  abstract  = {Kleine Kommunen im l{\"a}ndlichen Raum sind aufgrund ihrer oft eingeschr{\"a}nkten personellen und finanziellen Kapazit{\"a}ten bisher eher sporadisch in den Themenfeldern Energieeffizienz und Erneuerbare Energien aktiv. Immer wieder stellt sich daher Frage, wie die Klimaschutzstrategien des Bundes und der L{\"a}nder dort mit dem verf{\"u}gbaren Personal kosteng{\"u}nstig realisierbar sind. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird ein Werkzeug entwickelt, mit dessen Hilfe der aktive Einstieg in diese Thematik mit geringen Aufwand und {\"u}berwiegend barrierefrei m{\"o}glich ist. Der Aufbau eines prozessorientierten Entwicklungs- und Moderationsmodells zur Erprobung und Umsetzung bezahlbarer Handlungsoptionen f{\"u}r Energieeinsparungen und effizienten Energieeinsatz im {\"u}berwiegend l{\"a}ndlichen gepr{\"a}gten Raum ist der Schwerpunkt der Softwarel{\"o}sung. Kommunen werden mit deren Hilfe in die Lage versetzt, in die notwendigen Prozesse der Energie- und W{\"a}rmewende einzusteigen. Dabei soll der modulare Aufbau die regul{\"a}ren Schritte notwendiger (integrierter) Planungsprozesse nicht vollst{\"a}ndig ersetzen. Vielmehr k{\"o}nnen innerhalb der Online-Anwendung - {\"u}berwiegend automatisiert - konkrete Maßnahmenvorschl{\"a}ge erstellt werden, die ein solides Fundament der k{\"u}nftigen energetischen Entwicklung der Kommunen darstellen. F{\"u}r eine gezielte Validierung der Ergebnisse und der Ableitung potentieller Maßnahmen werden f{\"u}r die Erprobung Modellkommunen in Th{\"u}ringen, Bayern und Hessen als Reallabore einbezogen. Das Tool steht bisher zun{\"a}chst nur den beteiligten Modellkommunen zur Verf{\"u}gung. Die entwickelte Softwarel{\"o}sung soll k{\"u}nftig Schritt f{\"u}r Schritt allen interessierten Kommunen mit diversen Hilfsmitteln und einer Vielzahl anderer praktischer Bestandteile zur Verf{\"u}gung gestellt werden.},

Diese Daten sind im Nachhinein h{\"a}ufig keinen eindeutig genauen Standorten und Blickwinkeln auf das Bauwerk zuzuordnen. Insbesondere gilt dies f{\"u}r Ortsunkundige oder f{\"u}r Detailaufnahmen. Eine zus{\"a}tzliche Herausforderung stellt die Aufnahme von W{\"a}rmebr{\"u}cken- oder andersartigen Geb{\"a}udedetails durch Thermogramme dar. In der Praxis kommen hier oftmals analoge, fehleranf{\"a}llige L{\"o}sungen zum Einsatz. Durch die Nutzung von Georeferenzierung kann diese L{\"u}cke geschlossen und eine eindeutige Kommunikation und Auswertung gew{\"a}hrleistet werden. Im Gegensatz zu den {\"u}blichen Kameras sind Smartphones nach Stand der Technik ausreichend ausgestattet, um neben Daten zu Standort auch die Orientierungswinkel einer Bildaufnahme zu dokumentieren. Die georefenzierten Bilder k{\"o}nnen auf Grundlage der in den sogenannten Exif-Daten mitgeschriebenen Informationen h{\"a}ndisch in ein bestehendes Quartiersmodell integriert werden. Anhand eines universit{\"a}ren Musterquartiers wird die nutzerfreundliche Realisierung beispielhaft erprobt und auf ihre Potentiale zur Automatisierung in Python untersucht. Hierf{\"u}r wurde ein bestehendes Quartiersmodell als geometrische Grundlage genutzt und um RGB-Bilder sowie Thermogramme erweitert. Das beschriebene Vorgehen wird im Rahmen der Anwendung auf seinen m{\"o}glichen Einsatz im Rahmen einer energetischen Quartierserfassung sowie einer Bauschadensdokumentation untersucht.

  abstract  = {Acoustic travel-time TOMography (ATOM) allows the measurement and reconstruction of air temperature distributions. Due to limiting factors, such as the challenge of travel-time estimation of the early reflections in the room impulse response, which heavily depends on the position of transducers inside the measurement area, ATOM is applied mainly outdoors. To apply ATOM in buildings, this paper presents a numerical solution to optimize the positions of transducers. This optimization avoids reflection overlaps, leading to distinguishable travel-times in the impulse response reflectogram. To increase the accuracy of the measured temperature within tomographic voxels, an additional function is employed to the proposed numerical method to minimize the number of sound-path-free voxels, ensuring the best sound-ray coverage of the room. Subsequently, an experimental set-up has been performed to verify the proposed numerical method. The results indicate the positive impact of the optimal positions of transducers on the distribution of ATOM-temperatures.},

