and the thermal coefficient of performance under different water condensation rates and varied solution regeneration reflux ratio were obtained. The results show that, the overall performance of the liquid desiccant system can be improved by reducing the solution regeneration reflux ratio; a 1% decrease in the reflux ratio leads to a 0.56–1.02% average growth rate of electric coefficient of performance and a 0.51–0.95% average growth rate of thermal coefficient of performance. Moreover, when the regeneration temperature is high and the water condensation rate of the process air is low, the improvement from decreasing the solution regeneration reflux ratio is more significant. However, the reflux ratio cannot be reduced to an unlimited extent. There is a rational optimum range of the reflux ratio to achieve high thermal coefficient of performance, the optimum range under low dehumidifying load is different from that under high load. Practical application: The performance of a liquid desiccant system can be improved by the proposed system configuration with an adjustable reflux ratio of regeneration solution, such novel system configuration could be applied for the design of air conditioning system, which is beneficial for the energy saving in building. Moreover, the rational optimum ranges of the reflux ratio to achieve high coefficient of performance under different dehumidifying loads are obtained, which could provide guidelines for the design and operation management of the liquid desiccant based building air conditioning system.

Abstract:
Construction affects ecological environment as well as mankind. It continuously influences the surroundings, user’s life and especially highly developed cities in our country. Ecological construction will become the main stream in the 21st century. Construction is closely related to the sustainable development which is composed of three important aspects, namely, environment protection, economic development and social progress. Ecological construction should be a part of sustainable development. Facing the main problems in ecological environment and construction design in China, this paper suggests that in the construction design the application of ecological strategy should be paid attention to, and that to promote the ecological construction design should rely on the enhancing of the ecological consciousness of whole society, the strengthening of the communication between man and the natural environment, and the perfecting of laws on the ecological building design.Building in the people, nature and social - economic compound ecological system, not only affects the earth's ecological system, and directly related to the survival and development of the human being. The rapid development of construction industry in our country, the neglect building, and the natural ecological environment, the coordination between the various technical equipment in use, the improvement of people's living environment, give people bring convenient and comfortable at the same time, also produced many negative effect and harm, such as the construction of environmental pollution, building materials the harmful elements, noise, "air conditioning syndrome" trapped around the people's life and health. Therefore, we must pay attention to ecological strategy application in architectural design.

Abstract:
In a hot and humid tropical climate, natural ventilation brings high levels of moisture into dwellings that, together with occupant activity, can result in very elevated internal relative humidity levels. Coupling these high relative humidities with high internal air temperatures creates occupant thermal discomfort, which is typically ameliorated in the tropics using energy-intensive air conditioning systems. This paper has investigated the potential benefits for thermal comfort and energy usage of applying the German Passivhaus standard to tropical dwellings. By creating a super insulated and air-tight envelope, the Passivhaus standard reduces fabric heat transfer, controls air infiltration and provides low-energy comfort. Applying this approach to a tropical terraced house might be effective but could, potentially, have an adverse impact on mechanical cooling demand. This study took an actual terraced property in Jakarta, Indonesia and thermally modelled its performance as insulation and airtightness levels were incrementally improved up to the Passivhaus standard. Field measurements in the dwelling of air temperature and relative humidity were used to validate the thermal model of the existing house. The validated model then tested the feasibility of meeting the Passivhaus energy standard for cooling in the modified tropical house. Simulation allowed the effects of air conditioning (AC) and dehumidifiers on thermal comfort and cooling loads to be investigated. The research develop the Passivhaus building model that had the floor insulation removed to let the ground floor act as a thermal sink and potentially provide radiant cooling. Analysis revealed that the building’s predicted air temperatures were affected in a beneficial way by having the Passivhaus without floor insulation. Practical application: Cooling in hot and humid tropical region is an energy-intensive approach. Design approaches that can bring comfort and save energy for the occupant are essential. The success of Passivhaus standard in mild climate might be transferable to bring comfort in tropical housing. Best practice can be developed by analysing the Passivhaus building performance in hot and humid tropical region.
