  • B U D a P E S T
    B u d a p e s t The area had been inhabited from early times, already the Romans built a settlement. They called it Aquincum and it was an important station along the limes which ran alongside the River Danube. The advantages of settling here were equally obvious at the time of the Magyar Conquest. The new settlers built a centre on both sides of the River. When Hungary was invaded and devastated by the Mongols (1241-1242), King Béla ordered new castles and fortresses to be built all around the country. He provided a good example, for he built the first Royal Palace in Buda on what from that time on become known as Castle Hill. It was also he who, in a gold-sealed letter of 1244, conferred privileges on the towns that enabled them to develop agriculture and trade. Buda became the royal seat around the turn of the fifteenth century under the rule of Sigismund of Luxembourg, and the Royal Palace grew ever larger until its zenith was reached under King Matthias (ruled 1458-1490). Pest also prospered at this time, and Matthias raised it to equal rank with Buda. In the 17th century a printing press was established, an university was found and there were social developments as well. The next challenge was the building of the first permanent bridge over the River Danube – the Chain Bridge, today still the most recognizable symbol of the city – and the logical conclusion of that was the legislative unification in 1873 of Buda, Pest and Óbuda into one city – Budapest.

  • Thermal Comfort in the Passenger Areas of the Budapest Metro
    PERIODICA POLYTECHNICA SER. MECH. ENG. VOL. 44, NO. 2, PP. 309–317 (2000) THERMAL COMFORT IN THE PASSENGER AREAS OF THE BUDAPEST METRO Péter ORDÓDY IPARTERV Rt., Department of Building Services Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Budapest University of Technology and Economics H–1521 Budapest, Hungary Received:March 30, 2000 Abstract 60,000 passengers travel by metro in Budapest day by day in the rush hours. It is very important that the passengers could be waiting – in the passenger areas of the metro – under agreeable conditions. In the last few years I have examined the questions of thermal comfort in the passenger areas of the metro, which are mostly influenced by ventilation. This paper proposes to describe the main features of existing ventilation used in the Budapest metro, then presents the climatic conditions and thermal comfort in passenger and operative areas. Based on measurements and previous studies, our objective is to define a new economic main venti- lation system and mode of operation complying with current technical requirements. Keywords: ventilation, thermal comfort, normal comfort, measurement techniques, mechanical ven- tilation. 1. Introduction Nowadays, the main ventilation fans of the thirty-year-old Budapest metro are out-of-date and should be replaced. The Budapest Transport Company has not up- to-date economical operation of the main ventilation system which is complying with the recent technical requirements. There is no existing national up-to-date planning method in respect of a possible new metro line (Dél-Buda-Rákospalota). I tried to look for answers to the above mentioned basic problems. In the past five years I have measured the climatic parameters (t,v,d p,ϕ) of the Budapest metro.
