The design of ventilation performance of air-conditioning systems in large commercial and office buildings is quite established. However, it is not the same with the designs of air-conditioning systems in most residential buildings. Split system air-conditioning units are commonly employed in residential buildings in the tropics due to their convenience in terms of energy conservation, aesthetics, flexibility, acoustic performance and ease of operation. Such units are also popular among small offices, shopping complex and even as supplementary air-conditioning units beyond normal office-hours in large commercial and office buildings. This paper presents findings from a recent study of the ventilation performance and indoor air quality (IAQ) in a master bed room of a condominium unit in Singapore, employed with a split system air-conditioning unit. The attached bathroom is equipped with an exhaust fan, whose operation and its impact on the resulting ventilation characteristics was also studied. Four adults occupied the room throughout the course of the experiments. It was observed that the carbon dioxide level in the bed room can exceed 2000 ppm without the exhaust fan in about 2 h. The operation of the exhaust fan quickly lowered the level of carbon dioxide to about 1000 ppm. The findings suggest the need to design for ventilation provision in split system air-conditioning units. 相似文献

Singapore has the hot and humid climate throughout the year. Many passive climate control methods are adopted in the naturally ventilated residential buildings to help achieve thermal comfort and reduce the energy consumption of air-conditioning. A field measurement and computational energy simulations were conducted to examine the effectiveness of commonly used passive climate control methods for these buildings. The effect of building orientation, façade construction, special roof system and window shading device on indoor thermal environment and cooling load was studied. The surface temperature of external wall and indoor thermal environment was measured to analyze the façade thermal performance. The cooling load was simulated to evaluate the effectiveness of various passive climate methods. Using the special roof system as thermal buffer is the most efficient method to reduce the room cooling load. 相似文献

Mandatory energy codes to curb energy use of residential buildings have been formally launched in China for more than two decades but little has been publicized in literature. Similar codes are not available for residential buildings in Hong Kong, but most residential buildings in Hong Kong, especially public housing estates, are HK-BEAM certified to demonstrate their compliance with regulatory and basic design requirements. Given HK-BEAM is internationally recognized and there are doubts about the effectiveness of the China codes, how the energy efficiency of the HK-BEAM certified buildings compare with buildings in compliance with the China codes is of interest to most building designers and policy makers. This paper describes how the energy efficiency of a case study building in compliance with the China codes compare with the one in compliance with HK-BEAM. The energy simulation by HTB2 and BECRES reveal that the case study building in compliance with the China codes is 51.1% better in energy use. In the study, the relative impact of each compliance criterion on energy use and cooling load has been quantified by sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity values indicate that energy use is most sensitive to air-conditioning operation hours, indoor design temperature, coefficient of performance (COP) of the room air-conditioners (RAC) units, and the envelop characteristics. The results of this study indicate that a HK-BEAM certified building cannot satisfy the China codes requirements. This provides good reference to the policy makers, the building owners, and to the China and Hong Kong Governments when considering reciprocal recognition of building energy codes. 相似文献

Filters are used in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems for both commercial and residential buildings
to protect the equipment and improve indoor air quality in conditioned spaces. Although there are many benefits of using the
air filter in an air-conditioning system, the resistance associated with it can increase fan energy use and may adversely
affect air-conditioning system performance and efficiency. The paper explores the impact of air filtration on energy consumption
for a typical air-conditioning (AC) system with constant- or variable-speed fan. A whole building simulation model is used
to simulate the annual energy consumption for various air-conditioning system capacities, different levels of filter cleanliness,
and various filter minimum efficiency reporting values (MERV). The results indicate that with a constant-speed fan, the cooling
energy use increases as the filter gets dirty over time and the energy use in the fan may increase but this depends heavily
on the investigated fan performance curve. With a variable-speed fan, the fan energy use increases with a dirty filter but
the cooling and heating energy uses are slightly affected. The fan energy use rise due to the dirty filter depends mainly
on air system capacities, filter MERV ratings, and the degree of the filter cleanliness. 相似文献

针对南京某住宅房间的毛细管辐射供冷空调系统,研究房间空调系统在间歇运行情况下启动段的特性,探究室内空气预理模式、毛细管辐射面积、送风量对室内温湿度的动态影响规律。研究结果表明,基于连续运行模式下的设备设计容量不能满足间歇运行的要求,需要增大辐射毛细管和新风机的处理能力。采用新风机内循环和新风2种运行模式,可有效缩短间歇运行启动阶段时长。增加新风机送风量可减少预处理时间,通过改变毛细管的辐射面积和新风机的送风量可以满足夏热冬冷地区居住建筑间歇运行的需求,为后期设计同类型的建筑提供新的思路。 相似文献

