Research shows that, despite compliance with building codes, residential ventilation systems do not deliver the requested air exchanges in the individual rooms.

This paper will present the context and application of earth tube systems for the provision of ventilative cooling and general make-up air in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) se

The air renovation of a building should be controlled in order to ensure a proper level of indoor air quality while minimize heat losses.

This paper presents a model-based optimal control strategy for multi-zone air-conditioning systems with strict humidity control.

The interest in phase change materials (PCMs) as a solution for thermal energy storage has been growing for the last decades.

This paper presents results from a project on the assessment of the indoor air quality (IAQ) benefits that might accrue from the use of a balanced energy recovery ventilation system.

Bio-based insulation materials represent an alternative to petro-based materials which may contribute to enhance buildings energy efficiency.

The concentration of carbon dioxide is used as an important index of indoor air quality representative of body odor or bioeffluents in Japan.
