Wooden sculptures are an important part of European cultural heritage, but they are also among the most vulnerable objects to variations of temperature and relative humidity (RH). Fluctuations in the ambient environment can lead to irreversible structural and aesthetical damage. The ... Read More
PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor is the most widely used motion sensor for occupancy detection in building automation applications. Normally, only the binary information indicating presence or absence is used. However, an advanced analysis of the PIR sensor analog signal can results in more ... Read More
The paper presents a student guide on how to implement surface to surface radiation within COMSOL Multiphysics® software for case studies found within the built environment. We included four benchmarks: (1) Radiation in a triangular cavity with infinite length; (2) Radiation between two ... Read More
Solar radiation is a prominent contributor of energy in buildings, and can be transmitted directly into a building through opaque surfaces, but it can also be absorbed by building components (i.e. walls, roofs etc.). This study discusses the use and effect of ventilated facades, with an ... Read More
The app discussed in this paper is based on a COMSOL Multiphysics® 1D heat transfer model that analyses the heat flow through a double pane window, with a gas chamber between the two panes, as would normally be mounted in the wall of a building, a container or a refrigerated chamber. The ... Read More
The implementation of thermal insulation in old residential building walls could compromise the hygrothermal behavior of the construction, especially in summer time when it is placed inside. A bad installation of insulation could have consequences on the quality of indoor air conditions ... Read More
This presentation presented the following: * The building of an FEA model of an electric cell actuator using COMSOL Multiphysics * Validation of this model through the AVID and ESPI measurement systems * The building of an FEA model of an electric loudspeaker using COMSOL Multiphysics * ...

3D-scanning of rooms and entire buildings is state of the art and commonly used to obtain and save the digital building structure. This information simplifies appropriate planning for modifications, to equip rooms, for interior design, etc. With a new approach of IR-heating and IR ... Read More
The study presents first authors experience with COMSOL Multiphysics environment used as a possible modeling tool of thermal building behavior. The idea of the project was to gain thermal response to changed boundary conditions with the application of COMSOL environment as a modeling ... Read More
An energy pile harvests geothermal energy to heat and cool a building by integrating ground heat exchanger (GHX) pipes into the building’s deep foundation, and extracts heat from the ground in the winter to heat buildings and injects heat into the ground during the summer. In areas with ... Read More
