2. 1. The Physical Environment and Occupant Thermal Perceptions in Office Buildings An Evaluation of Sampled Data from Five European Countries

   Author : John Leland Stoops; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal sensation; Europe; thermal preference; seasonal variation; office buildings; temperature perception; outdoor temperature; interior temperature; field study; thermal comfort; Clo; Met; carbon dioxide;

   Abstract : The results from a large field study of thermal comfort in European office buildings are reported. Measurements of physical environmental conditions and occupant perceptions were collected over sixteen months from twenty-six different office buildings located in France, Greece, Portugal, Sweden and the UK.

4. 2. Improvement of Thermal Comfort in Buildings through Passive Design

   Author : Marcelino Januário Rodrigues; Byggnadskonstruktion; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Buildings; Sustainability; Energy Efficiency; Passive Design; Orientation; Shading; Ventilation; Materials; Temperatures; Thermal Comfort; Simulations; Retrofitting; Hot Humid Regions.;

   Abstract : In hot humid regions the high outdoor temperature has negative effects on the indoor temperature of buildings that are not designed to cope with the local climate. This leads to discomfort for the occupants. READ MORE

5. 3. Potential of Ventilation Radiators : Performance evaluation by numerical, analytical and experimental means

   Author : Jonn Are Myhren; Sture Holmberg; Per Olaf Tjelflaat; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ventilation radiator; thermal comfort; exhaust ventilation; CFD; energy saving; convection fin; low temperature heating; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

   Abstract : Energy consumption for heating and ventilation of buildings is still in 2011considered far too high, but there are many ways to save energy and construct lowenergy buildings that have not been fully utilised. This doctoral thesis has focused onone of these - low temperature heating systems. READ MORE

6. 4. Inviting Interaction – Explorations of the district heating interface for people

   Author : Sara Renström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; design; users; residents; district heating; means for thermal comfort;

   Abstract : District heating provides more than half of the homes in Sweden with heating and hot water and have the potential to play an increasingly important role in the development towards fossil-free energy systems – yet it is rather unknown by the public. To understand why this is the case and to influence the situation, this research aims at exploring the district heating interface for people. READ MORE

7. 5. High-Temperature Cooling Systems for Sustainable Buildings Using Geothermal Energy : Holistic Assessment in the Mediterranean Climate
