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...

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.
