      Autor: Walder, Caroline; Firat Örs, Pelin; Mahdavi, Ardeshir
      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
      This paper illustrates the use of GIS techniques and satellite data in order to analyze the impact of land use change on the local urban microclimate. Specifically, a case study is presented that concerns the city of Vienna. ...
    • Measurement and CFD analysis of a local radiant cooling solution 

      Autor: Najaf Khosravi, Shiva; Teufl, Helene; Mahdavi, Ardeshir
      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
      This paper entails an empirical and computational assessment of the air flow field in the close proximity of a vertically positioned radiant cooling panel. This radiant cooling solution differs from the conventional ...
    • Thoughts on the selection of the appropriate simulation models in building performance assessment 

      Autor: Berger, Christiane; Mahdavi, Ardeshir
      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
      Building performance simulation serves the derivation of the relevant building performance indicators (e.g., energy use, indoor-environmental conditions) given the assumptions of certain model input parameters (i.e., ...
    • Toward a critical assessment of indoor environmental quality standards 

      Autor: Mahdavi, Ardeshir; Berger, Christiane
      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
      Building design and operation requirements regarding indoor-environmental quality (IEQ) are of direct relevance to occupants' needs. In most buildings, occupant-related requirements pertain to the provision of conditions ...
