Introduction One of the most controversial issues in the development of the natural-heritage-intensive sites is the challenge of conservation and development; on the one hand, development should boost the local economy, on the other hand, it should take care of nature and the environment. One of the most important solutions proposed to preserve human geography and convince local people to continue living in their homeland, is tourism industry. This issue makes the need to build new places and infrastructure more serious. Biophilic architecture and urban planning have been considered as an intelligent response to the impact of the development projects in the context. The purpose of this study is to explain the impacts of the biophilic archi

Natural ventilation potential in terraced buildings is affected by numerous parameters such as permeability ratio, distribution pattern, depth of terraces, and, etc. This research aims to evaluate the impact of permeability ratio on natural ventilation potential and cooling load of a terraced office building in the hot- humid climate. To this end, one solid block and eight porous models with different permeability ratios (20%-30%-40%-50%) and random distribution patterns were simulated and analyzed by Energyplus engine and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). For better comparison, two distribution patterns for each permeability ratio were simulated. CFD simulations were validated according to the wind-tunnel measurements. The cooling load a

PurposeNatural ventilation is an environmentally friendly effective way of improving thermal comfort and the quality of indoor conditions if applied properly. This study aims to investigate the physical mechanism of the air movement and also the influence of building geometry in a cross-ventilated room through a parametric study of window geometrical characteristics using computational fluid dynamics.Design/methodology/approachMomentum and continuity equations are solved by the control volume method using a commercially available software. Standard k−ɛ turbulence model is employed to simulate the incompressible airflow and SIMPLE algorithm to solve the conservation equations. Mean air velocity magnitude is measured at three different sur

Domestic Greywater generated by household chores has a Major Contribution to environmental pollution and is also the best-untapped energy source. Since the past decade, in the Different fields, enormous efforts were made to reach the Bio-Energy from Bio-Waste. These efforts consist of a wide range of Thermochemical, Bio-Chemical, and Microbial Fuels, etc. However, all these efforts are in their infancy. They have high cost and be Efficient on a Large-Scale; furthermore, these efforts used a non-intelligent process that has led to a lack of development in this type of Review. This Ongoing Research presents the smart design process that comes to Hybrid Energy via the intersection of Computation, Wastewater, and Microorganisms that aims to int
