TY - JOUR A1 - Alsaad, Hayder A1 - Hartmann, Maria A1 - Voelker, Conrad T1 - The effect of a living wall system designated for greywater treatment on the hygrothermal performance of the facade JF - Energy and Buildings N2 - Besides their multiple known benefits regarding urban microclimate, living walls can be used as decentralized stand-alone systems to treat greywater locally at the buildings. While this offers numerous environmental advantages, it can have a considerable impact on the hygrothermal performance of the facade as such systems involve bringing large quantities of water onto the facade. As it is difficult to represent complex entities such as plants in the typical simulation tools used for heat and moisture transport, this study suggests a new approach to tackle this challenge by coupling two tools: ENVI-Met and Delphin. ENVI-Met was used to simulate the impact of the plants to determine the local environmental parameters at the living wall. Delphin, on the other hand, was used to conduct the hygrothermal simulations using the local parameters calculated by ENVI-Met. Four wall constructions were investigated in this study: an uninsulated brick wall, a precast concrete plate, a sandy limestone wall, and a double-shell wall. The results showed that the living wall improved the U-value, the exterior surface temperature, and the heat flux through the wall. Moreover, the living wall did not increase the risk of moisture in the wall during winter and eliminated the risk of condensation.

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].

Neben der Speicherung elektrischer Energie ist die Speicherung anfallender solarer bzw. industrieller Wärme eine wichtige Herausforderung. Aufgrund der hohen Energiespeicherdichte kommt dabei der thermochemischen Wärmespeicherung eine entscheidende Rolle zu. Eine Klasse dieser Speichermaterialien bilden Kompositmaterialien, die aus einer offenporigen Matrix und einem darin eingelagerten Salzhydrat bestehen. Ausschlaggebend für eine hohe Speicherdichte ist bei dieser Materialklasse der schnelle Abtransport der durch Wasserdampfsorption entstandenen Wärme. Das entscheidende Kriterium für eine Anwendung als Speichermaterial ist somit die Wärmeleitfähigkeit des Materials. Im Rahmen der Arbeit wurden deshalb die Wärmeleitfähigkeiten ausgewählter Salze (NaCl, MgSO4 und ZnSO4) mit verschiedenen Kristallwassergehalten, Trägermaterialien wie Aktivkohle (Pellets und Pulver) und Zeolitpulver und an den daraus hergestellten Kompositmaterialien untersucht. Ziel war es außerdem Aussagen zu einer günstigen Materialkombination aus offenporigem Trägermaterial und Salzhydrat sowie eines geeigneten Porenfüllgrades zu treffen und Ansätze für die Modellierung der Wärmeleitfähigkeit der Komposite zu liefern. N2 - With the steady increase of renewable energies, the use of storage systems is becoming increasingly important. In addition to the storage of electrical energy, the storage of solar and industrial heat is an important challenge. Due to their high energy storage density, thermochemical heat storage materials are very promising. One class of these storage materials are composit materials, which consist of an porous matrix and an embedded salt hydrate. The decisive factor for a high storage density in this type of materials is the rapid removal of the heat generated by water vapor sorption. The decisive criterion for an application as a storage material is therefore the thermal conductivity of the material. The thermal conductivity of selected salts (NaCl, MgSO4 and ZnSO4) with different crystal water contents, carrier materials such as activated carbon (pellets and powder) and zeolite powder and the resulting composite materials were therefore investigated as part of the work. The aim was also to make statements on a favorable material combination of porous carrier material and salt hydrate as well as a suitable degree of pore filling and to provide approaches for modeling the thermal conductivity of the composites.

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.
