Transforming Domestic Space: Arapoğlu Mansion, a Single-family House in Pera

Thermo-chemical Storage for Solar Space Heating in a Single-family House

Up to now solar heat has been stored mostly in well insulated water tanks. The volume of these tanks is as large as 3 m3 for relatively high solar fractions and up to 70 m3 for full solar coverage for a single-family house. Storage tanks of this size are expensive and space consuming. In new buildings, provisions can be made to accommodate large storage volumes but this type of system is not li...

Cold Storage for a Single-Family House in Italy

This work deals with the operation, modeling, simulation, and cost evaluation of two different cold storage systems for a single-family house in Italy, that differ from one another on the cold storage material. The two materials used to perform the numerical simulations of the cold storage systems are represented by cold water and a phase change material (PCM), and the numerical simulations hav...

Developing Model with Breeze to Study Radon Migration and Mitigation in a Single Family House

A multi-cell computer model of a family house with cellar was developed with the ventilation and contaminant movement computer prediction program BREEZE. The model was used to simulate the movement of radon gas from the cellar to the living areas of the house. Field measurements were also carried out under various controlled ventilation strategies. The paper outlines the development of the comp...
