12th AIVC Conference "Air Movement and Ventilation Control within Buildings" Ottawa, Canada, 24-27 September 1991
The performance of a system for demand-controlled ventilation was investigated for a period of 1.5 years. Presence sensors of the passive infrared type are used to control the ventilation rate in each classroom. The signal from the presence sensors was recorded, as well as the CO2 concentration in the classrooms. One of the classrooms was equipped with displacement ventilation. A comparison was made between displacement and mixing ventilation to investigate the CO2 concentration in the stay zone. A significantly lower CO2 concentration was measured in the case of displacement ventilation.
