Sustainable passive design strategies can reduce the energy consumption of buildings. In this regard, inner courtyards act as microclimate modifiers that enhance perception comfort in surrounding environment. The present study, through a pooled analysis experimental and numerical data, intends to assess beneficial effect have reducing buildings, especially for cooling demand. Accordingly, new m...

Abstract Previous dynamic building simulation studies have not often focused on analysing the sensitivity of peak loads to input parameters. However, these may a critical impact system design capacities and power network operation. This study aims examine cooling demand related results (total electricity demand, HVAC end-use space cooling) in large office using two global analysis methods: Morr...

Abstract The higher frequency and intensity of sustained heat events have increased the demand for cooling energy across globe. Current estimates summer‐time are primarily based on Cooling Degree Days (CDD), representing number degrees a day's average temperature exceeds predetermined comfort zone temperature. Through comprehensive analysis historical data USA, we show that commonly used CDD fa...

A passive no electricity and sustainable cooling on-demand (NESCOD) system can convert store solar energy for cooling.

Forehead cooling activates the sympathetic nervous system and can trigger angina pectoris in susceptible individuals. However, the effect of forehead cooling on coronary blood flow velocity (CBV) is not well understood. In this human experiment, we tested the hypotheses that forehead cooling reduces CBV (i.e., coronary vasoconstriction) and that this vasoconstrictor effect would be enhanced und...

25 Forehead cooling activates the sympathetic nervous system and can trigger 26 angina pectoris in susceptible individuals. However, the effect of forehead cooling on 27 coronary blood flow velocity (CBV) is not well understood. In this human experiment, we 28 tested the hypotheses 1) that forehead cooling reduces CBV (i.e., coronary 29 vasoconstriction); and 2) this vasoconstrictor effect woul...

In this research, an analytical method for quantification of the thermal energy performance improvement for a building integrated photovoltaic double-skin façade has provided. The system has been suggested as a retrofit measure for an existing building in Tehran. The effect of thermal performance has been analyzed through computer-assisted developed code using engineering equation solver softwa...

Three combined power and refrigeration system are introduced to compare and analyze for a defined demand and same fuel consumption based on thermodynamic parameters in a 24 hours period. Gas turbine and/or steam turbine are used for power generation and also ejector refrigeration cycle is used to produce cooling. These three systems are named as GER, SER and GSER. The results of three systems a...
