Performance evaluation of natural ventilation strategies for hospital wards – A case study of Great Ormond Street Hospital

Dynamic energy performance analysis: Case study for energy efficiency retrofits of hospital buildings

“…A similar analysis also performed by means of IES dynamic thermal simulation model, without the help of measurements, is presented in Ref. [22]. Here, a single new ward of a U.K. hospital is analyzed.…”

Performance assessment of residential mechanical exhaust ventilation systems dimensioned in accordance with Belgian, British, Dutch, French and ASHRAE standards

“…As a result, these models are not suited for detailed analysis of the distribution of contaminants in a single room. This aspect can be studied with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) [35][36][37][38]. However, this is not the scope of this papersincein contrast to a typical office setting, no specific occupied zone can be defined in a residential setting.…”

Computational analysis of wind interactions for comparing different buildings sites in terms of natural ventilation

“…CFD has been widely used for simulation of wind and air movement in existing buildings. Literature is profuse in documents based on CFD direct application and experimental validation in order to design wind behaviour of NV in buildings [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Nevertheless, CFD has not been almost used in building early design stage, in which CFD can help building designer to achieve better and more detailed understanding of issues involving ventilation.…”
