Good indoor air quality (IAQ) in buildings provides a comfortable and healthy environment for the occupants to work, learn, study, etc. Therefore, it is important to ascertain the IAQ status in the buildings.There are basically two types of audit methods i.e1. Qualitative Exposure Assessment2. Quantitative Exposure Assessment Qualitative Audit Source Read more…
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a term which refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. The quality of air inside the building including gaseous composition, humidity ,temperature and air contaminants. <h5>Parameters affecting Air Quality</h5> Read more…
Energy Analysis is very crucial to whole building performance of a building as it can help in reducing energy consumption to a great extent. Optimizing HVAC systems to enhance efficiency is the key of energy analysis. All green building certifications require a minimum threshold of energy performance of the building Read more…
Daylight is merely the visible part of the radiant energy that enters through windows. Furthermore, the bulk of the daylight energy that enters a space is converted into thermal energy after just a few reflections. Many office buildings in moderate climates now have air conditioning largely due to the high Read more…
What is VLT of glass? VLT stands for Visible light transmission. It is the amount of visible light that can pass through an optical or sun lens. It can also be called visible light transmittance or VLT%. This is measured as a percentage which indicates the darkness of a lens Read more…
What is Daylight Simulation? A computer-based calculation of the amount of <b>daylight</b> available inside or outside of a building under one or several sky conditions. <b>Simulation</b> outputs may be discrete numbers (illuminances and luminances) under selected sensor points within a scene or visualizations of a scene.</p> <img width=”570″ height=”522″ src=”http://dcsgroups.in/temp/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/graph-EUI-3.png” Read more…
