The book of proceedings from the 13th AIVC Conference "Ventilation for Energy Efficiency and Optimum Indoor Air Quality", Nice, France, 14-18 September 1992…
This study assessed the effectiveness of permanent but controllable background ventilators in naturally ventilated, office-type buildings with different…
Selection of an air-conditioning system is generally determined by the sensible heat load of the building, as the total of external and internal loads. 3…
This paper presents the building and HVAC parameters and discusses checklists developed for obtaining these parameters in the field. The checklists or forms…
The first version of this "Atlas" contains over 100 cases of office air flow patterns for different ventilation systems. The book is designed to give the…
The paper, which is based around a proposed design for a building in Germany, discusses how the facade can be used to provide the driving force for building…
The Nucleus Hospital programme has been progressed by the Department of Health for over a decade. The Maidstone District General Hospital was the first…
Over the years there has been significant advance in the development of experimental methods and analysis for the use of tracer gases in the evaluation of…
One of the main problems about air flows pattern studies remains the experimental validation of numerical codes developped for interzone air flow and…
Building air flow is directly related to the building energy consumption and indoor air quality. As buildings become increasingly air tight, air flow…
A branched connection is a single air flow passage connecting more than two zones. Its existence in a building has not been a critical issue for the…
This investigation is concerned with the determination of velocity pressure loss-factors for HVAC system components using tracer-gas techniques.…
A small test room has been built which is five times smaller than the so called Annex-20-room. Different kinds of tracers have been used for visualizing of…
A literature review shows that the actual trends to prediction of air flow in multizone buildings are not only due to economical reasons but mainly to…
The external facade of a nine storey office building has been reclad with a ventilated cavity structure with a length to height ratio greater than forty. As…
The heat loss associated with the external fabric of a building has been greatly reduced by the increased levels of modem insulation, but heating losses…
A laboratory for the study of residential attic performance under natural conditions has been constructed. In one of the test cells, with a flat ceiling,…
Spillage of combust ion products from open f lued combust ion appliances represents a source of indoor air pollutants which can cause danger to health. Air…
By means of parametric analyses, the paper describes how the "constantness" of a Constant Air Volume system is affected by temperature differences resulting…
Modern one-family houses in Scandinavia built before 1980 are often naturally ventilated and heated by electric baseboard heaters. The overall supply of…
