Exploring the Optimal Thermal Mass to Investigate the Potential of a Novel Low-Energy House Concept Hoes, P. J.; Trcka, M.; Hensen, J.; Bonnema, B. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)In conventional buildings thermal mass is a permanent building characteristic depending on the building design. However, none of the permanent thermal mass concepts are optimal in all operational conditions. We propose a ...

Gontikaki, M.; Trcka, M.; Hensen, J.; Hoes, P. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)Natural ventilation of buildings can be achieved with solar-driven , buoyancy-induced airflow through a solar chimney channel. Research on solar chimneys has covered a wide range of topics, yet study of the integration in ...
