摘要:

The paper discusses wind tunnel studies on the effect of the mean speed profile of the on-blowing wind on the rate of air flow through cross ventilated enclosures. The mean wind speed profiles represented by a simple power law, with exponents ranging between 0.12 and 0.4, were generated in the test section of the tunnel. A model of a room was exposed to various wind profiles, and corresponding rates of air flow were measured. It was observed that average wind speed through the window decreases with an increase in the power-law exponent. An empirical relationship was also derived between the power-law exponent, the average wind speed through the inlet and the average outdoor wind speed at the window level.

摘要:

The acoustic performance of stud-framed lightweight partition walls is strongly affected by the presence or absence of sound-absorbing materials in the cavity. Fibreglass, a commonly used cavity absorbent, has come under criticism over potential adverse health effects owing to its fibrous nature. This paper investigates some low cost alternatives that might be used for providing cavity absorption in such walls and yet offer sound insulation similar to that achieved by using fibreglass. A minimum improvement in the STC rating of 4 points was observed by using different cavity absorbents, with some options offering STC ratings similar to those achieved with conventional fibreglass. The effect of adding an extra layer of plasterboard with a corresponding equivalent reduction in the stud width was also studied.

摘要:

‘Modern Architecture’ has been burdened, at least by its more earnest disciples, with unnecessary and unhelpful moral principles, particularly honesty in the use of structures and materials. Many of its problems could have been overcome by ‘faking’, which was common in Roman and Renaissance architecture.

摘要:

Present day thermal behaviour models assume direct solar energy entering a room through windows to be evenly distributed over room surfaces, but in reality the distribution depends on window positions and interior furniture. This paper describes a study of the shading effects of furniture on the thermal behaviour of interior thermal mass.
