With the majority of the population currently living in urban areas, energy conservation and the reduction of environmental impact in the urban sectors are common goals for society. On the other hand, the quality of the built environment has a significant impact on people’s health, safety and comfort. Under these backgrounds, this laboratory is engaged in the investigation of the fundamental processes of thermo-fluid physical phenomena in urban-building atmosphere and in applied research aiming at sustainable living environments mainly based on the knowledge of heat transfer engineering, fluid dynamics, and mathematics.
