Abstract Zero Net Energy has become a pressing issue in our industry, yet our current approach is not up to the regulatory task. We also need to clarify the definition of zero net energy buildings. There are several definitions of what it means (have differing metrics of site energy, source energy,...
ABSTRACT Application of jet fans in emergency tunnel ventilation, as an economically attractive alternative to traditional fan plants, has become more popular in the US over the past years. Also, recent literature indicates that transportation tunnels are facing increased fire loads. For example...
ABSTRACT Recently there have been major fires in a number of European tunnels that required reevaluation of road tunnel fire loads. This showed that tunnel safety requires applying a fixed fire suppression system in addition to a tunnel ventilation system. This introduces a new challenge when...
ABSTRACT Tunnel ventilation facilities, for road or rail tunnels, face the challenge of the design requirements imposed on them. Among them is the Fire Heat Release Rate (FHRR). Many think that the larger the FHRR, the safer the system, but the fact is that if FHRR is too large, the airflows...
