Challenged by a talented East German rival, Marlies Göhr, Koch achieved indoor success, becoming the world's best runner in the 50-metre (1980) and 60-metre (1981, 1983 , 1985 dashes.
Appropriate passive cooling strategy selection for a building is mainly used to design early planning stages to define potential building design strategies to achieve indoor thermal comfort.
It was suggested that closed, cross ventilated courtyards be embedded to achieve indoor thermal comfort and avoid excessive humidity in hot-humid climates.
The findings recommend different combinations of window wall ratios, glass types and associated shading devices according to each climatic zone, to achieve indoor thermal comfort, as well as long-term cost-effectiveness.
Important parameters of the steady-state stage that helps to achieve indoor thermal comfort are chosen to be studied in the next stage (3rd stage) using real weather data of the New Assiut city in TRNSYS-COMIS model [20, 21], so that the third stage aims to study different parameters that achieve compact and high-performance system.
Additionally, mere comparison of design flow rates is case sensitive and, due to effects of infiltration, adventitious ventilation and occupancy, ill-suited to assess performance of an exhaust ventilation system with regard to the achieved indoor air quality and energy cost in terms of heat loss.
The European Energy Efficiency Building Directive 2002/91/CE, as well as other acts and funding programs, strongly promotes the adoption of passive strategies for buildings, in order to achieve indoor thermal comfort conditions above all in summer, so reducing or avoiding the use of air conditioning systems.
A variety of barriers exists, however, to the development of EU-wide policies to achieve indoor environmental quality.
Based on the indoor air quality model, there are multiple performance usage scenarios for achieving modest indoor air quality improvements.
Thus, the methods of achieving adequate indoor lighting conditions, by making use of daylight to save energy, while still maintaining other indoor conditions at an acceptable level, and the corresponding control algorithms, have lately become the subject of considerable attention.
