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.

To monitor this parameter, a thermostat is traditionally mounted in the indoor environment for instance in office rooms in the workplaces, or directly on the radiator or in another location in a room. One of the drawbacks of this conventional method is the measurement at a certain location instead of the temperature distribution in the entire room including the occupant zone. As a result, the climatic conditions measured at the thermostat point may differ from those at the user's location. This not only negatively impacts the thermal comfort assessment but also leads to a waste of energy due to unnecessary heating and cooling. Moreover, for measuring the distribution of the air temperature under laboratory conditions, multiple thermal sensors should be installed in the area under investigation. This requires high effort in both installation and expense. To overcome the shortcomings of traditional sensors, Acoustic travel-time TOMography (ATOM) offers an alternative based on measuring the transmission sound velocity signals. The basis of the ATOM technique is the first-order dependency of the sound velocity on the medium's temperature. The average sound velocity, along the propagation paths, can be determined by travel-times estimation of a defined acoustic signal between transducers. After the travel-times collection, the room is divided into several volumetric grid cells, i.e. voxels, whose sizes are defined depending on the dimension of the room and the number of sound paths. Accordingly, the spatial air temperature in each voxel can be determined using a suitable tomographic algorithm. Recent studies indicate that despite the great potential of this technique to detect room climate, few experiments have been conducted. This thesis aims to develop the ATOM technique for indoor climatic applications while coupling the analysis methods of tomography and room acoustics. The method developed in this thesis uses high-energy early reflections in addition to the direct paths between transducers for travel time estimation. In this way, reflections can provide multiple sound paths that allow the room coverage to be maintained even when a few or even only one transmitter and receiver are used. In the development of the ATOM measurement system, several approaches have been employed, including the development of numerical methods and simulations and conducting experimental measurements, each of which has contributed to the improvement of the system's accuracy. In order to effectively separate the early reflections and ensure adequate coverage of the room with sound paths, a numerical method was developed based on the optimization of the coordinates of the sound transducers in the test room. The validation of the optimal positioning method shows that the reconstructed temperatures were significantly improved by placing the transducers at the optimal coordinates derived from the developed numerical method. The other numerical method developed is related to the selection of the travel times of the early reflections. Accordingly, the detection of the travel times has been improved by adjusting the lengths of the multiple analysis time-windows according to the individual travel times in the reflectogram of the room impulse response. This can reduce the probability of trapping faulty travel times in the analysis time-windows. The simulation model used in this thesis is based on the image source model (ISM) method for simulating the theoretical travel times of early reflection sound paths. The simulation model was developed to simulate the theoretical travel times up to third-order reflections. The empirical measurements were carried out in the climate lab of the Chair of Building Physics under different boundary conditions, i.e., combinations of different room air temperatures under both steady-state and transient conditions, and different measurement setups. With the measurements under controllable conditions in the climate lab, the validity of the developed numerical methods was confirmed. In this thesis, the performance of the ATOM measurement system was evaluated using two measurement setups. The setup for the initial investigations consists of an omnidirectional receiver and a near omnidirectional sound source, keeping the number of transducers as few as possible. This has led to accurately identify the sources of error that could occur in each part of the measuring system. The second measurement setup consists of two directional sound sources and one omnidirectional receiver. This arrangement of transducers allowed a higher number of well-detected travel times for tomography reconstruction, a better travel time estimation due to the directivity of the sound source, and better space utilization. Furthermore, this new measurement setup was tested to determine an optimal selection of the excitation signal. The results showed that for the utilized setup, a linear chirp signal with a frequency range of 200 - 4000 Hz and a signal duration of t = 1 s represents an optimal selection with respect to the reliability of the measured travel times and higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). To evaluate the performance of the measuring setups, the ATOM temperatures were always compared with the temperatures of high-resolution NTC thermistors with an accuracy of ±0.2 K. The entire measurement program, including acoustic measurements, simulation, signal processing, and visualization of measurement results are performed in MATLAB software. In addition, to reduce the uncertainty of the positioning of the transducers, the acoustic centre of the loudspeaker was determined experimentally for three types of excitation signals, namely MLS (maximum length sequence) signals with different lengths and duration, linear and logarithmic chirp signals with different defined frequency ranges. For this purpose, the climate lab was converted into a fully anechoic chamber by attaching absorption panels to the entire surfaces of the room. The measurement results indicated that the measurement of the acoustic centre of the sound source significantly reduces the displacement error of the transducer position. Moreover, to measure the air temperature in an occupied room, an algorithm was developed that can convert distorted signals into pure reference signals using an adaptive filter. The measurement results confirm the validity of the approach for a temperature interval of 4 K inside the climate lab. Accordingly, the accuracy of the reconstructed temperatures indicated that ATOM is very suitable for measuring the air temperature distribution in rooms.}, subject = {Bauphysik}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlsaadVoelker, author = {Alsaad, Hayder and V{\"o}lker, Conrad}, title = {Measuring and visualizing the flow supplied by personalized ventilation}, series = {Proceedings Book Roomvent 2020}, booktitle = {Proceedings Book Roomvent 2020}, address = {Turin, Italy}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4657}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220622-46573}, abstract = {This study investigates the flow supplied by personalized ventilation (PV) by means of anemometer measurements and schlieren visualization.

