“…The design and implementation of new types of building envelopes, that are interactive, adaptive, and responsive, may lead to an improvement of the building daylighting performance (Rafsanjani et al 2015;Baranova et al 2018;Zemitis and Terekh 2018) and respectively improve building's…”

It remains challenging to conduct an efficient dynamic façade design. In this article authors try to address this issue introducing the façade daylighting performance improvement (FDPI) indicator aimed to evaluate the performance of a dynamic (adaptive) façade from its daylighting performance point of view. To illustrate the FDPI application the authors introduced the preliminary dynamic façade concept for an office building located in Tel Aviv (Hot-summer Mediterranean Climate Csa) with further shape modification based on the daylighting performance analysis compared to the three alternatives representative of different typologies of dynamic facades. Al Bahr, One Ocean and The University of Southern Denmark façade systems were simulated under the same weather and building conditions of the preliminary dynamic façade concept and were considered as a benchmark for the study. The final dynamic façade concept elaborated by the authors in the preliminary comparative workflow showed noticeable daylight performance improvement with respect to the case studies comparative scenarios. The FDPI metric allowed to estimate a daylighting performance improvement of 43% of the final dynamic façade concept over the case study dynamic façade that showed the best performance in the daylighting simulations.

“…This can be achieved through the using of innovative solutions that are technically feasible, economically justified, and acceptable from an environmental and social point of view as well. The same time such solutions should not change the usual way of human lives [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Currently high attention is drawn to the studies of the influence of pulsating flow to the heat transfer. Such unsteady flows can be created artificially or may appear during the operation of the thermal energy equipment. The purpose of this work is to perform numerical studies of the pulsating fluid flow effect supplied to a panel heating radiator on its heat output; and to determine the effect of pulsations of heat output on a human comfort level as well. Numerical modeling was prepared with CAD/CFD/HVAC complex of SolidWorks/FlowSimulation software. Where the complete system of Navier-Stokes equations and the energy equation were solved using the k-ε turbulence model in a non-stationary formulation of the problem. Results of the numerical calculations showed that the periodic pulsating flow of the fluid in the heating radiator during operation, in comparison with the stationary mode, leads to increasing and decreasing in the thermal power of the radiator. But at the same time, with an average estimate, the thermal power with pulsations of the fluid’s flow increases for about 10-15% comparing with a stationary mode. Model of the office room in the considered operating mode is not comfortable; this conclusion is based on such criteria as operating temperature, PMV, PPD, identified in the numerical calculations process.

“…Moisture excess can also vary depending on the age of the house and type of ventilation system, giving higher values for old houses and houses with inefficient ventilation systems [9]. The influence of the ventilation system on energy consumption for various countries located by the Baltic sea has been shown in the existing study [16].…”

It is vitally important to understand the moisture transfer process in the buildings as this knowledge allows to generate solutions on how to control it. The data about typical indoor air humidity levels and moisture sources are usually taken from the existing standards. However, this information needs to be verified and adapted for the local situation as occupant behaviour varies for each country. Similar studies have been performed in Estonia and Finland and they indicate that the typical data of these northern countries differ from the one provided in the standard. This paper presents the preliminary results of moisture measurements for several residential and office buildings in Latvia. Afterward, the difference between indoor and outdoor air absolute humidity is calculated and the data is analyzed depending on the outside air temperature. The results can be used to provide suggestions on the adaption of EN ISO 13788:2012 Figure A.2 which presents the information on the variation of internal humidity classes with external temperatures. The study is not yet completed as more measurements must be taken since the outside temperatures have dropped under zero degrees only for a few days and the number of the test objects must be increased.
