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.
Bestimmungen und Anforderungen an den Entwurf von Baustelleneinrichtungen (BE), Kraneinsatzplan als Bestandteil der BE, planungstechnische Aspekte, Untersuchung von CAD-Anwendungen für die Planung von Baustelleneinrichtungen, Entwicklung eines Kraneinsatzplaners, Sicherheitsaspekte bei der Planung von Baukraneinsätzen. Es zeigte sich, dass gerade die Forderung der Betrachtung kausaler und räumlicher Abhängigkeiten mit den in der Praxis angewandten Planungswerkzeugen nicht oder nur eingeschränkt realisierbar ist. Mit dem Programm >EasyCrane TK< wird eine Möglichkeit aufgezeigt, die Erstellung von Kraneinsatzplänen effizienter und für die Umsetzung auf der Baustelle sicherer zu gestalten.
The cost of keeping large area urban computer aided architectural design (CAAD) models up to date justifies wider use and access. This paper reviews the potential for collaborative groupwork creation and maintenance of such models and suggests an approach to data entry, data management and generation of appropriate levels of detail models from a Geographic Information System (GIS). Staff at the University of the West of England (UWE) modelled a large area of Bristol to demonstrate millennium landmark proposals. It became swiftly apparent that continued amendment of the model to keep it an accurate reflection of changes on the ground was a major data management problem. Piecing in new CAAD models received from Architectural Practices to visualise them in context as part of the planning negotiation process has often taken staff several days of work for each instance. The model is so complex and proprietary that Bristol City operates a specialist visualisation bureau service. UWE later modelled the environs of the Tower of London to support bids for funding and to provide the context for judging the visual impact of iterative design development. Further research continued to develop more effective approaches to. Data conversion and amalgamation from all the diverse sources was the major impediment to effective group working to create the models. It became apparent that a GIS would assist retrieving all the appropriate data that described the part of the model under creation. It was possible to predict that management of many historic part models stepping back through time, allowing for different expert interpretations to co-exist would be in itself a major task requiring a spatial database/GIS. UWE started afresh from the original source data, to explore the collaborative use of GIS and Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML) to integrate models and interventions from various sources and to generate an overall navigable interactive whole. Current exploration of the combination of event driven behaviours and Structured Query Language is seeking to define how appropriately to modify objects in the VRML model on demand. This is beginning to realise the potential for use of this process for: asynchronous group modelling on the lines of a collaborative virtual design studio; historic building maintenance management; visitor management; interpretation of historic sites to visitors and public planning information.
Die Planung komplexer Bauwerke erfolgt zunehmend mit rechnergestützten Planungswerkzeugen, die den Export von Bauwerksinformationen im STEP-Format auf Grundlage der Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) ermöglichen. Durch die Verfügbarkeit dieser Schnittstelle ist es möglich, Bauwerksinformationen für eine weiterführende applikationsübergreifende Verarbeitung bereitzustellen. Ein großer Teil der bereitgestellten Informationen bezieht sich auf die geometrische Beschreibung der einzelnen Bauteile. Um den am Bauprozess Beteiligten eine optimale Auswertung und Analyse der Bauwerksinformationen zu ermöglichen, ist deren Visualisierung unumgänglich. Das IFC-Modell stellt diese Daten mit Hilfe verschiedener Geometriemodelle bereit. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt die Visualisierung von IFC-Objekten mittels Java3D. Er beschränkt sich dabei auf die Darstellung von Objekten, deren Geometrie mittels Boundary Representation (Brep) oder Surface-Model-Repräsentation beschrieben wird.