  abstract  = {This dataset consists mainly of two subsets. The first subset includes measurements and simulation data conducted to validate the simulation tool ENVI-met. The measurements were conducted at the campus of the Bauhaus-University Weimar in Weimar, Germany and consisted of recording exterior air temperature, globe temperature, relative humidity, and wind velocity at 1.5 m at four points on four different days. After the measurements, the geometry of the campus was modelled and meshed; the simulations were conducted using the weather data of the measurements days with the aim of investigating the accuracy of the model. The second data subset consists of ENVI-met simulation data of the potential of facade greening in improving the outdoor environment and the indoor air temperature during heatwaves in Central European cities. The data consist of the boundary conditions and the simulation output of two simulation models: with and without facade greening. The geometry of the models corresponded to a residential buildings district in Stuttgart, Germany. The simulation output consisted of exterior air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative humidity, and wind velocity at 12 different probe points in the model in addition to the indoor air temperature of an exemplary building. The dataset presents both vertical profiles of the probed parameters as well as the time series output of the five-day simulation duration. Both data subsets correspond to the investigations presented in the co-submitted article [1].},

  abstract  = {It is widely accepted that most people spend the majority of their lives indoors. Most individuals do not realize that while indoors, roughly half of heat exchange affecting their thermal comfort is in the form of thermal infrared radiation. We show that while researchers have been aware of its thermal comfort significance over the past century, systemic error has crept into the most common evaluation techniques, preventing adequate characterization of the radiant environment. Measuring and characterizing radiant heat transfer is a critical component of both building energy efficiency and occupant thermal comfort and productivity. Globe thermometers are typically used to measure mean radiant temperature (MRT), a commonly used metric for accounting for the radiant effects of an environment at a point in space. In this paper we extend previous field work to a controlled laboratory setting to (1) rigorously demonstrate that existing correction factors used in the American Society of Heating Ventilation and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 55 or ISO7726 for using globe thermometers to quantify MRT are not sufficient; (2) develop a correction to improve the use of globe thermometers to address problems in the current standards; and (3) show that mean radiant temperature measured with ping-pong ball-sized globe thermometers is not reliable due to a stochastic convective bias. We also provide an analysis of the maximum precision of globe sensors themselves, a piece missing from the domain in contemporary literature.},

  abstract  = {The spread of breathing air when playing wind instruments and singing was investigated and visualized using two methods: (1) schlieren imaging with a schlieren mirror and (2) background-oriented schlieren (BOS). These methods visualize airflow by visualizing density gradients in transparent media. The playing of professional woodwind and brass instrument players, as well as professional classical trained singers were investigated to estimate the spread distances of the breathing air. For a better comparison and consistent measurement series, a single high note, a single low note, and an extract of a musical piece were investigated. Additionally, anemometry was used to determine the velocity of the spreading breathing air and the extent to which it was quantifiable. The results showed that the ejected airflow from the examined instruments and singers did not exceed a spreading range of 1.2 m into the room. However, differences in the various instruments have to be considered to assess properly the spread of the breathing air. The findings discussed below help to estimate the risk of cross-infection for wind instrument players and singers and to develop efficacious safety precautions, which is essential during critical health periods such as the current COVID-19 pandemic.},

  abstract  = {This dataset presents the numerical analysis of the heat and moisture transport through a facade equipped with a living wall system designated for greywater treatment. While such greening systems provide many environmental benefits, they involve pumping large quantities of water onto the wall assembly, which can increase the risk of moisture in the wall as well as impaired energetic performance due to increased thermal conductivity with increased moisture content in the building materials. This dataset was acquired through numerical simulation using the coupling of two simulation tools, namely Envi-Met and Delphin. This coupling was used to include the complex role the plants play in shaping the near-wall environmental parameters in the hygrothermal simulations. Four different wall assemblies were investigated, each assembly was assessed twice: with and without the living wall. The presented data include the input and output parameters of the simulations, which were presented in the co-submitted article [1].},

  abstract  = {Personalized ventilation (PV) is a mean of delivering conditioned outdoor air into the breathing zone of the occupants. This study aims to qualitatively investigate the personalized flows using two methods of visualization: (1) schlieren imaging using a large schlieren mirror and (2) thermography using an infrared camera. While the schlieren imaging was used to render the velocity and mass transport of the supplied flow, thermography was implemented to visualize the air temperature distribution induced by the PV. Both studies were conducted using a thermal manikin to simulate an occupant facing a PV outlet. As a reference, the flow supplied by an axial fan and a cased axial fan was visualized with the schlieren system as well and compared to the flow supplied by PV. Schlieren visualization results indicate that the steady, low-turbulence flow supplied by PV was able to penetrate the thermal convective boundary layer encasing the manikin's body, providing clean air for inhalation. Contrarily, the axial fan diffused the supplied air over a large target area with high turbulence intensity; it only disturbed the convective boundary layer rather than destroying it. The cased fan supplied a flow with a reduced target area which allowed supplying more air into the breathing zone compared to the fan. The results of thermography visualization showed that the supplied cool air from PV penetrated the corona-shaped thermal boundary layer. Furthermore, the supplied air cooled the surface temperature of the face, which indicates the large impact of PV on local thermal sensation and comfort.},
