The United Habitation in Marseilles is the master wok of Le Corbusier, the well-know architect. Over the fifty years of its existence, the researches concentrate on its light and shadows and color scheme of the facades, etc. However, the most important original intent of the designer is the optimization of the indoor thermal environment, especially the use of cross ventilation. As green building has drawn more and more attention nowadays, this article will focus on the indoor natural ventilation conditions of two standard cells of the Marseilles Unit, which are known as the ‘upper E’ apartment and the ‘lower E’ apartment, by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models. Compared with the data of Middle corridor type dwelling, verify the superiority of its architectural layout.

The good and comfortable environment is beneficial to the health, and can improve working efficiency, make people imbued with more creativity. This means strengthening the competitiveness, increase economic efficiency. So, creating the good building environment not merely has a meaning on technology, and has social effect and economic meaning. In order to understand the situation of indoor thermal environment of the seaside residential building generally, a field measurement on the condition of summer was made in Xiamen from the last ten days of July to the first ten day of Aug, 2005, 2006 and 2008. Test the thermal environment and investigate the thermal comfort in residential buildings of natural ventilation condition, analyze the main influence factors of indoor thermal environment, and evaluate indoor thermal comfort with effective temperature (ET). The curves of indoor air temperature and relative humidity reflect the character of high temperature and high relative humidity in summer in Xiamen residential buildings. Discuss the methods of building energy saving. Suggest that, for seaside city in hot days, the natural ventilation and interval natural ventilation should be the main fundamental methods of improving the resident building thermal environment.

In this paper, the influence of various bench arrangements on the microclimate inside a two-span greenhouse is numerically investigated using three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models. Longitudinal and peninsular arrangements are investigated for both leeward and windward opened roof ventilators. The velocity and temperature distributions at plant level (1m) were of particular interest. The research in this paper is an extension of two-dimensional work conducted previously [1]. Results indicate that bench layouts inside the greenhouse have a significant effect on the microclimate at plant level. It was found that vent opening direction (leeward or windward) influences the velocity and temperature distributions at plant level noticeably. Results also indicated that in general, the leeward facing greenhouses containing either type of bench arrangement exhibit a lower velocity distribution at plant level compared to windward facing greenhouses. The latter type of greenhouses has regions with relatively high velocities at plant level which could cause some concern. The scalar plots indicate that more stagnant areas of low velocity appear for the leeward facing greenhouses. The windward facing greenhouses also display more heterogeneity at plant level as far as temperature is concerned.

Airflow and heat transfer simulation was conducted for a double-skin façade (DSF) system equipped with shading devices in the cavity, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with RNG turbulence model and PISO algorithm, for five conditions of slat angles (θ=0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°). The present study indicates that the presence of shading devices influences the temperatures, the ventilation rate and the air distribution in the DSF system. Besides, the different angles will make different influences.

In this study, an office building in Japan that incorporates energy-saving features and environmental technologies was investigated. This office building features a green façade, natural ventilation, a concrete slab with no suspended ceilings, and thermo-active building systems. Two airconditioning systems were installed in this building—a ceiling radiation air-conditioning system and a whole floor-blow off air conditioning system. In addition, a natural ventilation system was installed. We surveyed the heat flux of the ceiling surface and indoor thermal environment of this building from 2015 through 2016. The ceiling using the heat storage amount of concrete maintains a constant temperature in the workplace during as well as after office hours. We also performed detailed measurements of the heat flux of the ceiling surface and indoor thermal environment in the summer of 2017. The results showed that the ceiling radiation air-conditioning system provided a stable thermal environment. Furthermore, we report that making use of the thermal behavior of the skeleton improved the operation of the ceiling radiation airconditioning system.

Abstract Thermal comfort is one of the standard assessments of building thermal environment. Air movement is an important parameter for in a naturally ventilated to achieve thermal comfort by accelerating the evaporative cooling process on the human body. Aceh House has a standard of thermal comfort with a vernacular architecture with a natural ventilation system. This vernacular architectural building has a fairly high harmonization of the environment because it has undergone a process of adaptation. In this study, observations were made at the Original House (OH), the Adaptive Reuse House (ARH), and the Aceh Modified House (AMH). By using the method of assessing changes in environmental comfort, using Wet Bulb Temperature Index (WBGT) method, the minimum and maximum temperature ranges are 25°C and 30°C. In the WBGT thermal rating, AMH has the higher thermal and is followed by ARH and OH respectively. Thus, OH has lower thermal compared to other Aceh houses.