Results indicated that PV was supplying air with low turbulence intensity that was able to penetrate the convective boundary layer of the manikin to supply clean air for inhalation.

The manikin surface temperature was adjusted to the particular indoor climate based on simulations with a thermoregulation model (UCBerkeley Thermal Comfort Model). We found that generally, the micro-climate is thinner at the lower part of the torso, but expands going up. At the head, there is a relatively thick thermal layer, which results in an ascending plume above the head. However, the micro-climate shape strongly depends not only on the body segment, but also on boundary conditions: the higher the temperature difference between the surface temperature of the manikin and the air temperature, the faster the air flow in the micro-climate. Finally, convective heat transfer coefficients strongly increase with falling room temperature, while radiative heat transfer coefficients decrease.

Zur Untersuchung des PCM-Putzes wurden materialtechnische und experimentelle sowie numerische und numerisch-analytische Methoden eingesetzt. Die Kenntnis der thermischen Parameter des PCM-Putzes ist unabl{\"a}ssig f{\"u}r die Berechnung der m{\"o}glichen Temperaturreduktionen. Zur Bestimmung der Latentw{\"a}rme, des qualitativen Schmelz- und Erstarrungsprozesses sowie des Temperaturintervalls, in dem der Phasen{\"u}bergang stattfindet, wurden Messungen mit einem Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) durchgef{\"u}hrt. F{\"u}r die experimentelle Untersuchung des PCM-Putzes wurden zwei identische Testr{\"a}ume in Leichtbauweise erstellt. Die R{\"a}ume wurden im Verifikationsobjekt „Eiermannbau" des Sonderforschungsbereiches SFB 524 der Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar gemessen. Nach der {\"U}berpr{\"u}fung, dass sich beide R{\"a}ume thermisch gleich verhalten, wurde ein Raum mit dem PCM-Putz und der zweite Raum mit einem vergleichbaren Innenputz ohne PCM verputzt. Thermoelemente zur Temperaturmessung im Bauteil, an der Oberfl{\"a}che und zur Raumlufttemperaturbestimmung wurden angebracht und mit einer Messwerterfassungsanlage verbunden.

Die Funktion c(T) wird auf Basis der DSC-Messungen bestimmt. Die Modellierung erfolgte mit einem Finite-Differenzen-Verfahren auf Grundlage der Fourier'schen W{\"a}rmeleitungsgleichung. Im Rahmen der Arbeit wurde ein PCM-Modul entwickelt, das in ein Geb{\"a}udesimulationsprogramm implementiert wurde. Mit dem neuen Modul lassen sich sowohl die Temperaturverl{\"a}ufe in einem PCM-Bauteil wie auch seine Wechselwirkung mit dem Raumklima darstellen. Eine Validierung des entwickelten PCM-Moduls anhand von zahlreichen experimentellen Daten der Versuchsr{\"a}ume wurde f{\"u}r das PCM-Modul erfolgreich durchgef{\"u}hrt.

Der PCM-Putz eignet sich vor allem f{\"u}r Anwendungen in Leichtbauten wie z.B. moderne B{\"u}ror{\"a}ume.

Phase change materials (PCM) that undergo a phase transition in the temperature range of thermal comfort can add thermal mass without increasing the structural load of the building. The investigated PCM were micro-encapsulated and mixed into gypsum plaster. The experiments showed a reduction of indoor-temperature of up to 4 K when using a 3 cm layer of PCM-plaster with micro-encapsulated paraffin. The measurement results could validate a numerical model that is based on a temperature dependent function for heat capacity. Thermal building simulation showed that a 3 cm layer of PCM-plaster can help to fulfil German regulations concerning heat protection of buildings in summer for most office rooms.}, subject = {Architektur }, language = {de} } @article{GenaVoelkerSettles, author = {Gena, Amayu Wakoya and V{\"o}lker, Conrad and Settles, Gary}, title = {Qualitative and quantitative schlieren optical measurement of the human thermal plume}, series = {Indoor Air}, volume = {2020}, journal = {Indoor Air}, number = {volume 30, issue 4}, publisher = {John Wiley \& Sons}, doi = {10.1111/ina.12674}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20200709-41936}, pages = {757 -- 766}, abstract = {A new large-field, high-sensitivity, single-mirror coincident schlieren optical instrument has been installed at the Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar for the purpose of indoor air research.

The schlieren system produces excellent qualitative images of the manikin's thermal plume and also quantitative data, especially schlieren velocimetry of the plume's velocity field that is derived from the digital cross-correlation analysis of a large time sequence of schlieren images. The quantitative results are compared with thermistor and hot-wire anemometer data obtained at discrete points in the plume.

