This study examines the responses of twenty-four subjects to an individually-controlled localized chilled beam (LCB) and compares it a mixing ventilation (MV) as reference system. Both LCB MV also used ceiling cooling (CC) panels for background (forming LCBCC MVCC systems). The directed supply air towards create micro-environment around them. Four experimental conditions were established using ...

Industrial building rehabilitation is one the latest trends within the field of sustainable development. However, these interventions often disregard the issue of user comfort, despite being the most important factor of energy efficiency. This work deals with the assessment of the indoor thermal conditions of a restored industrial building, considering not only air temperature but also mean rad...

In this study, the parametric analysis was conducted on different designs of free-suspended ceiling radiant cooling panel ( CRCP ) and area to improve its performance. A three-dimensional CFD simulation model developed investigate capacity heat transfer coefficient s. Four parameters were used be design parameters: length L , curvature radius r void distance between each or segment d coverage c...

BACKGROUND Hypothermia has been shown to be neuroprotective in animal models of hypoxia-ischaemia. It is currently being evaluated as a potentially therapeutic option in the management of neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy. However, significant hypothermia has adverse systemic effects. It has also recently been found that the stress of being cold can abolish the neuroprotective effects o...
