Hybrid ventilation for low energy building design in south China (2009)
Journal Article
Ji, Y., Lomas, K., & Cook, M. (2009). Hybrid ventilation for low energy building design in south China. Building and Environment, 44(11), 2245-2255. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2009.02.015

Buildings and their related activities are responsible for a large portion of the energy consumed in China. It is therefore worthwhile to investigate methods for improving the energy efficiency of buildings. This paper describes a low energy building...

Human environmental heat transfer simulation with CFD – the advances and challenges (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Zhang, Y., Novieto, D., & Ji, Y. (2009, July). Human environmental heat transfer simulation with CFD – the advances and challenges. Presented at Eleventh International IBPSA Conference, Glasgow, Scotland

The modelling and prediction of human thermoregulatory responses and comfort have gone a long way during the past decades. Sophisticated and detailed human models, i.e. the active multi-nodal thermal models with physiological regulatory responses, ha...

Currnent and likely future performance of advanced natural ventilation (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Ji, Y., & Lomas, K. (2009, July). Currnent and likely future performance of advanced natural ventilation. Presented at Eleventh International IBPSA Conference, Glasgow, Scotland

Advanced natural ventilation (ANV), often characterised by the use of dedicated ventilation stacks, shafts and other architecture features such as atria, light wells, has gained popularity for natural ventilation design in recent decades. In this res... Read More about Currnent and likely future performance of advanced natural ventilation.

Resilience of naturally ventilated buildings to climate change: advanced natural ventilation and hospital wards (2009)
Journal Article
Lomas, K., & Ji, Y. (2009). Resilience of naturally ventilated buildings to climate change: advanced natural ventilation and hospital wards. Energy and Buildings, 41(6), 629-653. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2009.01.001

Naturally ventilated buildings have a key role to play mitigating climate change. The predicted indoor temperatures in spaces with simple single-sided natural ventilation (SNV) are compared with those in spaces conditioned using a form of edge in,...

Numerical simulation of transient flow development in a naturally ventilated room (2009)
Journal Article
Kaye, N., Ji, Y., & Cook, M. (2009). Numerical simulation of transient flow development in a naturally ventilated room. Building and Environment, 44(5), 889-897. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2008.06.016

Numerical simulations were conducted to model the transient flow development in a naturally ventilated space containing a centrally located localized source of heat. The simulations were compared with a series of small-scale laboratory experiments an... Read More about Numerical simulation of transient flow development in a naturally ventilated room.
