Building: BCIT SW1 Gateway Building & PRCN Laboratories, Winnipeg (in progress)
Goal – The goal of this project is to study the performance of active beams, a low primary flow and low energy technology, in cooling and heating offices under varying boundary conditions.
Methods:
- Office-field and laboratory experimental measurements
- Computational fluid dynamics simulations
- Metrics: thermal comfort quality, ventilation effectiveness, beam induction ratio
