    Y.C. Rodríguez-Gómez1, J. Serrano-Arellano1,*, F.N. Demesa-López1, J.M. Belman-Flores2, J.F. Ituna-Yudonago3

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.23, No.6, pp. 2073-2107, 2025, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2025.069564 - 31 December 2025

    Abstract The Trombe Wall (TW) is a low-cost, passive heating system known for its high thermal efficiency, particularly in cold and temperate climates. Recent research has explored its adaptability to warm-dry climates with high thermal variability, such as those found in central Mexico. This study presents a dynamic simulation-based analysis of the TW’s thermal performance in a representative social housing unit located in Pachuca de Soto, Hidalgo. Two models were compared—one with a south-facing TW system and one without—to evaluate indoor thermal comfort throughout a full annual cycle. The simulations were conducted using OpenStudio and EnergyPlus,… More > Graphic Abstract

    Xiaodan Wu1, Jie Li1,*, Yongbin Cai2, Sihui Huang1

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.7, pp. 1963-1990, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2024.048477 - 11 June 2024

    Abstract Aiming at the problems of large energy consumption and serious pollution of winter heating existing in the rural buildings in Southern Xinjiang, a combined active-passive heating system was proposed, and the simulation software was used to optimize the parameters of the system, according to the parameters obtained from the optimization, a test platform was built and winter heating test was carried out. The simulation results showed that the thickness of the air layer of 75 mm, the total area of the vent holes of 0.24 m, and the thickness of the insulation layer of 120… More >