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.}, subject = {Bildverarbeitung}, language = {en} } @misc{Arnold2005, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Arnold, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Raumakustische Rekonstruktion der Schlosskapelle des Weimarer Residenzschlosses im Zustand von 1658 - 1774}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.642}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-6424}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, year = {2005}, abstract = {In dieser Arbeit wird eine umfassende Untersuchung der raumakustischen Qualit{\"a}t der Schlosskapelle des Weimarer Residenzschlosses f{\"u}r den Zustand, wie sie zwischen 1658 und 1774 existierte, durchgef{\"u}hrt. Die Schlosskapelle als sakraler Raum innerhalb der Schlossanlage diente der Aus{\"u}bung religi{\"o}ser Handlungen und war fester Bestandteil des kulturellen Lebens am Weimarer Hof. Eine wesentliche Bedeutung erlangte sie in diesem Zusammenhang als musikalische Wirkungsst{\"a}tte Johann Sebastian Bachs. Mit ihrer akustischen Qualit{\"a}t hatte sie einen erheblichen Einfluss auf sein musikalisches Schaffen. Die Untersuchung der raumakustischen Situation stellt damit eine notwendige Grundlage f{\"u}r eine musikwissenschaftliche Einordnung der Schlosskapelle als Auff{\"u}hrungsst{\"a}tte geistlicher Kompositionen dar. Der raumakustische Zustand der Weimarer Schlosskapelle ist eng mit der baulichen Entwicklung der gesamten Schlossanlage verbunden, die infolge {\"a}ußerer Einfl{\"u}sse einem steten Wandel unterlag. Die Umgestaltung der Schlosskapelle zu Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts erfolgte nach barocken Raumvorstellungen. Einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Gestaltung des Innenraumes {\"u}bte zudem die reformierte Kirche mit ihren liturgischen Anforderungen aus. Die historische Entwicklung der architektonischen Stilepoche sowie der protestantischen Kirche wird in Bezug zu dem akustischen Erscheinungsbild der Schlosskapelle n{\"a}her untersucht. Ausgehend von der architektonischen Rekonstruktion wird die Raumstruktur der historischen Schlosskapelle in ein Computermodell {\"u}bertragen, mit dem die Berechnung akustischer Bewertungskriterien m{\"o}glich ist. Eine ausgiebige Recherche nach verwendeten Materialien und der Ausbildung baulicher Konstruktionen ist dabei die Grundvoraussetzung f{\"u}r aussagekr{\"a}ftige Simulationsergebnisse. Die Wahl der Materialparameter sowie der Einfluss der geometrischen Besonderheiten der Weimarer Schlosskapelle auf die simulierten Schallfeldparameter werden durch die Untersuchung eines Referenzobjektes verifiziert. Daf{\"u}r werden die akustischen Bewertungskriterien mit einer raumakustischen Messung ermittelt und mit Simulationsergebnissen verglichen. Ein besonderes Interesse bei der Simulation der Schlosskapelle gilt der Nachhallzeit als Charakteristikum der Halligkeit, die in sakralen Geb{\"a}uden die auff{\"a}lligste akustische Raumeigenschaft darstellt. Mit der rekonstruierten Nachhallzeit wird die Schlosskapelle mit barocken Kirchen verglichen und bez{\"u}glich ihrer Lage im baustiltypischen Bereich beurteilt. Der Direktschall und die im zeitig folgenden Reflexionen sind bei der raumakustischen Simulation maßgeblicher Gegenstand der Betrachtung. W{\"a}hrend der Nachhall das Verschmelzen einzelner T{\"o}ne zu einem Gesamtklang f{\"o}rdert, ist der Direktschall f{\"u}r die Deutlichkeit von Sprache und der klanglichen Durchsichtigkeit von musikalischen Strukturen verantwortlich. Der Einfluss des Direktschalls wird mit speziellen Energiekriterien beurteilt, mit denen gezielte Aussagen {\"u}ber die akustische Qualit{\"a}t einzelner Platzbereiche m{\"o}glich sind.

It employs the relationship between the sound velocities along sound-paths and their related travel-times through measured room-impulse-response (RIR). Thus, the precise travel-time estimation is of critical importance which can be performed by applying an analysis time-window method. In this study, multiple analysis time-windows with different lengths are proposed to overcome the challenge of accurate detection of the travel-times at RIR. Hence, the ATOM-temperatures distribution has been measured at the climate chamber lab of the Bauhaus-University Weimar. As a benchmark, the temperatures of NTC thermistors are compared to the reconstructed temperatures derived from the ATOM technique illustrating this technique can be a reliable substitute for traditional thermal sensors. The numerical results indicate that the selection of an appropriate analysis time-window significantly enhances the accuracy of the reconstructed temperatures distribution.}, subject = {Bauphysik}, language = {en} }
