    • Airflow Simulation and Energy Analysis in Ventilated Room with a New Type of Air Conditioning 
      Liu, D.; Tang, G.; Zhao, F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
      Airflow simulation in one ventilated room with radiant heating and natural ventilation has been carried out. Three cases are compared: the closed room, the room with full openings, and the room with small openings. The ...
    • CFD Simulation and Analysis of the Combined Evaporative Cooling and Radiant Ceiling Air-conditioning System 
      Xiang, H.; Yinming, L.; Junmei, W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
      Due to such disadvantages as large air duct and high energy consumption of the current all- outdoor air evaporative cooling systems used in the dry region of Northwest China, as well as the superiority of the ceiling cooling ...
    • The Effects of Indoor Air Velocity on Occupant Thermal Comfort in Winter 
      Wang, J.; Chen, L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
      In China the thermal comfort standard that regulates the indoor air velocity cannot exceed 0.15m/s in winter. But many scholars doubt this regulation. This paper presents the results of an experimental research project on ...
    • Field Studies of Subjective Effects on Thermal Comfort in a University Classroom 
      Wang, J.; Wang, Z. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
      Two field studies were conducted in a university classroom in the autumn of 2004 in Harbin. The objective of these studies was to assess the thermal conditions and the subjective effects on occupant thermal comfort. A field ...
    • Investigation and Analysis of Winter Classroom Thermal Environment in Chongqing 
      Liu, J.; Li, B.; Yao, R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
      The classrooms in Chongqing are taken as a study subject in this paper. Measurements of the indoor thermal environmental parameters, e.g., indoor dry/wet bulb temperature, and air velocity, were taken. Combined with the ...
    • Literature Review of Airflow Fluid Characteristics and their Impact on Human Thermal Comfort 
      Zhao, R.; Zhang, Y.; Yu, N.; Di, H. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
      Airflow dynamics significantly impact indoor thermal environment and human thermal comfort. Studies on the effects of airflow fluctuations on thermal comfort mainly focus on the effects of turbulence intensity and fluctuation ...
    • Mechanism of Thermal Comfort and Its Application in Indoor Environment 
      Lian, Z.; Liu, W.; Ye, X.; Ye, Y. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
      The reaction of thermoregulation systems in animal experiments was studied. By measuring the levels of dopamine in rats, we found that the rats' thermal neutral zone ranges from 27°C to 28°C. Similarly, there is also a ...
    • Numerical Simulation of Displacement Ventilation in a Gymnasium in a Large Space Building 
      Wu, X.; Li, X. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
      Since athletes' records can vary greatly depending on air velocities in sports halls, airflow patterns have played a very important role in HVAC design in gymnasiums. HVAC designers and researchers have paid more and more ...
    • Personalized Conditioning with Human-in-the-Loop Control Approach 
      Vesely, M.; Zeiler, W.; Boxem, G (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2013)
      The need for individual comfort led to the development of personalized conditioning systems which improve the thermal comfort and allow to reduce energy consumption due to more effective localized energy use. However, the ...
    • Thermal Comfort of Neutral Ventilated Buildings in Different Cities 
      Ye, X.; Zhou, Z.; Lian, Z.; Wen, Y.; Zhou, Z.; Jiang, C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
      Although the ASHRAE 55-1992 and ISO 7730 Standards are used all over the world, many researchers have pointed out that it is impossible to maintain a uniform thermal comfort standard worldwide because of differing climate ...
