Vol1: Twenty four papers from the tenth AIVC Conference, titles as follows: “Keynote Speech”; “Annex 14 - Condensation and Energy”; “Annex…
Whole-building pressurisation tests can quantify the air-leakiness of a building's external envelope. The resulting information can be used in assessing the…
In the "Stockholm Project", different blocks of multifamily buildings have been extensively monitored for about three years. Temperatures, airflows and…
Moisture and mould in buildings have become fairly common problems in Italy, particularly since regulations aimed at energy conservation have been enforced…
This paper describes tracer gas methods and equipment developed to measure infiltration and inter-zone air flow rates in New Zealand houses. Air flows in…
This paper examines some designs which lead to indoor air pollution and exhorts mandatory maintenance of all building services which determine the health…
The paper compares air infiltration rate measurements with air leakage measurements in a modem industrial building. In each case the tests have been…
A method is being developed for visualization of air flow with application to the indoor problems of heating, ventilating and air conditioning. Photographic…
This paper gives an overview of air infiltration and ventilation developments and trends in Norway. The paper is divided into an infiltration part and…
The AIVC nowadays is an established Centre on infiltration and ventilation research. It is well known throughout the world. This position has not been…
This paper deals with the elaboration and the validation of a userfriendly numerical program (EOL) for the calculation of the ventilation patterns inside…
During the past decade a multitude of diagnostic procedures associated with the evaluation of air infiltration and air leakage sites have been developed.…
The climatical conditions in Sweden are such that it has almost always been necessary to tighten the houses quite thoroughly in order to avoid cold-draught…
1979 a project was launched at Technological Institute, Copenhagen with the purpose of developing a method for continuous measurement of air change rates in…
This paper describes an experimental study of the buoyancy-driven flow and the associated energy transfer within a closed, halfscale stairwell model. It…
The distribution of wind pressure on a building envelope is governed by the size and shape of the structure and the turbulence characteristics of the wind.…
The air flow within a room, the interchange of air between rooms and the interchange of air between a building and the exterior are topics which until today…
A comparison of three injection manners, step-up, step-down and pulse, for determination of the mean age of air was made by using nitrous oxide and sulphur…
The use of passive perfluorocarbon technique for air flow measurements has been developed and tested. The building and testing of the system took…
This paper describes a simulation program which was developed for the modelling of air-conditioning systems and conditioned spaces in industrial buildings.…
