Bio-inspiration is a growing research field in architecture and urban design where this framework being used to develop sustainable solutions strategies for improving the overall built environment. In buildings, façade most critical element which differentiates indoor environment from outdoor The related quantification of impact bio-inspired on limited. This research, therefore, aims evaluate t...

This paper describes a series of field studies and simulation analysis to improve the thermal performance of school buildings in the city of Tehran in Iran during warm season. The field studies used on-site measurement and questionnaire-based survey in the warm spring season in a typical female secondary school building. The on-site monitoring assessed the indoor air temperatures and relative h...

Accurate and reliable CFD simulation of temperature stratification in indoor environment is needed for the design and evaluation of displacement ventilation in buildings. This paper presents a detailed and systematic evaluation of the capability of 3D steady RANS CFD simulations to predict the temperature stratification in a room. The evaluation is based on sensitivity analysis and validation w...

Virtual laboratories have evolved into an adequately mature educational tool for multiple fields of study. Their use is especially beneficial to hot and volatile topics such as modern wireless communications. Related solutions in this field explored various approaches and architectures in designing such a virtual environment. The presented software package combines these fragmentary conclusions...
