Thermal and ventilation performance of a naturally ventilated sports hall within an aquatic centre

A tool for the optimal sensor placement to optimize temperature monitoring in large sports spaces

“…model [9,10,11,18] "provides far more accuracy, but has at least two drawbacks. The first and obvious one is complexity.…”

Combined thermal and daylight analysis of a typical public rental housing development to fulfil green building guidance in Hong Kong

“…It has passed external validation by the BESTEST (Building Energy Simulation Test) standard of the International Energy Agency (IEA), and has also been extensively tested, validated and recognised in the building energy simulation industry and green building rating schemes [23][24][25]. The software provides steady-state analysis of energy consumption and indoor thermal conditions and adopts finite difference approach to solve heat diffusion equations.…”

Determination of Thermal Comfort in Indoor Sport Facilities Located in Moderate Environments: An Overview

“…Rajagopalan and Luther, 2013 [16] Thermal comfort prediction with the use of Fanger's indices, adaptive comfort models and questionnaires.…”

“…Most of the studies were based on the calculation of Fanger's indices, predicted mean vote (PMV) and predicted percentage of dissatisfied (PPD), derived from field measurements [14,16,17,19,22] or from simulations obtained through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models [86,88].…”

“…In moderate environments, defined as spaces in which it is possible to reach the condition of thermal well-being, only few studies have been carried out. These studies were focused on the monitoring the thermal conditions according to thermal comfort indices [14,15], on the interventions to improve thermal comfort [16,17], on the comparison between objective and subjective measurements [18,19], on the assessment of thermal comfort to balance energy use [16,20] and on the association between thermal comfort and physiological responses during exercise [21,22]. However, there was no standardization in the measurement methodologies or in the models that were used to predict thermal sensation in sport facilities.…”
