Construction professionals’ perspectives on drivers and barriers of sustainable construction
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-05)
With the associated environmental challenges and unsustainable patterns of construction, there is also notable awareness and willingness among the state bodies to adopt sustainability measures and practices in Kazakhstan. This study explores the drivers of and barriers inhibiting the adoption of sustainability paradigm in the construction context of Kazakhstan. The drivers and barriers were validated ...
Numerical study on the ventilation performance of a livestock house built in porous panels in Cold Regions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11)
This paper presents a numerical prediction on the assessment of natural ventilation on a livestock house built in porous panels, aided by Computational Fluid Dynamics techniques. A typical climatic environment in Cold Regions was taken into consideration. The ventilation performances have been assessed by the distribution of indoor air velocity, turbulence intensity and local mean age of air through ...
Feasibility study for utilization of solar energy in the arctic areas
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)
This research investigates a solar thermal system and a solar photovoltaic system which produces local energy, by incoming solar radiation, to meet the energy consumption demand of a residential building in the arctic region. The study on the use of the solar systems in the arctic areas is rare and often doubted. So, to analyze the potential of solar energy, a study case of an existing building block ...
Ventilation and environmental control of underground spaces: A short review
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-13)
More and more underground spaces were used in 21st century because of rapid urbanization, traffic problems, etc. Underground city, metro, tunnel, mine, industrial and agriculture engineering, civil air defence engineering need large underground spaces. Underground spaces with different thermal, ventilation and lighting environments may cause comfort, health and safety problems. Concrete problems ...
Feasibility of Computational Fluid Dynamics for Analyzing Airflow around Porous Fences
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-19)
This article presents using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to analyze the flow around porous fences. The feasibility of applying 2D and 3D models was assessed with respect to corresponding wind tunnel experiments. Comparisons between the flow structures on leeward of the fence as predicted by CFD models and the wind tunnel measurements were discussed. Velocity values for the two ...
