Comparing one and two-dimensional hydraulic modelling of flow on varying spatial scales: Identifying the physical processes that are of influence to the modelling choice of a stream system

In the past years, climate change has caused an increasing number of extreme weather events. In the Netherlands this is, for instance, reflected by the growing amount of extreme rainfall events. This creates big issues for water management authorities like water boards. Water boards are often responsible for local streams, that cannot handle the...

Façade for wind and stack driven ventilation in tropical high-rise office

Cooling load reduction for high-rises is a necessity for further developement for the densification of urban areas. This study describest the approach for HVAC cooling reduction potential for tall-office buildings in Singapore. Via passive ventilation strategies and adaptive thermal comfort the comfort temperature is increased what leads to a...
