[BE6] Sustainable building technology and urban environment
- Moon Keun Kim (Oslo Metropolitan University)
Description
Sustainable building technology and urban environment session focuses on advanced technologies at understanding, designing and promoting sustainable building and urban environment. This session presents multi-disciplinary research in the areas of,
- Sustainable buildings and resilient environment;
- Energy efficient, zero emision and green buildings and communities;
- Climate change mitigation and adaptation in buildings;
- Indoor climates;
- Data-driven analysis, artificial neural networks, and machine learing analysis in built environment;
- Environment pollution, COVID19, and climate changes impact on occupants health in urban environment;
- Green infrastructure and footprint.
- Sustainable construction materials and building technology
- Smart and healthy buildings
- Urban environments
As humans spend most of their time indoors, most outdoor air pollution exposure occurs inside buildings. It is well-documented that exposure to elevated concentrations of outdoor air pollutants adversely impacts human health. The associated health risks are equivalent, or in some cases more important, to the risks provoked by exposure to indoor emitted air pollutants. To address the issue,...
Background
Air pollution in office environments resulting from occupancy and activities can affect workers' health and productivity [1,2]. Despite the availability of low-cost air quality and occupancy sensors, there is limited real-time examination of occupant-associated air pollutant exposures in office buildings.
Objectives
This study aims to capture the association between...
Occupant-centric control has gained significant attention in recent years, with the primary focus on developing personal thermal preference models to ensure optimal comfort for individuals within a given space. The Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) serves as an evaluation index for thermal comfort; however, it does not fully capture the diverse thermal preferences of individual occupants....
This study explores a systematic review of a decentralized ventilation (DV) system compared with conventional centralized ventilation systems adapting Nordic climates. Air ventilation strategies can be classified into three main categories: natural ventilation, mechanical ventilation, and hybrid ventilation. Decentralized ventilation (DV) offers several advantages. For instance, it can...
With plans of establishing human settlements on the moon, extraction and utilization of water resources from the lunar subsurface arose as one of the hot research topics in geotechnics. Through lunar explorations, water ice was detected at the PSRs (Permanently Shadowed Regions) of several lunar craters. Several sites are deemed to hold relatively large amount of water ice, however, the...
