Response-surface-model-based system sizing for Nearly/Net zero energy buildings under uncertainty

“…In this study, only Box-Behnken design is considered. There are many other methods for Design of Experiment, e.g., central composite design and spacing filling design [39,74]. Optimizing the Design of Experiment methods could optimally determine the design points to obtain response surface models with the highest accuracy [39].…”

Climatic analysis of ventilation and thermal performance of a dome building with roof vent

“…The outlet of the domain was set as zero static pressure. The sides and top of the domain were set as symmetry boundary condition, indicating zero normal velocity and zero gradients for all the variables at these boundaries (Sofotasiou et al, 2016). The standard wall functions were applied to the wall boundaries except for the ground, which had its wall functions adjusted for roughness.…”

CFD and experimental data of closed-loop wind tunnel flow

“…1 ) which was conducted using Computational Fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling and experimental testing [1] . The closed-loop wind tunnel is used for a wide range of applications [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] . The data used for the investigation of four types of guide vane (GV) configurations (no-GV, upstream-GV, downstream-GV and upstream-downstream-GV) are shared in the article and the geometry files which were created using SolidEdge software are also provided ( Supplementary 2 ) to save time and effort ( Fig.…”