Energy consumption in the residential and commercial sector accounts for over 25% of the total in Japan. With the information technology revolution and the improving requirement for indoor air environment, energy consumption for household air conditioning is increasing. In this research, a double skin facade is proposed for a two-story house in Kitakyushu of Japan. The stack effect in the double skin space during the summer, the green house effect during the winter and the availability for free air-conditioning during the autumn have been studied. The temperature distribution, thermal performance in the double skin space and its impact on air-conditioning load in rooms have been measured. Results show that the double skin façade leads to about 10–15% energy saving for cooling in the peak of summer because of heat exhausted by natural ventilation, 20–30% energy for heating in winter because of the green house effect, and the temperature adjustment is quite large with the different operation mode of the double skin system during the intermediate seasons. Therefore the double skin system is proved to be effective in energy conservation in residential buildings. 相似文献

The impact from using cool roof coatings on the cooling and heating loads and the indoor thermal comfort conditions of residential buildings for various climatic conditions is estimated. The energy cooling loads and peak cooling demands are estimated for different values of roof solar reflectance and roof U-value. The results show that increasing the roof solar reflectance reduces cooling loads by 18–93% and peak cooling demand in air-conditioned buildings by 11–27%. The indoor thermal comfort conditions were improved by decreasing the hours of discomfort by 9–100% and the maximum temperatures in non air-conditioned residential buildings by 1.2–3.3 °C. These reductions were found to be more important for poorly or non-insulated buildings. For the locations studied, the heating penalty (0.2–17 kWh/m2 year) was less important than the cooling load reduction (9–48 kWh/m2 year). The application of cool roof coatings is an effective, minimal cost and easy to use technique that contributes to the energy efficiency and the thermal comfort of buildings. 相似文献

During technical evaluations of cooling systems in residential buildings, it is necessary to consider the influence of the household air-conditioning (AC) use modes. In other words, how the occupants control the AC, for instance, when it is turned on, what the temperature setting is, and how long it is used. Field measurements and spot interviews indicate that AC usage by residents should be environmental, event and random related. A reduced-order AC conditional probability (CP) model was developed in this study to describe AC usage. The AC CP model was integrated with a building energy modeling program (BEMP) to reflect the interaction of the AC operation and the indoor environment. With consideration of stochastic AC use modes, the uncertainty of user compositions was studied. Additionally, simulation results revealed that AC use modes and user compositions can cause up to a 4.5-fold difference in the system efficiency of district cooling systems. The Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient were applied in this study to describe the load distribution in a quantitative manner. Through a comparison with the constant schedule definition model, the study also identified inclusion of the stochastic feature of AC use modes and their compositions in simulations as being important to the technical evaluation of district cooling systems. 相似文献

Bioaerosol concentrations in residential buildings located in the Northeastern US have not been widely studied. Here, in 2011-2015, we studied the presence and seasonal variability of culturable fungi and bacteria in three multi-family apartment buildings and correlated the bioaerosol concentrations with building ventilation system types and environmental parameters. A total of 409 indoor and 86 outdoor samples were taken. Eighty-five percent of investigated apartments had indoor-outdoor (I/O) ratios of culturable fungi below 1, suggesting minimal indoor sources of fungi. In contrast, 56% of the apartments had I/O ratios for culturable bacteria above 1, indicating the prominence of indoor sources of bacteria. Culturable fungi I/O ratios in apartments serviced by central heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system were lower than those in apartments with window AC. The type of ventilation system did not have a significant effect on the presence of indoor culturable bacteria. A significant positive association was determined between indoor dew point (DP) levels and indoor culturable fungi (P < .001) and bacteria (P < .001), regardless of ventilation type. Also, residents in apartments with central HVAC did not experience extreme DP values. We conclude that building ventilation systems, seasonality, and indoor sources are major factors affecting indoor bioaerosol levels in residential buildings. 相似文献

Water-cooled air-conditioning systems (WACS) are, in general, more energy efficient than air-cooled air-conditioning systems (AACS). The Laws of Hong Kong prohibit the use of fresh water from town mains for comfort air-conditioning, which rules out the use of cooling towers to most air-conditioned buildings. In the absence of lakes or major rivers in Hong Kong, only those buildings that are situated near the harbor can adopt WACS. As a measure to cut down greenhouse gases emissions, the Hong Kong Government is currently exploring the feasibility and viability of widening the use of WACS by the provision of centralized, district-wide water supply systems, which include seawater supply systems for once-through condenser cooling or for making up of water losses at cooling towers, and district cooling systems. Evaluation of the likely energy, economic and environmental benefits of such capital-intensive infrastructure developments requires estimation of the simultaneous cooling demand of a large group of buildings on a district scale, and the energy use for air-conditioning such buildings. This paper describes the method used in these estimations. Comparisons of the results estimated by this method with results obtained by detailed simulation, and with building energy use data obtained from surveys and audits are presented. 相似文献
